The Pupil Premium is an allocation of additional funding provided to schools to support specific groups of children who are vulnerable to possible underachievement.  These include pupils who are entitled to free school meals, those looked after by the local authority and the children of armed service personnel.

All schools are required to report on the amount of funding received and how this is being used.

Total Allocation = £74,400

This figure also includes the £6,525 recovery premium. Pupil Premium funding for the first 7 months of the year is £39,643. Funding for the remaining 5 months of the academic year is will be £28,232. These figures do not include funding for looked after children).

The school summarises the main barriers to educational achievement faced by eligible pupils at the school as:

• Under-developed reading, writing and numeracy skills of some of our disadvantaged pupils leading to lower attainment in line with national
• Oral language skills in EYFS and Year 1 are lower for pupils eligible for PP than other pupils. This slows reading and writing progress in subsequent years.
• a proportion of children have social and emotional difficulties that prevent them from engaging with learning, at times impacting on their learning and that of others within their class

Below is a summary highlighting the key areas that we plan to spend the pupil premium, please see the full report below for a more detailed description.

• Increase the number of two-year-old places available in the Nursery
• Maintain smaller single form entry classes rather than mixed classes to ensure a focused teaching approach – this will be achieved by employing an additional class teacher over the actual requirement.
• Have a TA available to each class to focus on improving the outcomes for children in Reading, Writing and Maths. The TAs will work with a range of children including low and high prior attainers. The TAs will also work with a whole class, allowing the class teacher to focus on smaller groups.
• Have a TA with time dedicated to specific targeted interventions.
