A dedicated Pupil Premium Leader Priority on the School Development Plan Age appropriate resources targeting KS2 (Year 3 upwards)

Raised levels of attendance for FSM pupils.
The introduction of a new curriculum and assessment without levels makes direct comparison impossible. Pupil premium children who did not achieve expected were on the SEN register or had very poor attendance issues.
However:
attainment in reading - 71.5% achieve NE2 or above
attainment in maths - 57% achieve NE2 or above
attainment in writing - 57% achieve NE2 or above
Improved engagement in the wider curriculum.
Our FSM pupils overall made more progress than national average.
They made better progress in maths, the same progress in writing and slightly less progress in reading.
Percentage of children overall passing Year 1 phonics screening check was above National average.
Increased engagement with learning and motivation.
Good end of Key Stage results, meaning children are better prepared for the next stage of their education.
