- We will achieve a year on year (over three years) reduction in the progress gap at GCSE between pupils within the school’s identified groups (for example, pupil’s for whom we receive Pupil Premium) and their peers
- We will increase participation by our potentially vulnerable pupils in after school clubs, extra curricular activities (for example, peripatetic tuition), homework and other extra and co-curricular provision
