Pupil Premium Report and Strategy Statement

In Uplands Junior Academy we endeavor to fulfill the Pupil Premium Policy set out by the L.E.A.D. Academy Trust by deploying the following Trust strategies to diminish the difference in attainment for pupils in receipt of the Pupil Premium funding.

  • Clear, responsive, leadership
  • Having a whole-school ethos of attainment for all
