STATEMENT OF INTENT.

• All members of staff, governors and teaching assistants accept responsibility for ‘socially disadvantaged’ pupils and are committed to meeting their pastoral, social and academic needs within the school environment. Careful consideration of Pupil Premium funding is one aspect of this.
• When making decisions about using Pupil Premium funding it is important to consider the context of our school and the subsequent challenges faced. This is considered alongside research conducted by the EEF.
• Pupil Premium funding helps remove barriers to learning so that all our pupils reach their full potential and enables them to fully engage in our curriculum and school life. The governors reserve the right to allocate the pupil premium funding to support any pupils or groups of pupils the school has legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged.

PRINCIPLES & AIMS

We are committed  :

• To narrow the attainment gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged pupils both nationally and within school data.
• To accelerate progress of all  disadvantaged pupils in school to exceed nationally expected progress rates to reach age related expectation
• To address the barriers of social, emotional and mental health needs which impact on learning, behaviour, confidence and resilience
• To address the barriers of low attendance, punctuality and disrupted education amongst PPG pupils
• To broaden experiences and improve access to learning opportunities and resources including books, trips and workshops to increase cultural capital.
• To  increase levels of parental engagement   by endeavouring to confidence,  language and economic barriers
• To  increase parental knowledge of the curriculum to enable parents to support their children

Challenge number

Detail of challenge

1

Economic deprivation: Many families live in overcrowded, temporary housing which results in a lack of space and resources to study at home and/or play safely outside. Families have been adversely impacted by the pandemic including loss of school learning time, employment and networks of support.

2

 Literacy and communication skills which have been impacted further by a loss of learning time due to school and class closures.   This includes the attainment of pupil premium pupils entering the school from March 2020.

3

Restricted opportunities for a breadth of cultural and shared British cultural experiences. Cost, experience and language act as barriers which   impede our children’s opportunities to access broader social and educational activities.

4

 The high percentage of pupils who  have English as a second language along with high mobility of pupils including  the arrival of pupils new to the country from March 2020  has impacted on pupil progress and attainment.

5

   Some children have been adversely affected by the pandemic, including children who qualify for PP which has impacted on their physical, social, emotional and mental wellbeing. (high percentage of child obesity)

Intended outcome

Success criteria

Progress in Reading- pupils make at least expected progress from their KS1 starting points. Progress is positive across all year groups 

 Pupils can read with fluency and prosody which impacts on their level of comprehension and stamina for reading .Pupils written and verbal vocabulary has increased to impact on their comprehension level when reading. Pupils achieve national average progress scores in KS2 Reading, across all groups of children including PP children.  

Progress in Writing- pupils make at least expected progress from their key stage 1 starting points. Progress is positive across all year groups.

 Pupil’s cohesion in writing is supported through their ability to write effective sentences to build meaning.

Pupils use editing and proofreading to good effect to check their learning.

Progress in Mathematics

 The teaching of problem solving and reasoning through the white Rose programme .The use of key visuals and resources to support mathematical understanding .Pupils achieve national average progress scores in KS2 Mathematics, across all groups of children including PP children.  

Phonics - Year 1 and Year 2 phonics scores for all children including pupil’s premium pupils is in line or above national average. 

90% of pupils achieve 32+ in summer 2022 and 95% of Year 2 pupils in Autumn 2021.

EYFS- pupils a make good progress across all prime areas including  communication and language and social skills

 Bespoke linguistic programmes lead to an increase in progress in communication and language for pupil premium children. Pupils develop the necessary social skills which impact on learning and learning behaviours.  Attainment for Pupil premium pupils in EYFS is in line with the national average in terms of GLD  

 Supporting Families  impacted  as result of Covid 19

Attendance of disadvantaged pupils is above 95%. Families and pupils feel well supported and are signposted where to access support. Closing the gaps in learning has led to accelerated progress and has impacted on attainment. Pupil’s physical well-being (particularly disadvantaged pupils) improved through exercise.

Part B: Review of outcomes in the previous academic year

Pupil premium strategy outcomes

Our intention is that all pupils, irrespective of their background or the challenges they face, make good progress and achieve high attainment across all subject areas. The focus of our pupil premium strategy is to support disadvantaged pupils to achieve that goal alongside vulnerable pupils regardless of whether they are disadvantaged or not.

Typically over time our pupil premium pupils perform in line with non-pupil premium children. In classes or year groups were this is the case; pupils have been identified as being new to English or having a learning need (SEND).  In classes and year groups where this is not the case, and pupils have not been identified as SEND or new to English, pupils are targeted for specific and additional learning support.

The impact was mitigated through the school led tutoring scheme and  developing the quality of teaching across the school through bespoke CPD. This enabled groups of pupils to reach the expected standard. This will continue be embedded as stated in this plan. School led tutoring and targeted support will continue as interventions to accelerate progress and attainment. Programmes such as the Nuffield Early Literacy strategy have supported the development of early Literacy skills in EYFS and has reduced the gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged pupils. We are continuing to embed and develop Literacy skills in this plan.

Through a whole school approach of  regular meetings, book looks and professional feedback meetings we continue to reduce the attainment gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged pupils so that all pupil premium pupils reach age related expectations across all subjects.

We have continued to ensure through our school approach that all pupils regularly attend school. We quickly action any concerns linked to attendance with a planned approach to maintain regular attendance and will continue with the approach.

Our assessments and observations showed that the focus on PSHE and well-being when the children returned to school in September 2021 supported pupil’s well-being and mental health.  Routines were quickly established which supported behaviour. Where necessary, pupils who struggled with well-being or found it difficult to adapt back into school participated in targeted interventions and social groups. We are continuing to ensure that the children’s social, and mental wellbeing is supported through the activities within this plan.
