Statement of intent

Our intent for Pupil Premium

At Warmley Park, we are deeply committed to unlocking the potential of every pupil. Children with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) often face complex, intersecting barriers to education. Our holistic approach is meticulously structured to deploy Pupil Premium funding where it matters most: enhancing individual communication systems, addressing emotional and physical wellbeing, and curating bespoke learning pathways.

By focusing on the whole child, we ensure that socio-economic disadvantages do not dictate a student’s capacity to connect, learn, and express themselves. Our nurturing, expert-led environment guarantees every pupil receives the tailored support required to foster meaningful independence and joyful learning.

Intended Outcome

How We Will Measure Success

1. Communication Systems / EHCP Targets

Implementing and expanding specialized augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems. Aligning teaching pathways directly with custom Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) communication milestones.

Over 90% of targeted pupils consistently achieving or exceeding their key communication EHCP goals. Verified through quarterly speech therapist assessments and localized data tracked in the school’s digital portfolio systems.

2. Sensory Activities / Engagement

Providing tailored, high-impact sensory diets and dedicated integration therapies designed to maximize learner readiness and engagement levels across specialized classroom environments.

Documented reduction in dysregulation incidents alongside measurable increases in lesson-time engagement, monitored via standardized Engagement Model profiles and behavioral logs.

3. Physical Development / Hydrotherapy

Designing structured gross and fine motor skill activities, alongside clinical and recreational hydrotherapy programs to enhance body awareness and physical control.

Physiotherapy tracking charts demonstrating positive progression in physical range of motion, muscle tone, and core stability metrics for 100% of participating students.

4. Confidence & Independence / Community Participation

Providing realistic community interaction scenarios, enterprise initiatives, and active travel plans to foster deep foundational life skills and individual self-reliance.

Successful outer-school trips, practical mock shopping sessions, and self-evaluation milestones logged by educators and parents during annual transition reports.

5. Arts Participation / Music Lessons

Widening accessibility to inclusive music, drama, and fine art projects by integrating qualified therapists and professional-led creative workshops.

Detailed session tracking logs from specialized music therapists, alongside active pupil performance rates in seasonal school assemblies and community exhibitions.
