Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium Strategy 2018/2019

School Aims

We aim to ensure that every child leaves Crackley Bank Primary able to display our school ethos of Care + Belief + Pride = Success. We aim for all of our pupils to be excited about learning and determined to succeed. We want to equip them with confidence, resilience and a passion for justice and equality. These qualities will enable them to achieve at all stages of their future lives.

The targeted and strategic use of Pupil Premium funding will support us in achieving our aims.

Principles:

Our principles are based upon addressing the barriers that affect some of our pupils – low attainment upon entry, social and emotional issues, and high mobility into the school all impact upon our pupils learning. We also focus upon addressing gaps in pupils’ understanding of the world in which they live to ensure that they develop into adults who contribute to their local, national and global communities in a meaningful and productive manner.

• We ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all pupils.
• We ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups. This specifically includes ensuring that the needs of socially disadvantaged pupils are addressed.
• In making provision for socially disadvantaged pupils, we recognise that not all pupils who are eligible for free school meals, (or have been eligible in the last 6 years) are socially disadvantaged.
• We also recognise that not all pupils who are socially disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals. We therefore allocate Pupil Premium funding to support any pupil or groups of pupils that the school has legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged.

Pupil Premium funding will be allocated following annual needs analyses which will identify priority classes and groups.

Provision

We have a range of provision in place to support children who belong to vulnerable groups, including those who are socially disadvantaged. This provision has the full support of the Governing Body and includes:

• Providing small group  intervention support for pupils who are achieving below the average level of the class
• Providing a Pupil Mentor for pupils who require regular in-school support
• 1:1 support by a teaching assistant in areas of Phonics, FFT and Numeracy
• Additional teaching and learning opportunities provided by teachers, TAs or external agencies
• Access to therapeutic interventions and advice
• Access to specialist workshops and courses to address specific issues
• Incentives to encourage attendance, good behaviour and parental involvement
• Support for Nursery families to purchase school uniform to encourage a sense of belonging to school
• Subsidy for transport for Educational Visits
• Projects to raise the aspirations of pupils
• Projects to raise the attendance of pupils
• Projects to raise the engagement of parents
• Projects to safeguard pupils
