Desired outcomes and how they will be measured

Success criteria

a

Ensure that disadvantaged children achieve just as well as non-disadvantaged children by the end of KS2 in terms of progress made across the year or across the key stage in the case of year six PP children.

Ensure that disadvantaged children who are on the SEN register and not projected to make ARE by the end of key stage two, make measurable progress against phase objectives.

PP children will achieve at least in line with outcomes for non PP children by the end of the school year and at least in line with national outcomes for non-PP children.

PP Children on the SEN register who do not achieve ARE by the end of the school year will be able to demonstrate progress from their start of year point using internal assessment processes

b

Ensure that vulnerable children receive appropriate pastoral support from the ELSA/ class teacher when needed in order to reduce the impact of home circumstances on children’s ability to attend school and learn.

Children who are referred to the school ELSA make good progress with their area of pastoral needs.

c

Ensure that the needs of  individuals who demonstrate challenging behaviour are met through in and out of class support and that staff who work with them are able to use effective strategies

Levels of exclusions of PP children are decreased and incidents of poor behaviour are reduced for identified individuals through appropriate support mechanisms being in place (LSA in class support)

d

Improve identified children’s attendance through support and intervention from the ELSA and other staff measured through the SIMS attendance data

Absence levels are reduced and attendance is improved with a reduction in lateness where it is an issue. All PP children will have at least 95% attendance rates at school

e

Ensure that all FSM/ Ever 6 children have equality of access to resources, activities and other opportunities, measured by financial support provided from the Pupil Premium money.

Attendance at clubs, activities, residentials, trips and other events by FSM/ Ever 6 children and financial support provided to enable this to happen

Vulnerable children receive 1:1 or small group pastoral care and support when referred, requested or identified by staff by ELSA

To work with identified children to effect positive change on learning, behaviour and social and emotional development.

Children with anxiety and medium level mental health needs often fall between class support and CAMHS support so the ELSA role can provide liaison with parents, teachers and child to address vulnerabilities to aid development in learning, behaviour and social/emotional development.

Identified children are supported in their learning by leading practitioners from across the school

Deputy head and head teacher to teach a small group of children on a daily basis to help them achieve ARE by the end of year six. To begin from January onwards

Small group work from highly skilled experienced practitioners will impact on outcomes. This approach has impacted in previous years in bringing about significant progress.

Head/ DHT/ PP lead to monitor outcomes for pupils through Progress review meetings with year six team and children moving fluidly between groups to ensure their needs are met.

Dept head / year six leader

Identified PP individual receiving individualised 1:1 support beyond normal ECHP support provided to impact on outcomes/ behaviour.

To enable 1:1 specialist support for vulnerable children

EEF research shows that 1:1 tuition can be effective at helping children to make additional progress.

LSA is allocated to a PP child in one year group on the basis of behavioural need. Additional hours beyond those from EHCP Monitoring the learning behaviour of that child by class teacher / lesson observation and the impact that the support is having  on the individual

SENCo / deputy / head

All PP children have attendance rates of at least 95% over the course of the year.

Identification of the specific PP children for whom attendance is an issue and create plans to cater for these children on an individual basis., Use the school based system (new) of red, amber and green letters to increase attendance and then individual meetings for identified children. Consider early help hub referrals for where persistent absence is an issue

Children who are in school regularly and miss less school have better outcomes while those with regular absence often fail to make the necessary progress

Half termly monitoring of all children across the school to look at absence levels and immediate responses from the school office for those identified children for whom absence is an issue. Half termly letters out to parents indicating the children’s levels of attendance and lateness.

Teachers provide PP children with high quality feedback to impact on their learning

Teachers to spend time working alongside PP pupils during each lesson and to ensure that PP children receive high quality feedback in their books which brings about improvement. Marking provides explicit next steps for pupils and these are acted on by children

The feedback given to pupils by teachers helped to impact on the learning that they make. Pupils are expected to respond to this feedback and this has helped them progress with their learning.

To continue with this approach next year and re-inforce with teachers the need to ensure that PP children receive this feedback to enable them to make progress.

Teacher time to ensure that feedback is good quality and SLT time to monitor the levels of feedback

Vulnerable children receive 1:1 or small group pastoral care and support when referred, requested or identified by staff by ELSA / external councillors

To work with identified children to effect positive change on learning, behaviour and social and emotional development.

The impact of intervention time with the ELSA / councillors can be considerable. The teachers recommend that the ELSA completes sessions with identified PP children and these help build self-esteem and relationships in school which ensure that children continue to attend regularly. There were 0 exclusions of PP children over the course of the academic year.

To continue with internal systems of referral by class teachers to the ELSA (or where appropriate to external agencies who come in and work alongside specific children.

Qualified teacher to provide 1:1 or small group support to identified child

To provide high quality 1:1 qualified teacher learning support for underachieving children eligible for FSM/ Ever 6

Additional teacher working primarily alongside identified children in year six impacted on outcomes across the year group through directed support. Data outcomes indicated the success of the support for individual children 

When available this is an effective resource to target individuals but is an expensive option that is not always possible to sustain within financial constraints.

Teacher time supporting small groups and individuals (Staff salaries)  

LSAs employed across the school to help support the learning of PP children as part of in class provision

Ensuring that support is provided by LSAs in lessons and through the delivery of intervention sessions where needed for PP children

Individualised support when targeted in class has a significant impact for PP children in school. Withdrawal programmes also help to contribute to their needs.

LSAs having an increased knowledge of the needs of the PP children in class needs to continue to be a priority for the year ahead
