Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium Report to Governors April 2015-2016

Overview

The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011, and paid by means of a specific grant based on school census figures for pupils registered as eligible for FSM in Reception to Year Eleven. For Looked After Children, the Pupil Premium was calculated using the Children Looked After data returns (SSDA903). The Pupil Premium is additional to main school funding and it will be used by this school to address any underlying inequalities between children eligible by ensuring that funding reaches the pupils who need it most.
OBJECTIVES

The Pupil Premium will be used to provide additional educational support to improve the progress and to raise the standard of achievement for these pupils.
The funding will be used to narrow and close the gap between the achievement of these pupils and their peers.
As far as its powers allow the school will use the additional funding to address any underlying inequalities between children eligible for Pupil Premium and others.
We will ensure that additional funding reaches the pupils who need it most and that it makes a significant impact on their education and lives.

STRATEGIES

Pupil Premium will be clearly identifiable within the budget.
The headteacher in consultation with the governors and staff, will decide how the Pupil Premium is spent for the benefit of entitled pupils.
The school will assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils.
The school will be accountale for how it has used the additional funding to support the achievement of those pupils covered by the Pupil Premium and the headteacher will report to the governing body and parents on how effective the intervention has been in achieving its aims.
From September 2012, we will publish online information about how we have used the Premium.
We will ensure that parents, governors and others are made fully aware of the attainment of pupils covered by the Premium.
We will seek to further develop strategies put into place through the funding to ensure that we can show the value that has been added to the education of the entitled children.
We will monitor, evaluate and review the success of the impact of the pupil premium funding.

OUTCOMES

This Policy will play an important part in the educational development of the individual pupils who are entitled to the Pupil Premium.
We will ensure that these pupils are treated equally and as favourably as others and that the additional funding is used well to address the challenges they face.
The school will use the additional funding to promote the achievement and progress of all entitled pupils.
Through wise use of this additional funding we are fully committed to ensuring that the individual needs of each entitled child are met.
As a result of the additional funding, these children will make better progress and achieve higher standards that would have been unlikely without it.

 3.      Barriers to future attainment (for pupils eligible for PP)

 In-school barriers (issues to be addressed in school, such as poor oral language skills)

 A.

42% of the 2015/2016 cohort achieved Expected or above in the 2016 KS2 SATs.   Reading has been identified as a target for the whole school and more pupils in Y6 need to achieve Expected in the 2017 KS2 SATs.

B.

42% of the 2015/2016 cohort achieved Expected or above in the 2016 KS2 SATs for Reading. The Combined score was 38.5%. We need to ensure that pupils achieve Expected in all 3 areas, and that this is targeted by teachers and the SLT in all age groups throughout the school, not just in Y6.

C.

A number of pupils eligible for PP also have complex SEN/D (4 pupils in 2016-2017)

D.

Parental involvement in EYFS meetings on Reading, phonics and homework poorly attended. Some PP pupils are not read with regularly by parents.

 

External barriers (issues which also require action outside school, such as low attendance rates)

E.

Some pupils eligible for pupil premium have persistent attendance problems.

F.

Some pupils eligible for pupil premium cannot afford to pay for school trips and do not experience a range of enrichment experiences outside school.

G.

There is high mobility in the school and pupils who are in the school from N/R to Y6 are in the minority. Many pupils arrive in Years 4-6. There is a high number of EAL pupils in this group or pupils with higher KS1 SATs results than their abilities would warrant.

4.      Desired outcomes (desired outcomes and how they will be measured)

Success criteria

A.

Progress for pupils eligible for PP in all year groups make the required 6 STEPs of expected progress in Reading, with some targeted for 7 STEPs of progress (identified at pupil Progress Meetings Autumn 1). Whole school target for Reading linked to Teachers’ and TAs’ PM targets

See individual cohort targets set at Autumn 1 Pupil Progress Meetings.

 B.

More pupils achieve Expected in RWM Combined in Year 6. Pupils with the potential to achieve will be identified and given additional tuition to achieve Expected by end of year.

Across Year 6 of the 10 PP pupils 7 will achieve Expected in Reading, 7 in Writing and 7 in Maths.

 C.

Pupils with SEN/D make at least Expected progress in reading, writing and maths by the end of year.

See individual cohort targets set at Autumn 1 Pupil Progress Meetings.

 D.

Good Level of Development in Reception at end of year for Reading, Writing and Number to be at least 65%.

GD to be at least 65% in these specific areas in 2017.

 E.

Persistent absence attendance gap between pupils eligible for PP and other pupils to have closed by end of year. The School Attendance Officer visits school weekly.

0.7% gap has closed completely. SAO can show impact of meetings with parents and head teacher.

 F.

PP eligible pupils experience a wide range of enrichment activities.

Pupils experience residential holiday (Years 5 and 6) and school trips. There are enrichment activities in school and after school.
