Pupil Premium 2019-20

For the academic year of 2019 - 2020 the school received £37,884 in Pupil Premium or Pupil Premium Plus funding

The senior leadership team have discussed with staff various strategies for the best use of this funding. We continue to support children with extra curricular activities and the availability to learn to play a musical instrument. We positively encourage these children to join extra curricular clubs and have provided some extra curricular activities to encourage the children to maintain good self esteem and to widen their life experiences, for example a visit by a theatre company.

Specific pre-learning of key concepts of literacy and numeracy have been identified as a method of supporting children with their learning. Small group work supported by a teacher or a teaching assistant addresses concepts the children will face in the next class lesson giving them the confidence to take part in the main lesson more confidently. Plus recapping concepts they have just covered within a lesson. Small group work enables children to explore their misconceptions in a safe supportive environment.

67% of the pupil premium children in the 2019-20 Y6 cohort reached the expected level in reading, writing and maths in the 2020 teacher assessments.
