This is very interesting. But as an American I'm unfamiliar with the concept of "pupil premium status". Intuitively, I would guess that would mean students who are doing well, but reading your post it seems to me that these are actually students who need more help. It would be useful if you could explain what "pupil premium status" really means.
I really like these posts, because they indicate what's actually going on in the real world, rather than what's supposed to happen. Keep them coming!
Sorry for the Anglicism! The pupil premium grant is funding to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in state-funded schools in England. So pupils who attract this funding are considered to require more help.
