Pupil Premium Strategy

2020-2021 Overview

The Pupil Premium (PP) is designed to ensure that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most. The funding is allocated to Local Authorities and schools with pupils from Reception to Y11 who are eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last six years, are looked after or adopted.

The total amount allocated to the school for the financial year 2020 to 2021 is £63, 455 (inc £1240 service premium).

The key barriers to future attainment for our children are:

Quality of strategic leadership to ensure the achievement of pupil premium within their learning and social and emotional development
Some pupils are not working at an age related level and have conceptual gaps or misconceptions
Some pupils have limited speech and language skills which can impact upon learning to read and write
In some cases social and emotional issues affect learning behaviours that support independent learning and resilience
Reading, spelling, punctuation and grammar skills limit the writing ability of some pupils
Some pupils have poor attendance records and persistent absenteeism amongst pupil premium pupils has been high in the past
Parental engagement/partnership with the school in supporting children’s learning needs
In some case, a lack of regular routines in the home including home reading, homework, spellings and having the correct clothing and equipment in school
In some cases, access to resources such as books, libraries and life experiences (social/cultural capital)

How we will spend the funding to overcome the barriers.

Strategic leadership informed by the Achievement For All (AfA) programme
2 week Summer school August 2010 for PP children (£8000)
Forest School teacher employed 0.4 days per week to run sessions for vulnerable groups to include PP children (£4000)
1:1 and small group after school tutoring (£3000)
Effective Feedback Training CPD programme for teachers and TAs (£3000)
To help parental engagement/partnership with school in supporting child’s learning needs the school employs a Pupil Well-being Practitioner (£7500)
Additional teacher to provide experiential curriculum enrichment activities and events – Artsweek, Vikings, WWII, Egyptians, Romans, Greeks role-play days (£2500)
1:1 sessions working on specific social and emotional issues with SENCO (£2500)
Early morning small group pre-tutoring for pupil premium children in Y6 (£1500)
Additional teacher to teach Y6 in three groups of 20 pupils (£2500)
Additional 1.8 teaching days in EYFS to help pupil premium children achieve early learning goals (£15000)
To improve the number of PP children achieving the expected standard in phonics the school has employed a trainee teacher to co-teach Y1, offering release time for the phonics lead for leadership and monitoring tasks (£1600)
To provide additional TA in class support in all phases (£6000)
Overtime payments for TAs to attend training (£1000)
To help support independence and resilience the school pays for PP children to attend residential trip and day trips where necessary (£4000)
Breakfast and after-school club sessions (£2500)
Extra-curricular clubs support (£1000)

How we will measure the impact of the funding.

We use both internal and external data to measure the impact of the Pupil Premium Grant on our pupils’ learning. We will review the effectiveness of the interventions we are using and adapt them to meet need when and where required.
We will closely monitor PP children to ensure good progress, at least in line nationally and with each full cohort in school in GLD, Phonics, Reading, Writing and Maths.

The next review will be July 2021
