Part A: Pupil premium strategy plan/

Statement of intent

At Rokesly Junior school we aim to ensure that all pupils including those that may be disadvantaged, the most able, those with special educational needs, a disability (SEND) and for children for whom English is an additional language (EAL)regardless of background are able to:

Ø  acquire knowledge through a well-planned and sequenced approach which ensures progression across the key stage, that builds on previous learning;

Ø  access extended opportunities. Therefore, great importance is placed on inclusion which allows every child to develop and flourish on an equal footing;

Ø  develop into responsible global citizens by fostering an interest in the wider world and an understanding of how they can make a positive contribution.

This pupil premium strategy details how the school’s pupil premium funding and the recovery premium funding will be used to address the difference in attainment and life experiences between pupils eligible for pupil premium funding in the school and those that are not.

Research on effective strategies to address specific issues has been used to inform the actions to be taken.

Challenges

This details the key challenges to achievement that we have identified among our disadvantaged pupils.

Challenge number Detail of challenge
1 Attainment and progress in reading, writing and maths is lower for pupils eligible for pupil premium grant (PPG) funding than it is for those pupils that are not.
2 Diagnostic analysis shows that gaps in phonetic knowledge are impacting negatively on academic attainment.
3 There exists a significant overlap between pupils eligible for PPG and those with SEND, creating an amplified challenge for some.
4 PPG pupils’ attendance and punctuality is lower on average than that of non-PPG pupils. Lateness and absence have a hugely negative impact on learning and wellbeing.
5 Through observations it is evident that there is a difference in levels of confidence between most pupils eligible for PPG and some of those that are not.
6 Some of the families of pupils eligible for PPG funding are experiencing a range of domestic issues which are impacting on their child’s performance at school.
7 Some of the parent/carers of pupils eligible for PPG funding lack the confidence to support their children with learning at home and are less able to engage in wider opportunities that enrich learning and life experiences.

Intended outcomes

This explains the outcomes we are aiming for by the end of our current strategy plan, and how we will measure whether they have been achieved.

Intended outcome Success criteria
The attainment and progress gaps in reading, writing and maths between pupils eligible for PPG and those pupils that are not is closed. Assessments indicate that attainment and progress scores for pupils eligible for PPG funding are in line with their peers.
All pupils joining the school from the Infants that are not secure in their ability to decode are supported to be able to do so effectively. All pupils except those with specific literacy difficulties are able to use phonics and a range of strategies to decode and develop their reading skills.
Quality First Teaching is evident in all subjects areas and teachers are able to adapt their planning to meet  the needs of all pupils in their class. Teachers are using strategies that significantly improve pupil attainment e.g. visual timetables, Now and Next boards, Teacher Walkthrus etc
To further develop an understanding of  teaching pedagogy so that all teaching supports the learning needs of all pupils. All children receive very good quality first teaching.  Pupils with SEN that are also eligible for PPG funding make accelerated progress.
To ensure that the attendance rate for pupils eligible for PPG funding is at least 96% and they attend school on time. The rate of attendance for pupils eligible for PPG funding is at least 96%. Pupils eligible for PPG funding access early morning interventions by arriving at school on time.
To ensure that all pupils in the school feel valued and have a strong sense of self worth and self assurance so that they are able to confidently contribute within the school and beyond Pupil voice demonstrates that pupils are able to communicate with confidence and articulates their views and opinions clearly.
To address the gap in cultural capital through continuously developing and enriching the curriculum delivered and ensuring that pupils eligible for PPG funding have access to a range of wider learning opportunities. Pupils eligible for PPG funding access the full curriculum (e.g.year 6 residential trip), extra-curricular activities, trips etc.
To support parents to address some of the external barriers that are impacting on their children’s progress. Parents are better able to support their children’s learning needs as a result of greater stability at home enabling strengthened partnerships with the school.

 

Activity in this academic year

This details how we intend to spend our pupil premium (and recovery premium funding) this academic year to address the challenges listed above.

Teaching (for example, CPD, recruitment and retention)

Budgeted cost: £64780

Activity Evidence that supports this approach Challenge number(s) addressed

Training to support Quality First Teaching for all across      the school to support all groups of children but particularly those disadvantaged, SEND and More Able.

Reviewing the pedagogy of teaching. Training to develop teacher knowledge of most effective ways to ensure children remember more and make good or better progress  from starting points.

All teachers CPD aimed at diminishing the difference and challenging able learners, regardless of background

Supporting the Attainment of Disadvantaged Pupils identifies high quality teaching as a key aspect of successful schools. DfE, 2015.

‘Ensuring an effective teacher is in front of every class and that every teacher is supported to keep improving is the key ingredient of a successful school and should rightly be top priority for any pupil premium spend.’

 Easter School (identified Year 6 pupils)

Online Saturday school tuition for identified children

Small group tuition has an impact by providing additional support that is targeted at pupil needs. The reduction in the ratio of pupils to teacher compared to a  regular classroom setting also allows for closer interaction between educators and pupils. The EEF report that this can have an impact of 4 months across a year, (EEF 2021). Within the school context, data demonstrates the effectiveness of target intervention in a specific timeframe. A structure of success has been established through evaluation and analysis termly. 1 2 3
Homework club for identified Year 3 – 6 pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium Grant. Homework clubs are identified as having impact for pupils when linked to core learning, (EEF 2021).

The data shows that there is a bigger gap lower down the school. As the children settle in to the routines and expectations of Key Stage 2 their rate gf progress increases. This is seen in both English and maths.

All pupils including those eligible for PPG funding use phonics to decode words and all pupils are attaining at age related expectation (ARE) or above in reading.

Not all pupils are yet attaining at age related expectations or above in reading the data indicates that in some year groups a significant percentage of the cohort are able to do so. However,  an ongoing target for the school is to have at least 90% of pupils in each year group attaining at age expected.

  ARE GDS

Quality First Teaching is evident in all subjects including in the teaching of reading.

The curriculum in all subject areas has been reviewed and adapted to ensure that there is clear intent in each subject and the curriculum is implemented through a clear well structured sequence of lessons that builds on knowledge year on year and enables children to make long term links in their learning.

Pupils are better equipped to regulate their emotions and achieve improved well-being.

Zones of Regulation have been introduced into the school

To ensure that the attendance rate for pupils eligible for PPG funding is at least 96% and they attend school on time.

Unfortunately, the school has been impacted by ongoing illnesses which has resulted in the attendance rate for pupils eligible for Pupil premium funding being % compared to that on non PPG children being %

 To further develop an understanding of  teaching pedagogy so that all teaching supports the learning needs of all pupils

To support the development of teaching pedagogy Teacher Walkthrus have been introduced to the school and are being used in every classroom. In addition, there is a CPD focus on developing teacher subject knowledge.

To address the gap in cultural capital through continuously developing and enriching the curriculum delivered and ensuring that pupils eligible for PPG funding have access to a range of wider learning opportunities.

 Pupils eligible for PPG funding access the full curriculum (e.g.year 6 residential trip), extra-curricular activities, trips etc.

Pupil premium strategy outcomes

This details the impact that our pupil premium activity had on pupils in 2020 to 2021 academic year.

There was a noticeable increase in the number pupils requiring pastoral support and this was addressed through the introduction of mindfulness, support from the inclusion manager and the school home support worker. Some of the gaps in learning were targeted through the use of additional adults resulting in teaching in smaller group sizes. The school home support worker played an important role in terms of pupil well-being during lockdown and ensuring families had access to a range of services.
