Our broad and overarching objective for disadvantaged pupils at Flintham Primary is that:

• When they leave our school, their attainment is no different to that of non-disadvantaged pupils and as such they are academically ready for the transition to secondary school.
• They very quickly lose any reading attainment deficit they have on entry to school and all leave KS1 as fluent and proficient readers.
• They have access to and take up a wide range of enrichment opportunities that enable them to develop cultural capital, life experiences and personal and social skills that are no different to those of other pupils.
• Their absence from school is no greater than non-disadvantaged pupils and is less than all pupils nationally.

Challenge number

3

Limited early reading experience affect attainment in KS1 and later their progress in KS2

4

Limited early maths experiences affect attainment in KS1 and later their progress in KS2

5

Disadvantaged pupils have lower attendance than non-disadvantaged pupils.

6

Limited life experiences and opportunities to join in enrichment activities.

Intended outcome

Success criteria

PP children make better than national typical progress in writing. An increased number attain ARE and GD at end of key stages compared to previous key stage.

Individual pupil’s progress scores are greater than 0 in writing.

Individual pupil’s progress scores are greater than 0 in maths.

Individual attainment for PP pupils show that they have held their previous key stage judgement and some have lifted up to higher judgement in maths.

PP attendance increases to be at least in line with national figures for all pupils.

Attendance of identified PP pupils increases and the gap between PP and non-PP narrows.

PP children will not be disadvantaged to non-PP children with regards to enrichment activities.

All children have the same enrichment opportunities and PP pupils have been supported to access enrichment and extracurricular activities.

Pupils are to receive same day RWI interventions to assist with keeping up with all pupils in their group and not falling behind

EFF: Studies in England have shown that pupils eligible for free school meals typically receive similar or slightly greater benefit from phonics interventions and approaches. This is likely to be due to the explicit nature of the instruction and the intensive support provided.

Targeted phonics interventions may therefore improve decoding skills more quickly for pupils who have experienced these barriers to learning.

Fluent reading supports comprehension because pupils’ cognitive resources are freed from focusing on word recognition and can be directed towards comprehending the text.

Strand 3

Reading comprehension can be improved by teaching specific strategies that pupils can apply both to monitor and overcome barriers to comprehension.

These include:

• Prediction
• Questioning
• Clarifying
• Summarising
• Inference
• Activating prior knowledge

Measure

Details

How did you spend your service pupil premium allocation last academic year?

We have a small number of pupils (2) receiving this. The funding enabled the pupils to access support for reading, writing and maths. ELSA was available for the pupils, although they didn’t access it last year.

One of the pupils attended mindfulness colouring and yoga as an extra-curricular club

What was the impact of that spending on service pupil premium eligible pupils?

Pupil premium pupils made at least good progress and are on track in reading, writing and maths for end of year achievements.
