Supporting Pupil Premium Students with KS2 attainment
King Edward VI Foundation are working in partnership with Atom Learning to provide completely free access to Atom Home (normally £575.90 a year) for all Key Stage 2 pupil premium students in Birmingham primary schools.
We understand the challenges that schools face in ensuring that all children, especially those experiencing disadvantage, have access to the best possible educational resources. This initiative is designed to provide that much-needed support, at no cost to your school.
Why have we set this initiative up?
We are committed to improving outcomes for under-resourced children across the UK. By providing free access to Atom Home for pupil premium students, we aim to help reduce the attainment gap at Key Stage 2, widen access to grammar schools, and set children up for success in Key Stage 3 and beyond.
Atom’s vast range of resources and tailored support will enable pupils to build their confidence, strengthen their skills, and prepare for the transition to secondary education with the best possible foundation.
