Pupil Premium Grant Spending decisions at Hillside
Autumn 2015 - Summer 2016
Aims of Pupil Premium Grant Spending / Rationale (Evidence)
- To ensure pupil premium children continue to achieve above National Average as measured by ‘Expected and Better than Expected Progress’ at the end of Key Stage 2.
- To narrow the attainment gap between pupil premium and non-pupil premium children in all year groups, focussing on both groups performing inline or better than National Average.
- To provide enrichment so as to widen and deepen the life experiences of pupil premium children and impact positively on the quality of their teaching and learning.
- To provide a safe, secure, inclusive environment that allows all children to reach their academic and personal potential by removing any social, economic and academic barriers to learning.
- To support the families of pupil premium children, raising expectations and aspirations, knowledge and understanding of the educative system so that parents are more confident in helping their children achieve their full potential.
- To ensure the attendance of pupil premium children continues to at least meet national expectations; children are supported to understand the importance of good attendance and punctuality as a life skill.
- Evidence from DFE report(Feb 2015)links absence and attainment at KS2. Children with no absence are 1.6 times more likely to achieve Level 4 or above and 4.7 times more likely to achieve Level 5 or above than children who missed 15%-20% of all sessions.
- Evidence from Education and Endowment Foundation indicates that social and emotional learning interventions have an identifiable and significant impact on attitudes to learning, social relationships and attainment (average 4 months additional progress)
- Education and Endowment Foundation states that studies of oral language interventions consistently show positive benefits on learning. On average children who have oral language interventions make 5 months additional progress over a year.
- Ofsted guide, ‘Pupil Premium’ (Jan 2013) identified the value of support given to ensure all children have full access to broad educational experiences such as residential course, competing in sporting events etc.
