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

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. This also results in disrupted education. Pupils and their families may have social, emotional and mental health difficulties.

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 cost of living 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 and SEND 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 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.  

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

90% of Yr. 1 pupils and 95% of Year 2 pupils achieve 32+ in summer 2024

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 .Introduction of the white rose scheme into numeracy in reception.

 Supporting Families impacted from the  rise in the  cost of living.

Attendance of disadvantaged pupils is 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.
