We have developed the use of the funding alongside main school funding to diminish the differences in attainment. Funding is targeted and focused to ensure that our disadvantaged students improve their academic outcomes and that their achievement is in line with National standards and with those of all students within the school. Based on research from the Education Endowment Report we have directed the funds towards the most effective interventions. We have strategically identified the needs of individual students (their preferences and barriers to learning), evidenced by the increased provision in the year 2016-17.
Additional Provision for Pupil Premium Students identified as SEND
A total of 59 pupil premium students were identified as SEND in the academic year 2016-17. Pupil premium funding is used to support these students through intense intervention programmes

2017-18 Priorities
Desired outcomes and how they will be measured / Success criteria
Students eligible for PP in Year 7 to make at least expected progress in English and Maths / 90% of Students eligible for PP in Year 7 to make expected progress to meet their end of year predictions.
To diminish the difference in achievement outcomes at GCSE in English and Maths for students eligible for PP / Students eligible for PP in Year 11 to achieve Maths and English GCSEs in line with non PP students
To close the overall progress 8 and attainment 8 gap between PP and non PP students / Positive progress gap score for all year groups, with particular focus on Year 11. Increase in overall A8 score for PP students
Improved attendance rate of LAC students / Absent rate to be in line with the national rate of 4.8%
Enhanced student engagement including involvement in extra-curricular activities and learning opportunities outside of the classroom. / The percentage of PP students with behaviour incidents/fixed term exclusions continues to fall and is below that of students who are non PP. PP attendance to extra-curricular activities, intervention sessions and learning opportunities increases
Lack of access to educational resources such as the internet, books and study equipment / 100% of PP students have access to the materials they need in order to be able to fully access the curriculum.
Proposed Action
Desired outcome / Chosen action/approach / What is the evidence and rationale for this choice?A. Students eligible for PP in Year 7 to make at least expected progress in English Maths / Develop high quality literacy and numeracy provision, part funding the employment of AHTs in English and maths.
Accelerated reading programme will be purchased and employed
NGRT screening, CATS testing, TALC 2 testing and Data-Pac materials used for early identification of PP students with barriers to learning
Targeted intervention through Ruth Miskin and Numeracy Catch-up programmes for all PP students identified as below expectation/SEND / In Year 7, 59 students were below the threshold for reading and/or maths. 22 of these students are pupil premium
Of the 45 students identified as pupil premium in Year 7, half achieved below the expected standard for reading and/or maths. 19 students were below in reading, 12 in maths with 1/5 of Year 7 pupil premium students below in both.
Higher literacy and numeracy content of new specifications means there is an increased need to bridge the gap and ensure high achievement of all
Research shows that early intervention to reduce the literacy and numeracy gap has a significant impact on overall achievement in future years. For PP students who do not have such readily available access to literary materials, in school resources and support are crucial
- To diminish the difference in achievement outcomes at GCSE in English and Maths for students eligible for PP
Small group, targeted sessions for identified PP students within English and maths who are underachieving
KS4 revision material available without cost.
TA deployed to specific classrooms to ensure specific support to underachieving PP students
Maintain staffing levels to facilitate smaller classes in core subjects
Development of LSU to incorporate students in all year groups who are identified as underachieving PP
Ongoing targeted intervention literacy and numeracy intervention for PP students identified as SEND / Students from low income households are less likely to receive private tuition, with a figure of 18% compared to 35% in high income households (Education Endowment Foundation)
Of the 26 students who were below expected KS2 reading scores, 50% are pupil premium
There are 31 students in Year 8 who did not meet the expected threshold for reading and maths in KS2. Of these students 15 are pupil premium.
Direct funding ensures that PP students do not face barriers to their learning due to financial restrictions.
- To diminish the overall difference in progress 8 and attainment 8 between PP and non PP students.
Whole school CPD focusing on understanding data and how to use this to raise the achievement of all PP students, including those of lower, middle and higher ability
Stretch and challenge materials to be purchased and utilised to target high ability PP students
Establishment of whole school homework club after school with library and computer access
Continuation of lunch time homework club within the IT faculty to allow access to computer/online educational resources
Opening of library at lunch times
CtG meetings with all Heads of Year to ensure strategy planning for PP students
Provision of revision materials at no cost
Enhance access to cultural enrichment subjects such as Music, Drama, high quality literature
Free Music tuition lessons
Exam access assessments completed for all PP students who are identified as SEND / Research shows that quality feedback can add as much as 8 months progress to learners, at minimal cost
Targeting of strategy should be based on disadvantage not prior attainment. It is important to target all pupil premium students who are falling behind whatever their prior ability
Studies by the Education Endowment Foundation show that students from low income households are significantly less likely to have support with homework tasks
Access to educational resources will facilitate the learning of those students who do not have such resources at home
The progress 8 gap for students in Year 11 (exam cohort 2016-17) was -0.49.
In school data shows that whilst students in Year 7 and 8 have a positive progress gap for English and maths, in later years the gap is negative.
The pupil premium progress gap is notably highest in subjects that require greater access to educational resources such as computers, musical instruments, the theatre and high quality literature
- Improved attendance rates of LAC students
Whole school CPD on the social and emotional issues faced by LAC students
Year 6 – 7/in school admissions - targeted transition work via learning mentor and EAL provision
Development of buddying system
Breakfast club
Targeted intervention and support through PEP meetings
TA support within the EAL provision and expansion of staffing to facilitate support students with learning and personal development
Aspiration walls for all year groups and development of school alumni
Targeted one to one career’s advice for LAC students / DFE study in 2011 highlighted the range of factors that contributed to low attendance rates amongst LAC students, ranging from underlying social and personal issues, low self-esteem and economic circumstances to stability issues and attitudes to education in the home environment prior to care
Research indicates that few teachers have received specific training on meeting the needs of LAC students
Research also shows that transition from Primary to Secondary school is particularly challenging for Looked After Children who require greater consistency and stability
Absence rates in 2016-17 were significantly higher for LAC students than they were in the previous year, with percentages of 7.3% compared to 4.6%
The number of LAC students on roll has risen from 5 students in 2015-16 to 19 students in 2016-17
- Enhanced student engagement of PP students including involvement in extra-curricular activities and learning opportunities outside of the classroom..
Relative inclusion of PP students on school council to ensure high level of involvement in whole school development / Student voice is an empowering tool for students with PP and enables them to contribute to whole school development.
This increases their engagement and buy in
Increased use of student voice to determine extra curricular provision that links directly to student need / Student involvement in the selection of extra curricular activities will ensure increased student buy in
Mapping extra curricular provision to identified need will ensure that it supports learning and progress more effectively
