Impact of PPG spending 2013/14
Following impact statements are based on the school’s analysis to date, initial data available to the Local Authority in September 2014 and RAISEonline October 2014.
For attainment of disadvantaged pupils end of KS2:
  • in 2014 the attainment gap significantly narrowed (by 30%) for pupils achieving Level 4/+ in combined reading, writing and mathematics compared to school and national non-disadvantaged pupils. This is predicted to continue in 2015
  • in 2014 the attainment gap closed for pupils achieving Level 4/+ in reading, writing and GPS compared to school and national non-disadvantaged pupils and narrowed for maths. This is predicted to be sustained in 2015 for reading, GPS and maths, whilst a gap returns for writing (see 2014/15 section for planned provision to reverse this)
  • between 203 and 2014 the average points gap between school pupil disadvantaged and national non-disadvantaged pupils narrowed by 2.5 in reading, 0.8 in maths and 4.5 in writing (for which gap closed). For same period average points gap between school disadvantaged and national non-disadvantaged narrowed by 0.7 for reading, 4.5 for maths and 2.9 for writing.
For progress of disadvantaged pupils end of KS2:
  • In 2014 the gaps between closed for most subjects compared to schooland national non-disadvantagedpupils. For 2015, the gap is predicted to close in reading and maths and be in line with writing., but for writing one child (absence due to hospitalisation) is at risk of not making expected progress and therefor the gap has widened, although not significantly.
For attainment of disadvantaged pupils end of KS1:
  • in 2014 the attainment gap for pupils achieving Level 2/+ narrowed in writing and maths, but widened in reading compared to national non-disadvantaged pupils
  • in 2014 the figures achieving Level 2/+ masked a significant widening of the gap in maths and the sustaining of a significant gap in writing and maths when calculated using average point scores (see 2014/15 section for planned provision to reverse this)
For progress of disadvantaged pupils end of KS1:
  • to date, 83-100% of pupils are making expected or better than expected progress from their end of foundation starting point (see 2014/15 section for planned provision for greater % to make better than expected progress to achieve age expectation)
For Year 1 phonics screening and Year 2 retake:
  • there was no gap in 2013 between school disadvantaged pupils and national non-disadvantaged, but in 2014 a gap of 20% developed
