The aim is to ensure:

Ø  that the progress of the disadvantaged pupils is at least in line with that of the other pupils in our care

Ø  improved self esteem, confidence and emotional stability

Ø  improved participation in school based activities

Ø  improved participation in extra curricular activities.

The impact:

ü  improved rates of progress: in summer 2016, all 3 disadvantaged pupils achieved age related expectations in reading, writing and maths; in summer 2013, both disadvantaged Year 6 pupils attained Level 4+ in English and Maths; one made 2 levels progress in English and Maths, the other made 3 levels progress in English and 2 levels progress in Maths

ü  improved self esteem, raised confidence and emotional stability: eg our 2 ELSAs, one each in KS1 and KS2, have supported more than half the disadvantaged children

ü  improved participation in school activities and visits: eg through school trips

ü  participation in extra curricular clubs and activities: provision of lunchtime clubs increased by funding TAs to run clubs

ü  enrichment from music tuition and clubs: as above.
