LSIP Raise Online School Tracking Intervention Records Pupil Progress Meetings OFSTED

OFSTED May 17 - Progress of the disadvantaged pupils: the pupil premium funding is used well to promote the good progress of these pupils. The use of the funding is regularly reviewed so that leaders and governors can target spending to where it has the maximum impact on raising the achievement of disadvantaged pupils. The initiative to provide sharply focused sessions for targeted pupils (SEND/EAL), including disadvantaged pupils used funding to have maximum impact on raising the achievement of these groups of pupils. In these sessions pupils of all ages are enjoying learning.

Disadvantaged pupils are now making equally good progress to that their peers.

Pupils work hard in lessons and are very supportive of each other and produce good work. They are developing some effective learning skills and evidence in their work shows that they are increasingly resilient.

April 2018 July 2018

Over the year pupils in all classes have made good progress, with in excess of 80% of each class making three steps of progress over the year. Our focus on attainment of the middle and higher attaining groups has meant that higher proportions of pupils finished the year closer to year group expectations.

At the end of KS2 our Year 6 cohort had 22 pupils who were Ever 6/Pupil Premium recipients.

Their SATs attainment was: Reading = 15/22 (68%) Grammar = 18/22 (82%) Maths = 18/22 (82%) Writing = 12/22 (55%) GDS = 5/22 (23%) Able and talented provision in school extended to include dedicated time for Music and French groups. Pupils were identified in each class for the A and T register for ability, talent and passion in different curriculum areas.

Pupils had opportunities to work in collaboration with other schools and compete against other schools.

Higher attaining pupils across school were given focus to be meeting year group expectations in core subjects and the majority of pupils in this group across school have done so.

Aspirations work takes place with all classes. Aspiration is a powerful learner quality which is focused on in classes throughout

More able pupils make greater rates of progress in core subjects, especially reading. They attain in line or above expected standard in core subjects.

Recognition of success as a positive is not always understood by PP children.

This rejection can be used as a protective response to failure, perceived failure or a child’s fear of failure.

More able pupils should be making better rates of progress in all subjects. Reading is a growing strength of the school and something which pupils need to become better at so that they can cope with the next phase in their education and build strong skills for life.

 Growth mind-set work to allow pupils to recognise and celebrate success positively and develop strategies to overcome barriers.  Reward system for PP children promoting celebration of achievement and resilience.  Home school liaison to share achievement of PP children.
