The pupil premium is funding allocated to schools for the specific purpose of boosting the attainment of pupils from low-income families. Funding is based on children registered for a free school meal and children that have been in care for more than six months.

The aim of the Pupil Premium funding, which is additional to main school funding, is allocated to help address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) and their wealthier peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most. Whilst schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit, we are required to publish online information about how we have used the Premium.

Please find below our Pupil Premium information. You are able to access this information by clicking on the download link. This information is reviewed annually.

Ofsted Report

Parent View

Parent View gives you the chance to tell Ofsted what you think about your child’s school. Parent View asks for your opinion on 12 aspects of your child’s school, from the quality of teaching, to dealing with bullying and poor behaviour. If your child is at a boarding or a residential special school, it also asks for your opinion on five aspects of your child’s boarding or welfare. We will use the information you provide when making decisions about which schools to inspect, and when.

When inspecting education in independent schools, we recommend when inspection should take place but inspect at the request of the DfE.

By sharing your views, you’ll be helping your child’s school to improve. You will also be able to see what other parents have said about your child’s school.

Bader Primary School Governance

The 1590 Trust Bader Primary School Scheme of Delegation

The 1590 Trust established a school advisory board in September 2017. This will be operate instead of a local governing body, until the Trust is satisfied a local governing body can take back the full running of the school. 

The Bader School Advisory Board will meet at least termly and will:

• Seek to understand how the school is led and managed: the Head Teacher will report termly on how the school is fulfilling the trust’s ethos, vision and strategy
• Act as the panel when reviewing the head’s decisions on exclusions, and parents’ complaints
• Be the consultative body for the school Represent the school’s stakeholders (pupils, parents, staff and wider community)
• Forge links with the Thornaby community
• Act as an ambassador for the school
• Seek to build up the capacity of the school advisory board, with the intent of being able to demonstrate to the Trust, a conversion into a Local Governing Body is practical

It is the intent of the Trust to seek to promptly build up capacity and address any issues within an individual school, operating under an advisory school council, so as to enable that school to move to a local governing body, with delegated powers, over a period of time.

Register of Governors Interests

Approved Remits and Roles within The 1590 Trust

Register of Governor Interest Guidance

Governors must declare any relevant business interests as well as the details of any other educational establishments they govern.  The register must also set out any relationships between governors and members of the schools staff including spouses, partners and relatives.  It is important to address any perception of a conflict of interests by making clear where such potential personal or pecuniary interests might apply; this might be a conflict between personal interests and the interests of the school or the Council when dealing with outside organisations or individuals.

Note 1.           Pecuniary interest includes current employment, businesses (of which partner/proprietor), company directorship, charity trusteeship and other conflict.

Note 2.           Personal Interests can also include business involvement/company directorship or trusteeships or family or close connections to the governor (for example a company the school might have contracts with).

Examples (potential conflicts):

• A governor whose spouse/partner is employed by the school – Should not take part in discussion regarding the school’s pay policy or any staffing matter that might impact on their partner. Both direct and indirect decisions might impact on the salary range of senior staff e.g. increasing pupil numbers.
• A governor involved with any committee group, business or after school club who hire part of the school – Should not be party to discussion involving the use of the school or their charging policy.
• A governor who is a supplier of goods or services to the school – Should not take part in decisions regarding the letting of contracts for that type of goods or services where a sub-contract relationship might exist.

The register of governor interests must also include details of attendance record at the governing body meetings and committees over the year and reviewed and updated on an annual basis indicating also when a governor steps down.

Associate governors must be included on the register and it should be clear when they have voting rights.

The school is required to maintain a similar register of staff interests that should also be reviewed annually – as specified in the NCC code of conduct.  Staff had previously been included with the governor’s declarations but in light of the governing body register of interests being required to be published on the school web site, a separate register should be drawn up.  Staff governors will need to be included on both registers.

Whole Education is a dynamic partnership of schools and organisations committed to redefining today’s educational offering. We believe that all children deserve an engaging and rounded education that supports academic achievement, but also develops the skills, knowledge and qualities needed to flourish in life, learning and work.

As a national network, Whole Education facilitates shared-learning and collaboration between innovative schools; exposes teachers to world-class thinking and approaches; and supports effective professional development, enabling its member schools to move beyond delivering the national curriculum to building a stronger foundation for learning – a ‘whole education’.

Our Mission:

• To help children and young people to develop a range of skills, qualities and knowledge they will need to succeed and thrive in life, learning and work
• To help to make learning more relevant and engaging, with young people taking ownership of their own learning
• To support learning across various settings (online, outside, at home, through volunteering and work) while engaging the wider community
