Pupil Premium

£2,300 – any child registered as Looked After

There are no guidelines on how this money can be spent, although performance tables now contain information about the impact schools have made on closing the gap between different groups.

Schools must evidence strategies in place to raise the attainment of FSM pupils and what the associated costs are alongside attainment and progress figures for this group of children.

‘The Sutton Trust’ produced a report assessing a range of strategies which could be linked to Pupil Premium funding and could be used to improve attainment based on effectiveness and value for money.  This will be used at East Dene Primary to help strike a balance between effectiveness and cost.

Since 2012 we have been required to publish details of our PPG on our website, which must include:

• The amount of the school’s allocation
• Details of how it is intended to be spent
• Details of how the previous years allocation was spent
• The effect of the expenditure on the attainment of the pupils the grant was intended for

This should be an overall breakdown of funding and how effective it has proved.

At East Dene Primary school we have four key principles which we believe will maximise the impact of our pupil premium spending.

Ø  ALL staff to deliver high quality lessons for ALL pupils. This will be achieved through:

Having a focused QA systems which informs all CPD

Personalised support packages offered for members of staff new to the profession (NQTs/RQTs)

Support staff invited to weekly CPD sessions

Regular master classes for all staff to focus on the development of phonics and early reading skills

Weekly teaching and learning briefings

Improve staff subject knowledge and understanding across the curriculum by accessing subject leader network meetings

Ensuring support is given to teachers who need to improve their practice and expertise.

Ø  ALL children to have strong self-belief, to be ambitious and secure in setting aspirational personal goals. This will be achieved through:

Improving attendance and punctuality

Providing personalised support for families

Building links with pupils and schools across the country

We are committed to enabling all pupils to achieve to the best of their abilities.  We have high aspirations and ambitions for our children and we believe that no child should be left behind.  We strongly believe that it is not about where you come from but your passion and thirst for knowledge, and your dedication and commitment to learning that make the difference between success and failure.  We intend to invest our pupil premium grant in better learning and will, therefore, allocate money to raise the aspirations and achievement of our children from more disadvantaged backgrounds. We believe that one of the biggest barriers to learning for children can be poverty of expectation and aspiration – and so we are determined to create a climate that does not limit a child’s potential in any way.
