What has been the impact ?

All pupil premium pupils have been fully included in all aspects of school life.

Silver seal has specifically supported behaviour.

Pastoral support has been consistently strong. This is regular timetabled allowing children to dip in and out of the service as required. Pastoral support has had a positive impact on self esteem and strengthened home / school relationships.

Targeted intervention has enable rapid progress to be made, supporting a child in closing the gap. Pupil progress meetings are held 6 times a year to ensure progress is made and planned for.

 Both classes are supported by an HLTA ensuring pupils have access to small groups and quality teaching.

 Issues such as attendance are identified quickly and acted on as a result attendance for specific children has improved. Staff training has been provided to support sustainable solutions.

Access to breakfast club has provided support on both a social level and in fostering healthy life style.

 Funding for additional sports activities has supported a healthy life style, particularly in encouraging low investment sports such as running whereby families can participate out of school for no additional cost.

The school uses pupil premium funding well to ensure that all pupils are able to access all parts of the curriculum, including residential visits. It has also supported pupils effectively to help them make good academic progress. This demonstrates the school’s commitment to equal opportunities and to ensuring that there is no discrimination.
