Pupil Premium Strategy

Our strategy to attract more students from disadvantaged backgrounds into Plymouth High School for Girls: 

We believe it is essential that everything possible is done to raise aspirations and provide support to families whose children are eligible for pupil premium funding within the education sector. We are keen to increase the number of children from disadvantaged backgrounds attending our grammar schools so that they can benefit from a selective education if it is the right choice for them. 
 
In addition to the free online guides and familiarisation resources offered by GL Assessment available above, we are offering girls, eligible for pupil premium funding, further support and are delighted to announce that we have funded an online course for them which has been put together by the Grammar School Heads’ Association. The course includes video content, practice questions and advice about taking the 11-plus assessment. There are 8 one-hour lessons available which children can work through independently. 
 
Our hope is that by working through the tasks online, students will become more familiar with the type of questions that they will be required to complete during the 11-plus assessment. 

If you are interested in being included in this programme of support, and your daughter is eligible for pupil premium funding, please email: anettleship@dhsg.co.uk

Free 11+ Familiarisation Materials for pupil premium          

Plymouth High School for Girls is proud to be open to pupils from all backgrounds.

To encourage even greater representation of children at PHS, we work in partnership with Atom Learning, the leading online Key Stage 2 learning and 11+ preparation platform, to provide students who are eligible for pupil premium with free online learning and 11+ exam preparation. 

This programme is designed to help children master national curriculum objectives, familiarise them with the type of questions they may see on the test, and build exam technique and confidence. They'll be able to access practice questions, learning resources, practice papers and test materials through their Atom Home account.

If your child has been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years, please fill in the form by clicking the button below. They will be given free access to Atom Home when their pupil premium status has been verified by their primary school.
