Primary. Extra mile
Description
Primary schools are being encouraged to explore ways of improving outcomes for pupils from low income families under the Extra Mile initiative.Recent research shows that parental and community involvement, among other initiatives, can be key to pupil improvement in behaviour and attainment. At Westborough Primary and Nursery School in Southend lessons finish at 1.30 so pupils can participate in an outstanding range of free after school clubs to enrich the curriculum. The school has also pioneered personal learning passports which focus on assessing and improving the progress of pupils on free school meals. At Thongsley Fields Primary and Nursery parents from a deprived part of Huntingdon can attend a wide range of family learning classes while their children benefit from a lively free breakfast club. The school also provides nurture sessions for their most vulnerable pupils.
