Pupil Premium Spending and Impact – 2014 to 2015

Last amended July 2015

Governors monitor the impact of PP monies at Strategic, Resources and Achievement and Standards’ committees

Allocation = £205,600– Overall judgement is that the Pupil Premium is showing added value and is impacting on pupils’ achievement and well-being

Spending / Desired Impact / Measured Impact
Butterfly Room staffing, including Pastoral Support Manager and Teaching Assistants = £36,658 / Supporting vulnerable children in a classroom setting, as opposed to withdrawal from mainstream learning. This is a change from last year and enables staff to work alongside class teachers, to allow full access to the curriculum. / Supported 5 brand new vulnerable children to leave their parents and settle into school immediately. 3 have now left. Of the 2 remaining, attendance is over 96%.
Butterfly TAs -
A very small number of children (4), who, at times, display some challenging behaviour, access butterfly support, which helps them to go back to their learning.Other vulnerable pupils use the pastoral team for support. One of these pupils has made accelerated progress in writing and maths in the two and a half terms that he has been with us. Another highly anxious pupil has made accelerated progress in reading and Writing due to this additional support. These children have made at least expected progress in all areas. This shows very good impact of this £36,658 and has added considerable value for these pupils.
Reading Champions = £34,655 / To close the gap in Reading for Pupil Premium children across school. Reading Champions deployed in Reception, Y1, Y4, Y5, Y6 in autumn, then with SEN from the data analysis in December and all PP pupils apart from Y2 in Spring 2 and Summer 1. / In summer 2, Reading Champions were deployed with PP pupils across year groups 1, 4 and 5.
Sum2 results in Reading show: Reception pupils made progress in line with expected; Y1 and Y4shows that pupils made better than the expected half a step progress, making 0.8 steps. In Y5, the pupils made in line with the expected progress.
This shows very good impact of this £34,655 for almost all of the 131 children.
EAL/PP support through Teaching Assistants £35,430, Interpreters £750 and targeted resources £5000 Nexus Grant £600 / To support English as an Additional language children arriving at school with little or no English, so that they can rapidly acquire vocabulary to access the curriculum. / EAL pupils across school show that they are generally performing in line with or better than Non EAL pupils in all subjects except in Y6 for writing and maths and Y1 for maths.EAL/PP children are also performing broadly in line with expectations or better in all subjects in all year groups.
This shows good impact of the £41780.
Behaviour Intervention Worker = £7308 / To work with pupils with behavioural issues, so that exclusions can be reduced. This is mainly around 1-1 support and small group work in order to raise the self-esteem of the children involved. / Fixed term exclusions last year were 2.7%, compared with 0.9% nationally. This involved 14 incidents. This year there have been 14 exclusions, involving 8 pupils, 3 of whom have now left.The fivepupils who have had exclusions this year and still attend have a high level of 1 to 1 support and are known to other agencies. This shows some impact of this £7308.
Clerical support for attendance, including Clerical Officer = £9180, Pupil Support Assistant additional hours = £3936 / To work closely with the pastoral team in order to improve attendance of Pupil Premium children. / Currently, only tenchildren are projected to be a Persistent Absentee, compared with 13 last year. One of these children has had major heart surgery in autumn 2014.The minibus is in place to transport pupils who are particularly vulnerable with regard to attending school.Of the pupils who were PA last year, only 1 has finished the year as a PA and has a medical diagnosis.FSM attendance is 94%, which is the same forSummer 22013. The national average for FSM pupils last year was 93.6% so this has gone from significantly below to above the national figure for this vulnerable group.
This shows very significant impact of this £13116.
Targeted Group work, including additional Teaching Assistants in Y2, Y5 and Y6 = £19,411, Achievement for All = £2,815, Teacher and TA targeting groups from data analysis = £12775, Numbers Count teacher = £14,684, Fellowship Saturday Club = £3,000, 1-1 support for child with multiple issues = £10,188, 1-1 tuition in the afternoons Foundation to Y3 = £6720, Digismart = £500 / Closing the gap for vulnerable pupils, who are PP, EAL and SEN
The Achievement for All (AfA) is targeted at the most vulnerable children in school
Pupils needing intervention in maths are targeted to plug gaps in understanding. / Progress of Pupil Premium pupils in Reading across school is better than expected in all year groups except for Year 3, where it is in line. In every year group, except Y3, it is broadly in line with their Non Pupil Premium peers.
Progress of Pupil Premium pupils in Writing across school is broadly in line or better than expected in all year groups. Progress compared to their Non Pupil Premium peers is broadly in line or better apart from Y6, where it is below.
Progress for Pupil Premium pupils across school is in line or better than expected in Maths. Progress compared to their Non Pupil Premium peers is in line in all year groups apart from in Y6 where it is below.
This shows some impact of the £19411.
Over the year, Y5 Pupil Premium Digismart children have made similar progress to their peers in writingbut less inreading. Progress of these pupils is above the expected 3 steps. In maths, they have made better progress than their peers (4.3 steps). Last year, these pupils made significantly less than their peers in all areas.
This shows good impact of the £500.
The progress of the 18 AFA children is inconsistent. In Years 1,2 and 6 the pupils have made expected or better progress across all subjectsY5 pupils made accelerated progress in Writing and Maths. The third round of structured conversations have been carried out.
This shows some impact of the £2815.
Targeted PP children in Y4 working with the extra TA have made better than expected progress. In Y4, PP have made progress in all subjects broadly in line with their Non PP peers.
This shows generally good impact of this £12775.
The Numbers Count teacher is working with 16 pupils in Year 5, who have made 0.6 steps in summer 2, indicating accelerated progress.
This shows very good impact of this £14684.
The Fellowship programme has been running for 5 Y6 children who have madeaccelerated progress in reading and maths this year. Progress in Maths during Summer 2 was also accelerated.
This shows very good impact of this £3000.
The child receiving 1-1 support has had a very settled year in terms of his attendance, behaviour and a dramatic reduction in the number of restraints needed.They are now accessing sometime in his class.
This shows good impact of this money. (£10,188)
1-1 tuition in the afternoons involves some PP pupils in Y1 in preparation for phonics screening. All of the targeted children achieved the required standard.
This has shown very good impact of the £6720, with the vast majority of pupils blending within 2-3 weeks.
Other costs including Breakfast Club = £2000, Uniform and Book Bags = £115, Residential visit = £600 / To improve attendance. To boost children’s confidence across the curriculum and motivate them in their learning.
To ensure they have a healthy meal to start the day and are on time to start their learning.
To foster a greater sense of belonging to the school team.
To increase self esteem by challenging themselves both physically and mentally. / As of the end of summer 2 2015, 75% of pupils had accessed at least one extra curricular club, of which, 20% were PP. Our target is to increase this further. It is very hard to quantify impact from book bags and uniform.SLT have carried out discussions with PP children and found thatthe children who regularly attend the breakfast club have improved their attendance at school and feel more confident about their school day. Pupil interviews show that the residential enabled the six children to ‘believe in themselves’ and know that they could reach their targets.’ (SM)
Total Cost £206,325
Slightly more than our allocation / In May 2015, 86% of Pupil Premium monies are having good or very good impact across all core areas, and 14% is having some impact.This is an improved picture on last half term and represents good impact of the Pupil Premium monies.
