In 2018-19, 70% of exclusions were PP students and in 2019-20, 69% of exclusions were PP students. This remains a priority. |
Disadvantaged students to have a broad and balanced appropriate curriculum and have access to a range of disciplines including applied subjects |
The curriculum for all students has been adjusted to ensure a more balanced and manageable timetable for students |
Increase the literacy levels for PP students through KS2/KS3 transition and KS3. Promote culture of reading throughout the school through dedicated reading time. |
Data to be analysed in January |
More HA and MA PP students to progress to 6th form and University and Higher Apprenticeships through targeted careers support and access to appropriate opportunities. |
In 2019, 3.3% of students who went to university from TLES were PP. Two thirds of PP students in Year 13 went to University. In 2020, 3.7% of students who went to university from TLES were PP. One third of PP students in Year 13 went to University. This remains an area to improve. |
Improved attendance for PP students and gap to close with others |
Attendance of disadvantaged students fell from 90.3%% to 89.5% (in the time in school), with the gap against all students rising from 3.7% to 4%. This remains a priority for TLES. |
