Aim 

Outcome 

Achieve national average progress scores in KS2 Reading (0) 

Reading progress and attainment was above national average for disadvantaged pupils as well as all pupils. 

Reading has been a whole school priority which has had a positive impact improving the teaching sequence and provision through staff training and coaching, but requires embedding in 2020-21. 

Exceed national average progress scores in KS2 Writing (0) 

Writing progress and attainment was above national average for disadvantaged pupils compared with all pupils who attained just below the national average.  

This positive impact was due to same-day teacher-led intervention and where disadvantaged pupils were prioritised through a ‘disadvantaged first’ approach. 

Achieve national average progress scores in KS2 Mathematics (0) 

Maths progress and attainment was below national average for disadvantaged pupils but also for all pupils.   

Group of low attaining (21 Pupil Premium eligible) children with poor understanding and application of basic skills to reasoning and problem solving. Further training is required in 2020-21 to improve quality first teaching. 

Achieve national average Good Level of Development (72%) 

Children working at a Good Level of Development for disadvantaged pupils (83%) exceeded national average. The percentage of all pupils (79%) also exceeded the national average.  

This was a result of a ‘disadvantaged-first’ approach to interactions and interventions. Results were projected and further evaluation is required in 2020-21. 

Exceed national average expected standard in PSC (82%) 

Teacher assessment of children working at the expected standard in Spring 2020 (90%) for all pupils exceeded national average (77%). Teacher assessment for disadvantaged pupils (64%) were just below the national average pass-rate for disadvantaged pupils.  

Due to COVID Year 1 did not complete the PSC. This has been rescheduled for Year 2 in Dec 2020 and disadvantaged pupils have been prioritised for targeted intervention in 2020-21. 

Develop high quality specialist teaching 

Delivering and accessing a broad and balanced curriculum for disadvantaged pupils but also for all pupils has had a positive impact on pupil engagement and enjoyment. This was evident in pupil voice, where children shared positive reflections about Music, Art and Dance. The quality of teaching in these subjects is now good. This strategy will be maintained during 2020-21. 

Increase the impact of leadership through regular monitoring and feedback to teachers 

The new pupil premium leader implemented a range of strategies to improve provision and outcomes for disadvantaged pupils.  Regular monitoring and feedback had been implemented but was not embedded fully due to COVID-19 closure. This development needs to be extended into 2020-21.
