1 Weston Hills CofE Primary School Pupil Premium Grant Expenditure Statement to Parents Pupil Premium At Weston Hills CofE Primary School we support all our pupils. We do this by providing high quality classroom teaching, supplemented by interventions to support vulnerable learners as and when required. The School Leadership Team and Governing Body monitor the impact of all spending and interventions, including the Pupil Premium. We endeavour to encourage parents and carers to apply for free school meals where pride, stigma or changing circumstances act as barriers to its take-up. Key Facts The Pupil Premium is allocated to children from families who are currently known to be eligible for FSM in both mainstream and non-mainstream settings and children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months. The Government has decided that eligibility for the Pupil Premium in will be extended to pupils who have been eligible for FSM at any point in the last 6 years. The reason for this is that, as a group, children who have been eligible for FSM at any point in time have consistently lower educational attainment than those who have never been eligible for FSM.

All hit or exceeded their targets in Reading, two in Writing and one in Numeracy. Numeracy will be a focus for continued support. Year 1 The Year 1 pupil was part of Precision Teaching and Phonics Intervention, receiving additional TA support in a small group and 1:1. Targets were exceeded in Reading, Writing and Numeracy. Year 3 There were 4 children in this cohort; one also received support from Head of Pastoral care and outside agencies. Three out of the four on track in reading, only one in writing and all on track in numeracy. Intervention programmes and additional support in class has enabled these children to close the gap in their learning. Year 4 The one pupil received Precision Teaching daily, part of numerous Intervention Programmes including Clued Up Spellings with adult support. This child made excellent progress exceeding targets set in reading and writing and on track in numeracy to make two or more levels progress by the end of KS2.

Year 6 One pupil received Precision Teaching daily throughout the year with 1:1 support. Numeracy overcoming barriers (4 times a week). Intervention in a small group with adult support.

We now use a dyslexia screening programme on children that show signs of dyslexia. This then identifies children for further assessments for STAPS. This allows the children to get the support and resources they need. Resources, e.g. Timers, ICT Programme, have been purchased to help support learning. Using STAPS enables early identification of any learning issues and identifies the additional support needed. 11 out of 16 pupils regularly use breakfast club before the start of the school day. Dyslexia Training sessions for all staff have enabled us to identify children early and to ensure teaching and learning activities are appropriate. All our children with Dyslexia have made progress throughout the year. The Pupil Premium has been targeted to ensure FSM children receive the additional support they may need to ensure they achieve or exceed National Expectations at the end of each Key Stage.
