Impact of Pupil Premium Funding for 2015 - 2016
Staff training on the Back on Track Programme and Numbers Count Programmes has enabled us to successfully implement these intensive intervention programme. Purchasing the Sandwell assessment has allowed us to identify children’s strengths in maths and gaps in their learning. The programme is carried out individually or in small groups for three sessions per week for 10 weeks. Intervention Impact Reviews show that all children make good progress and the majority make accelerated progress in maths.
The funding has enabled some pupil premium children to attend trips and residential visits which have provided additional educational experiences, helped develop their social and life skills.
Specialist 1:1 teaching of reading, writing and spelling has resulted in children making accelerated progress from their starting points.
Additional 1:1 and small group teaching of phonics and reading has enabled the children to make good progress. This is particularly evident with phonics in KS1.
Our pupil premium funding and how we intend to spend our allocation is reviewed between April and May each year.
