Outcomes
	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.

Desired outcome A	Chosen actions/approaches			Evidence and/or rationale for this choice	Staff lead	Date for review	Impact after the review
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.	Through lesson observations, learning walks, book scrutinies and other feedback instruments. The homework needs to be of a good quality and relevant to the outcome to be achieved. Use of period 6 to further support and assist pupils to do extra work and/or catch up work thereby assisting them with their studies. In addition, there will be the opportunity for the students to do further work before school, at break and lunchtimes.

Desired outcome B	Chosen actions/approaches			Evidence and/or rationale for this choice	Staff lead	Date for review	Impact after the review
More students who are eligible for pupil premium funding are able to extra curricular activities.	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 rates of progress across the school for the high attaining pupils eligible for pupil premium.	The sharing of good practice across the school which includes the interventions and strategies that work for individual students, the interventions that work across departments. Focussed and relevant events at any outside establishments. Individualised and relevant academic targets for the students concerned. Use of period 6 to further support and assist pupils to do extra work and/or catch up work thereby assisting them with their studies. In addition, there will be the opportunity for the students to do further work before school, at break and lunchtimes.

The increase in the literacy skills means that this is no longer a barrier to the learning of the pupil premium students.	Assess the literacy ages of these students Identify those of low literacy skills IDL programme for those students who have been identified as to having traits of dyslexia. Paired reading for pupil premium students who have literacy skills below their expected ages. 121 and small group provision of literacy. SLT group tutor readings. Further use of the IDL (Lifting Barriers) project by use both in and out of school and a diary system to monitor and further support the use of this resource.

Desired outcome E	Chosen actions/approaches			Evidence and/or rationale for this choice	Staff lead	Date for review	Impact after the review
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.

Improved attendance for all the pupil premium students.	First day response provision. Monitor attendance daily to keep informed re attendance and to see if any patterns develop. Particular focus on the attendance and rigorously following procedures for the pupil premium students. PP lead to monitor this group of students. One to one sessions. Parental meetings. Attendance pastoral support programmes. Fixed penalty notices Mentoring programme. Encourage attendance even when ill by using A3 as a place for work to come to the student rather than the student go to the work. Use of period 6 for catch up of work missed when absent.			We can’t improve attainment for children if they aren’t actually attending school. NfER briefing for school leaders identifies addressing attendance as a key step.
