Pupil Premium at Burlington Junior School September 2015 Contents 1. Overview of Pupil Premium Grant. 2. Pupil Premium funding and spending. 3. Breakdown of expenditure 2014-2015. 4. Impact of spending 2014-2015. 5. Future spending 2015-2016 Overview Pupil Premium is a grant allocated to schools to support socially disadvantaged pupils. Pupil Premium is not allocated to individual students. It is not an individual entitlement. The school has the responsibility for allocating the Pupil Premium funding to support pupils or of pupils legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged. We have to set our own criteria for how the money is best allocated in order to meet the needs of the greatest number of disadvantaged pupils. At Burlington this funding will be allocated to ensure that children in this group reach their full potential academically, personally and socially. We look at the needs of individual pupils. This may be a creative or sports club opportunity that will raise selfesteem and allow the pupil to have the same experiences as their peers. Where funding is allocated to an intervention it may be that some have a mixture of pupils entitled to Pupil Premium Grant and non PPG pupils. All our work through the Pupil Premium will be aimed at accelerating progress, moving children to at least age related expectations. We also aim to develop the children s life chances so trips, clubs and uniform will also be included as part of our Pupil Premium spending. Pupil Premium 2014-15 In 2012-13 the Pupil Premium indicator of need was widened to include any pupil who had been eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years (known as the Ever 6 FSM measure). In 2014-2015 Burlington Junior School received 119,600 Pupil Premium Grant plus 1900 for one LAC pupil. This table provides a summary of the intervention and support strategies that were used to support disadvantaged students. 1

The additional Teaching Assistants (TAs) time for phonics, in-class support and intervention impacts significantly across the school ensuring these pupils needs are effectively met. This is evidenced by the majority of Year 4 pupils no longer needing phonic support through the Read Write Inc programme. Phonics will remain a focus in 2015-2016, especially in Years 3 and 4. The running of chefs club, mathletics, homework and lunch games clubs has enabled these children to take part in more structured activities during break and lunch times. Burlington Junior School will receive 135,960 for Pupil Premium Grant for the financial year 2015/16. This is based upon 103 pupils, recorded on the January 2015 census in receipt of FSM. 3

The school plans to continue with the programmes and support already detailed in this document. The priority will be to ensure that the funding is used to raise academic achievement for pupils eligible for Pupil Premium. We will continue to employ additional teachers to support FSM/Ever 6 pupils either one to one or in 2s or 3s throughout the school, particularly in writing. They will also release teachers to conference pupils and discuss next steps in their learning. Children in Years 5 and 6 will continue to be taught in smaller for maths and in Year 6 an additional teacher will take a small group for literacy. This will ensure that pupils are receiving direct feedback and focus on individual needs and targets. Booster for FSM/Ever6 will commence in the spring term in preparation for the SATs. The Pupil Premium plan will be carefully monitored and regularly reviewed by staff and governors. 5
