Pupil Premium

Enabling our children to benefit from residential opportunities and school trips as well as wider curriculum opportunities.

Early Years Pupil Premium end 2016. ( 3 children)

Our EYFS pupils were supported with the Early Years Pupil Premium allocation with carefully planned focus activities, dedicated speech and language support as well as some specific resources to support speaking and  listening.

This had a positive impact on attainment and progress for all Early Year Pupil Premium children as they attained age related expectations in 88% of the areas of learning, including rapid progress in language and communication areas of learning. Progress has been good for the children with 100% of the N2 children making at least expected progress. 47% of all areas of learning have N2 children making rapid progress from their starting points. Children making slower progress have individual planning around their learning needs and are tracked carefully to enable accelerated progress to close the gap.

KS1/KS2 Pupil Premium end 2016 (24 pupils)

Amount received: £38520

Our Pupil Premium children represented 5.7% of our school population and 38% of the Pupil Premium group were on our SEN register. We researched the most successful strategies to enable our children to close the gap (using the Sutton Trust EEF toolkit amongst others) and through tracking our pupils’ progress and attainment, as well as talking to staff, parents and children about their learning journeys, we made provision for accelerating progress in the following ways:

• We provided interventions with skilled, qualified staff, including Reading Intervention, First Class @ Number, Narrative Therapy and Inference sessions, as well as session to support social and emotional barriers to learning. We track the impact of these using the intervention tracking tools and these have been highly successful with children making rapid progress, especially in Reading.  (£4,008)
• We asked our Educational Psychologist to provide bespoke training for all staff so we know how to support children with emotional barriers to learning as well as providing 1:1 sessions with our Learning Mentors to build confidence and self- esteem. Our children told us they enjoy learning and are “getting better at trying hard things”
• We ran highly focus daily/weekly small groups for reading, writing and maths as well as extra phonics for those who need this. We used pre-teaching for some aspects of the curriculum as well as sending home support ideas- Parents told us that these are useful and helped them work in partnership with us to close the gaps. (£4.212)
• We offered lots of wider curriculum opportunities such as residential visits, school educational visits and out of school clubs. These motivated the children, built friendships and followed the children’s interests. (£530)
• We provided opportunities for our higher ability children to be stretched and challenged- we hold 2mad Science “days, and “Able Writers Workshops” with published authors sharing their inspirations and writing techniques. Our Pupil Premium children participating in these attained above age related expectations in reading and writing. (£96)
• We deployed additional staffing into EYFS and Year 1 to support all children’s progress and attainment and to give opportunities for highly focus groups to be effective in phonics and maths. (£29,483)

How successful were we at closing the gaps using the above strategies?
