Proposed spending of PPG

Objectives in spending PPG:

Our key objective in using the Pupil Premium Grant is to close the attainment gap between children entitled to this funding and those who are not. As a school we aim to ensure that children make at least good progress throughout each school year. Through a range of support and targeted interventions, we are working to eliminate barriers to learning and progress. Many of our children start school with very low attainment on entry and our aim is to ensure that they make accelerated progress in order to reach age related expectations + as they move through the school. As a school, we understand that not all socially disadvantaged children will be eligible for this funding e.g. those without recourse to public funds and we reserve the right to allocate pupil premium funding to those children we identify as socially disadvantaged. 83.5% of our children are in the top 20% of social deprivation. 94.6% are in the top 40%.

Summary of proposed spending:

Develop children’s skills and support those who need extra support through both group and individual 1-1 support to ensure no child is left out of any activity or school trip or after school club and enhance home school learning through parent workshops. To equip every child with a new school uniform so that all children start the school year on an equitable basis. Improving our children’s vocabulary has been a key feature of teaching and learning across all subjects this year as a cross phase challenge as we have identified differences in vocabulary between various groups which is evident in our youngest children when they join us in Reception. This will continue to be a target for us.

Outcomes:

We measure the impact of this spending in a number of ways - on progress and attainment through our rigorous assessment and tracking procedures. We meet teachers every half term to discuss all children and our data is analysed on a termly basis. We also look at other measures such as behaviour, attendance, wellbeing and attitude which are more challenging to quantify but important nonetheless.

GLD data:

These statistics are based on only five children within the cohort entitled to this funding in our Reception year. The low baseline scores of these children meant that they were targeted from the outset as they all had very low baseline scores in core subject areas. They would need to make accelerated progress from the outset. Additional support was put in place, particularly with SALT. 80% of these five children were EAL learners, speaking Albanian, French, Swahili and Amharic at home. 40% were also on the SEND register and receiving additional support with their reading, writing and maths – number in particular. Children not read with at home were given additional reading support in school. Their parents/carers were also offered extra workshop opportunities to further support their children at home with phonics and reading, writing and maths. The progress that these children made over the year was super. From low and exceptionally love baseline scores, they all made at least expected progress and 60% of them made accelerated progress across the year.

Phonics Screening Check data: The numbers speak for themselves! 100% of the children entitled to this funding achieved at least a minimum pass score of 32 out of a possible 40. Out of the nine children entitled to this funding stream, 78% of them achieved a score in excess of 37. All of these children attended free after school Phonics Club sessions during the spring and summer terms and where necessary, received extra support in their classrooms on a daily basis.

Year 2 retakes:

67% of the children retaking the check achieved a pass mark. This is two out of the three children who had not achieved the standard in Year 1.
