Premium (Pupils)
Impact of Pupil Premium Spending
The school has a rigorous system of Self Evaluation allowing for progress to be accurately monitored. Any dips in performance are identified and appropriate interventions and strategies put in place to address this and ensure improvement and progress.
- A wide range of data is used – achievement data, pupils’ work, observations, learning walks, case studies, and staff, parent’s and pupil’s voices
- Assessment Data is collected half termly so that the impact of interventions can be monitored regularly
- Assessments are closely moderated to ensure they are accurate
- Teaching staff and support staff attend and contribute to pupil progress meetings each half term and the identification of children is reviewed
- Regular feedback about performance is given to children and parents
- Interventions are adapted or changed if they are not working
- Two governors, Mrs Barnwell and Mrs Daley, are responsible for monitoring the impact of the pupil premium and do so through termly data review meetings with the Deputy Headteacher/Head of Teaching and Learning. The governor Curriculum Committee also monitors the impact of the grant termly.
