Disadvantaged pupil barriers to success

Background not rich in literacy or vocabulary therefore engagement with reading and text is limited, range of vocabulary is limited.

Limited cultural capital which can lead to lack of ambition or understanding of opportunities in the wider world

Outcomes and progress can be significantly related to, for example, emotional literacy, behaviour support or physical development, and the school needs to be strong at identifying the barriers that each individual PP student faces.
