Detail ofuse of PPG in 2017/2018
  • One to one and small group support works well in the current format so this will continue, Headteacher meets regularly with staff to ensure this is targeted in the right way.
  • We are continuing to target specialist support for a group in Year 6 with complex needs and pupils in Year 5 and 3 with complex needs. These are predominately Pupil Premium Pupils who are receiving or have received multiagency support e.g. social care,TFST and early intervention (YOT), SEN team.
  • Year Five and Sixattend residential in September and other classes have opportunities for trips and visits. This is expensive for families on low incomes, the enrichment budget helps us subsidise trips and residential for those families.
  • Class four and class five free guitar tuition, giving poorer families access to musical tuition.
  • Our literacy volunteer does 1:1 reading with targeted pupils, most of the children in this group are PP pupils.
  • A small fund is available to help families access school clubs and breakfast club for which other parents pay fees
  • Analysis of absence shows that PPI pupils have higher levels of absence than other pupils so extra admin support has been put in place to monitor and support the response to improving attendance for this group.

Impact in 2016/2017
  • Across school, 71% PP children made expected progress in at least one subject RWM. 20% made accelerated progress. 17% achieved GDS in at least one subject
  • One to one and small group support from TAs helped children who receive pupil premium make progress.
  • Children in Year 5 and a child in Year 2 with complex emotional difficulties benefitted from extra support, in all cases behaviour improved allowing pupils to access the curriculum and make progress.
  • PP children from Year Five and Year Six were able to attend residential because the visit was subsidised.Class budgets for visits and visitors have reduced the costs to all families and allowed us to further reduce the cost for Pupil premium families (free for families on benefits).
  • Attendance for PPI pupils was 95.59% (Non-pupil premium is 96.96). One family prosecuted.
  • We have also supported PP pupils who wished to attend breakfast club.
  • Allchildren in Y4 and Y5 are now able to access musical instrument tuition.
