Desired outcomes and how they will be measured |
Success criteria |
|
|
To further improve the teaching and learning across the school to ensure that the gaps for pupil premium students in both progress and attainment is closing continue to close.
|
Tracking data and GCSE results which will show the gaps closing. Where they are not, interventions are put into place and the impact of these are regularly monitored. Monitoring of homework provision, regularity, appropriateness, quality of provision and quality of feedback is in line or better than those pupils who do not qualify for pupil premium. Support with and the monitoring of the provision of homework. |
|
|
More students who are eligible for pupil premium funding are able to extra curricular activities. |
More pupil premium students take part in these types of activities. |
|
|
Improved rates of progress across the school for the high attaining pupils eligible for pupil premium. |
Progress 8 scores for the most able disadvantaged is in line with their none disdavataged peers. Pupils eligible for pupil premium identified as high attaining from KS2 levels / raw scores make as much progress as ‘other’ pupils identified as high attaining, across the school, so that they are on or above track to achieve their high targets and the end of KS4. Where they are not, interventions are put into place and the impact of these are regularly monitored. |
|
|
The increase in the literacy skills means that this is no longer a barrier to the learning of the pupil premium students. |
The reading and spelling ages of this cohort of students is in line with those of the none disadvantaged students. |
|
|
Improved behaviour of the pupil premium students both in and outside of the classroom.
|
Fewer behaviour incidents recorded for these pupils on the school system. |
|
|
Improved attendance for all the pupil premium students. |
Overall attendance among students eligible for Pupil Premium improves. |

Regular Pupil Champions meetings took place where the analysis of the interventions took place with the sharing of best practice and the strategies and interventions that had worked. The final progress 8 figure of -0.441 has been calculated after replacing an outlier with the lower tolerance figure of -2.5. If this outlier is removed, the progress 8 figure stands at -0.236 The attainment 8 figure for the whole cohort was a figure of 39.89 and when this outlier is removed, the attainment 8 score becomes 42.58. |

Student one to one meetings with discussions around the provision of these activities and remove any barriers stopping the students attending. To offer all those in receipt of pupil premium the opportunity to participate in extra curricular activities at school which may incur a cost (e.g.) (peripatetic music lessons, DoE, etc). The school to contribute to the cost of either hire of specialist equipment or for the actual instruction itself if appropriate. To ensure these students have access to funding for sporting activities, curriculum trips, year group trips, residential trips and for other opportunities outside the classroom.

Improved behaviour of the pupil premium students both in and outside of the classroom.
|
Meetings with the careers advisor. Trips to colleges in school time. One to one meetings after each round of tracking. Discussions re future behaviour after any fixed term exclusions. Continual monitoring of the procedures with a particular focus on the pupil premium group. Further develop strategies to reduce exclusion of pupil premium students. Use of a mentoring system to discuss and improve behaviour concerns, both in and out of school. Provide incentives to promote good behaviour.
|
EEF Behaviour interventions; Moderate impact for moderate cost, based on extensive evidence. +4 months. “it is clear that reducing challenging behaviour in schools can have a direct and lasting effect on pupils’ learning.” (EEF Toolkit) “Interventions which target social and emotional learning seek to improve attainment by improving the social and emotional dimensions of learning, as opposed to focusing directly on the academic or cognitive elements of learning.” (EEF Toolkit) Mentoring; Low impact for moderate costs based on moderate evidence. +1 School-based mentoring programs have on average been less effective than community-based approaches, possibly because school-based mentoring can result in fewer opportunities for young people to develop more lasting and trusting relationships with adult role models. However, positive benefits such as improved attitudes to school, better attendance and improved behaviour have been reported. (EEF) Two schemes for incentivising pupil effort have been researched by the EEF. The first provided a financial incentive, while the second provided an incentive of a trip or event. The research identified an improvement in classwork effort across English, Maths and Science for the group who received the financial incentive, but no long term impacts on GCSE results were identified for students on either scheme. It seems that material incentives might have increased motivation, but this did not translate into better grades. |

Behaviour has improved and there is a closure in the gap between pupil premium and none pupil premium in the school points system. This is lower down the school as well as Key Stage 4. |
