How could we use the pupil premium?

With my red hat, I'd like to run, or see running, homework clubs, focusing on study skills, these could use the facilities we have at SGS more intensively.  Even allocating the funds for 3-4 students would be sufficient if we allowed the same adaptability to the school day that colleagues put in for diploma.  Also, why not let staff start later if they finish later?

Many of us would appreciate the opportunity for different hours to fit more flexibly around the obligations for care we have, whether that's our kids, or other family members.

Study skills, according to John Hattie, could boost grades by a grade and a half at GCSE (in the most disaffected students) - that's more than self assessment and peer assessment, with one grade each.

What would it need?  (White hat!)

• Well, we need to collate subject specific study skills, and share these more explicitly with the students and whomsoever is delivering study skills. 
• We then need tofocus the students on the study skills that are shown to work with the weakest students - that's graphic organisers.
• We need to encourage relationships with parents of disaffected students, this could be through the PTA and then through the VFT, or learning supporter.

If I put my black hat on for a moment, I would have to doubt that the Tories are going to come up with the money, but still, if they did.....

Does this suggestion, have to imply increased funding?  Currently I could start an hour later on two days a cycle - my timetable permits this, other factors may prevent it but that's about how willingly such a situation could be tried!
