Pupil premium strategy statement

This statement details Tudor Primary Schools use of pupil premium (and  the catch up recovery premium for the 2022 to 2023 academic year) funding to help improve the attainment of our disadvantaged pupils. This has been updated after reviewing funding for the academic year 2022-2023 and the review from 2021-2022.

Part A: Pupil premium strategy plan

Statement of intent

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
    • To address the barriers of low attendance, punctuality and disrupted education amongst PPG pupils
    • To promote pupil wellbeing by developing emotional literacy and self-regulation. . This will enable pupils to enhance learning behaviours including resilience, problem solving, concentration, collaboration, communication and confidence.
    • To ensure all children have good attendance which is above 96%.

     

    HOW WE AIM TO  ACHIEVE OUR  OBJECTIVES :

    • Ensure Quality First Teaching , training, monitoring and support  for staff across the school
    • Targeted small group work in class focused on overcoming gaps in learning
    • Additional Booster sessions
    • Additional tutoring  & learning opportunities delivered by  qualified staff or trained LSAs to provide 1:1 or 1:3 sessions
    • Providing access to resources and opportunities to overcome barriers e.g. books, devices, data, educational learning platforms and resources, workshops, school visitors, trips etc.
    • Activity Clubs run by internal staff and external agencies to support physical and social development.
    • Promoting  the active engagement and participation of pupils with additional needs in  external activities and   opportunities 
    • Behaviour and Nurture support during lunchtime through play provision provided by external specialist agencies and internal staff.
    • Supporting good mental and emotional health through the provision of professionally and experienced qualified staff e.g.), Play Therapy, Mental Health Support Project etc.
    • Encouraging and enabling parents to confidently engage with their child’s education by overcoming barriers of language, confidence and awareness.
    Targeting persistent absenteeism to improve pupil attendance.

     

     

    Challenges

    This details the key challenges to achievement that we have identified among our disadvantaged pupils.

    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. Pupils and their families may have social, emotional and mental health difficulties. Many families are experiencing hardship due to the increase in the cost of living.

    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. Assessment shows that most pupils enter school with poor oral language skills- well below the expected standard for their age upon entry to Nursery and Reception class.

    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) Assessment shows that the gap between disadvantaged pupils and others widened following school closures and disruptions.

     

     

    Intended outcomes:

    This explains the outcomes we are aiming for by the end of our current strategy plan, and how we will measure whether they have been achieved.

    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 and SEND children.    

     

    Progress in Writing- pupils make at least expected progress from their key stage 1 starting points.

Pupils can apply key writing skills and use vocabulary effectively including technical and academic language across the curriculum within their writing. Pupils use editing and proofreading to good effect to check their learning.
    Progress in speaking and listening  through the development   of  oracy skills

     Through the voice 21 programme pupils will develop confidence in speaking and are able to communicate effectively with others.  This will also enable them to become active listeners during discussion work. This will support progress across the curriculum.

     

    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.

    EYFS- pupils a make good progress across all prime areas including  communication and language and social skillsBespoke 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.Introduction of the white rose scheme into numeracy in reception.
    Supporting Families impacted from the pandemic and rise in cost of living.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.
