- Barriers to future attainment (for pupils eligible for PP)
In-school barriers (issues to be addressed in school, such as poor literacy skills)
Quality of teaching and learning including behaviour management
LPA in English / Maths impacts use of literacy and numeracy across the curriculum
Revision, study and exam skills are not fully developed – low aspiration – parental engagement / support
External barriers (issues which also require action outside school, such as low attendance rates)
D. / Attendance of PPm students: 17% PA for PPm and 11% for Non-PPm (Y7-11) 13% overall
E. / Due to transport to and from school some PPm students have difficulties staying for after school intervention sessions or breakfast clubs
Desired outcomes and how they will be measured
Improved quality of teaching and learning
Better challenge, pace, questioning and feedback in lessons to promote increased outcomes.
Staff have a greater understanding of the impact of T&L on student outcomes and can use data more effectively to target specific focus groups e.g. Male, PPm students with HPA. Measured through PP data, lesson observations, book monitoring, target intervention attendance
Improved KS3 attainment and progress in English and maths
Proportion of PPm students achieving secure and greater depth similar to other students with similar starting points
Improved skills to access study, revision, exam
Students have the skills to improve their learning, retention and recall of information through the development of study, revision and examination skills and techniques
Improved attendance of PPm students
Attendance of PPm students compared to Non-PPm students in terms of overall attendance and persistence absence
Improved attendance at intervention sessions & improved parental engagement
Attendance of PPm students at morning or after school intervention sessions run by subject areas or workshops run by subjects for students and parents or workshops run by outside agencies for students and / or parents e.g. Elevate

Targeted Support:
Desired outcome / Chosen action / approach / What is the evidence and rationale for this choice? / How will you ensure it is implemented well? / When will you review implementation?
Improved attainment and progress achieved by PPm students by the end of Key Stage 4 / Purchase of revision guides / textbooks / Others who have benefited from having these to hand at home in the past / Discuss with LL placing order regarding how impact will be monitored – LL to discuss with student / Each PPm student has access to their own revision guide / textbook for subjects

Previous Academic Year / 2016-17
Summary of Key Actions 2016-17
- The profile of PPm was raised and all PPm and Looked AfterChildren students were known by their teachers. Teachers increasingly planned to remove barriers to assist the progress for PPM students
- All subject areas had specific action plans for raising the attainment of PPm students. Successful strategies were shared with subjects to develop teaching and learning. These included effective feedback both written and verbal, parental involvement (English), peer mentoring, 1 to 1 mentoring, improving exam technique, confidence and providing of specific learning resources such as revision guides and materials
- 1:1 provision in Maths for PPm students
There were 130 students in Year 11 with 27 PPm students contributing to the Progress 8 results.
In 2017 the overall Progress 8 was -0.5 (Non-PPm was -0.3 and PPm was -1.3 indicating a gap of -1.0).
- At KS4, some subjects saw PPm students attain higher than non-PPm students. These subjects include Biology, French, German, Health and Social Care, History, Science
- In 8 subjects the gap was smaller than the previous year. These subjects include English Language, Mathematics, Geography, PE, ICT and Chemistry
- In some cases, the number of PPm students in the subject was low and therefore changes are less significant
