Statement of Intent
Blanche Nevile School is a Special School for Deaf Children in North London with places for children aged 3 to 16. Pupil Premium is allocated to students according to set criteria, and schools are accountable as to how the additional funding has been used to support pupils.
Pupil premium is funding to improve education outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in schools in England. Evidence shows that disadvantaged children generally face additional challenges in reaching their potential at school and often do not perform as well as other pupils.

- High-quality teaching, such as staff professional development.
- Targeted academic support, such as tutoring.
- Wider strategies to address non-academic barriers to success in schools, such as attendance, behaviour and social and emotional support.
