ACTION PLAN FOR PUPIL PREMIUM GRANT 2016-17
OBJECTIVES
Pupil Premium is allocated to children from low-income families who are currently known to be eligible for FSM and children who have been
looked after continuously for more than six months.
Key Priority:
To narrow the disadvantage gap by addressing inequalities and raising the attainment of those pupils in low-income families.
What do we expect to see:
Targeted strategies which result in pupils, however financially disadvantaged, being able to have full access to our curriculum, quality first teaching and all our extra-curricular experiences. All pupils who are currently under-performing because of their disadvantaged background will make improved progress leading to narrowing of any attainment gaps.

Objectives:
Achievement of Pupils
  • To close / narrow the gap between FSM and non FSM children in school and with their peers nationally
  • To provide early targeted intervention for underperforming groups as identified through SIMS data – including those in receipt of PPG
  • Analyse progress of PP pupils termly for the causes of under achievement, and through the Performance Management process
Quality of Teaching
  • To ensure never less than good / outstanding teaching for those children in receipt of PPG
  • Teaching Assistants are highly trained and understand Formative assessment strategies
Behaviour and Safety
  • Attendance / punctuality and behaviour of children in receipt of PPG in-line with other children in school and nationally
Leadership and Management
  • Ensure high quality early intervention from experienced teaching staff

Success Criteria:

  • Analysis of this cohort using SIMS demonstrates a closing / narrowing of the gap with peers in school and nationally
Quality of Teaching
  • Targeted intervention for underperforming groups to take place including those in receipt of PPG – teaching to be never less than good / mainly outstanding - using SIMS data / lesson observations (linked to Performance Management process) to evaluate impact
  • Use of Formative Assessment strategies embedded and impacting on quality of teaching and thus progress of children – linked to Performance Management process
Behaviour and Safety
  • If attendance / punctuality and behaviour of children in receipt of PPG not in-line with other children in school and nationally then provide school based interventions such as additional level 1 TA / parenting support
