2 Aims and Objectives of Spending the Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) The school mission statement is Aim to Achieve. To this end, the school tries to do everything it can to meet the needs of all children in our care and to support them to achieve their potential. However, the school receives some government funding, which is targeted at specific groups within our community and is intended to narrow the gap between more advantaged and disadvantaged children. This payment relates to deprivation and vulnerability and is aimed at children who have had free school meals in the last 6 years, children in care or adopted children and there is also funding for service children up until 4 years after the period of service has ended. To this end, members of staff have undertaken additional training and some children are in receipt of targeted interventions and different types of support both curricular and extra-curricular. Type of Support To be Provided by PPG This year the money will be used to fund: Small group/ individual interventions and targeted support ECAR sessions (Every Child a Reader and writer) ECC sessions (Every Child Counts) ELSA sessions (Emotional Literacy Support) Purchase of resources (e.g. for the programmes above) Homework club Breakfast club Subsidised school visits, residential trips and clubs, funded holiday club places and discounted or free seats e.g. for circus Administration and Staff training Paired maths project The offer of family support on an individual basis from a cluster Family Support Worker

4 Impact of PPG on Children and Standards of Attainment Support with Learning In addition to class teaching and interventions delivered by fully trained Teaching Assistants, senior, experienced teachers have worked alongside targeted groups and individuals on the pupil premium register to accelerate their progress. Good progress has been made by nearly all pupil premium children in KS1 and nearly all (92%) are meeting expectations for their age. The ECAR programme (Every Child a reader) and the ECC programme (Every Child Counts), have been offered to children on a needs basis. During the last year, 2 children participated in the ECAR programme and both made a level or more of progress to achieve above average expectations for their age in reading and another 2 children participated in the ECC programme, one of whom made more than a level of progress. Some children also benefitted from other interventions run by Teaching Assistants, such as the Early Literacy Scheme (ELS), the British Reading Programme, regular 1:1 reading with an adult and small maths and handwriting focus groups, which have resulted in positive outcomes, good progress and increased confidence. By the end of KS2, 5 out of 6 pupil premium children (83%) achieved well in reading and writing and 66% in maths. One child only missed the pass mark by 1 mark, without which it would have been 83% in maths, as well. Many of these children benefited from booster groups run by the Deputy Headteacher, working alongside the classteacher. Across KS2 the picture is more variable, but targeted interventions have been put in place to address the needs of pupil premium children who are not working at age related expectations, or for whom progress is slower. Interventions have included Precision Teaching, small maths groups, creative writing, handwriting and spelling focus groups, Letters and Sounds phonics tuition groups and 1:1 reading with an adult. Although some pupil premium children complete their homework regularly, on time and to a satisfactory standard or better, others do not, or have little support at home. For this reason a Homework club was set up, supervised by senior staff, to ensure that all KS2 pupil premium children have a regular opportunity to complete their homework with adult support where necessary. In , the club ran during the Autumn and Spring Terms. Parental Involvement Parents were encouraged through formal and informal discussion to become more involved in the children s learning and to ensure regular attendance at school. We were very pleased that 100% of parents attended parents meetings or met with teachers in the Autumn and Spring Terms of 2014 and 2015 respectively. Informal meetings have also taken place with a number of parents on matters relating to provision for individual children..

5 The paired maths scheme, was administered by the SENCo, but completed at home with parents. The SENCo received positive feedback from participating families and it fostered good partnership between parents, pupils and the school. Absence and Lateness In the academic year attendance for Pupil Premium children was 95.43, compared to for non pupil premium children. This an improvement on the previous year when the average attendance for pupil premium children was 94% compared to 97.4% for non pupil premium children. Measures are in place to combat absence and this continues to be an area of focus. Lateness before the close of register was higher amongst pupil premium children at 0.72% compared to 0.16% for non-pupil premium children. At the end of the academic year, parents were informed that an even more vigorous approach would be adopted to tackle absence and lateness from the Autumn Term Emotional and social support Some pupil premium children have benefited from social or emotional support from our Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA) and this has had a positive impact in helping children with specific, identified needs, resulting in greater self-confidence and improved social skills. The ELSA has also worked alongside other school staff and the secondary schools to support secondary transition for vulnerable children and to make this process easier for them. Some pupil premium children have benefited from subsidised clubs, trips or free tickets to local events, such as holiday clubs or the circus, so that they have not been excluded from this type of activity for financial reasons.
