The Pupil Premium & Ofsted: Ensuring Successful Outcomes

SecEd’s inaugural Ofsted and the Pupil Premium conference – Ensuring Successful Outcomes – took place last month. Sal McKeown looks at what advice the experts and case studies there had to offer.

The funding for Pupil Premium is a big commitment by government. Now schools have to deliver. This was the message from Dr John Dunford, the national Pupil Premium champion. Speaking in his keynote address at the Pupil Premium and Ofsted – Ensuring Successful Outcomes conference, he emphasised to delegates: “You have complete autonomy on how you spend this money but you are accountable.”

The conference, held at Maple House in Birmingham last month, was organised by SecEd and sister magazine Headteacher Update and set out to help schools develop a more strategic approach to the Pupil Premium and get an insight into initiatives and examples of good practice from other schools.
