Every Child, Every Opportunity: Our Commitment to Pupil Premium

At ACT Multi Academy Trust, we believe every child deserves to achieve, belong, and thrive—regardless of background or circumstance. Our Pupil Premium Strategy is more than a policy; it’s a promise to champion equity, unlock potential, and nurture the unique gifts of every pupil.

“Children are not things to be moulded, but people to be unfolded.”
— Jess Lair

We are proud to place disadvantaged pupils at the heart of our mission. Through high-quality teaching, targeted support, and a culture of inclusion, we strive to close gaps and open doors. Our approach is rooted in evidence, compassion, and the conviction that excellence is an entitlement for all.

“Every child you pass in the hall has a story that needs to be heard. Maybe you are the one meant to hear it.”
— Bethany Hill

What’s in Our Pupil Premium Strategy?

Our strategy sets out:

  • High-Quality Teaching: Every classroom is a place where learning is ambitious, inclusive, and memorable.
  • Targeted Academic Support: We use evidence-based interventions, tutoring, and therapies to help every child make progress.
  • Wider Strategies: We focus on attendance, wellbeing, enrichment, and purposeful family engagement.
  • Pupil Voice: We listen to our pupils, act on their feedback, and ensure their voices shape our decisions.
  • Monitoring and Impact: We track progress, celebrate successes, and adapt our approach to meet every child’s needs.
“A child’s life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark.”
— Chinese Proverb

Our Promise

We promise to:

  • Know and value every pupil, ensuring no child is left behind.
  • Remove barriers—whether academic, social, or emotional—so every child can flourish.
  • Work in partnership with families, staff, and governors to create opportunities and celebrate achievements.
  • Keep our strategy alive in daily practice, not just on paper, so that every child’s journey is supported and every success is shared.

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
— Eleanor Roosevelt

We invite you to explore our vision, join our journey, and help us make a difference—one child at a time.

At ACT, we don’t just talk about opportunity. We create it.
