Monitoring and measuring the impact of PPG spending
The school will evaluate the impact on each pupil on a half termly basis through the use of our assessment system. Evaluation will focus on academic gains and how pupils’ self-confidence has developed as a consequence of the interventions put in place. Measurement of impact for the children accessing external support will be assessed through the use of Personal Education Plans, FCAF and Reviews.
