What leaders say about Disadvantaged support:
"Oli and Adam were extremely helpful in developing and refining our pupil premium strategy. They provided clear guidance, practical solutions, and shared valuable insights that have strengthened our approach to supporting disadvantaged pupils.
They not only offered support but took the time to understand our specific context. They managed the balance between challenge and support. The feedback was useful and I'm clear about my next steps through the helpful action plan. "
