The Pupil Premium Grant is allocated in addition to the main funding a school receives. It is targeted at students from disadvantaged backgrounds to help ensure they benefit from the same opportunities as students from less deprived families. From September 2016, the premium will be worth £955 per student who at any point in the past 6 years have been in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM); £2,345 per student who is in the care of, or provided with accommodation by, an English Local Authority or who has left care under adoption, Special Guardianship order, or Child Arrangements order (previously known as a Residence order); finally £310 per student whose parent/parents recorded as Ever 6 service children or are in receipt of a child pension from the MoD.
This grant is aggregated for use in the most cost effective way to provide support for all of these children and may be spent in the following ways:

Staff continue to experience a very wide range of CPD. At school level but also at a wider Trust level. This continued during lockdown where staff had access to remote training. This will continue next year.
The additional TA in EYFS continued to have a positive impact, even during lockdown by engaging with key children and families and sharing key target areas for children to focus. Interventions such as Talk boost will continue next year as will this model. The pt time intervention teacher was replaced for the rest of the academic year by a full time teacher who supported in year 6 and shared the class whilst the teacher took on additional maternity cover leadership responsibilities. Interventions took place until lockdown. Insight tracking programme has proved very useful and staff have more ownership of their own data. This will continue next year. Tapestry use across EYFS has had a positive impact. Both will continue next year. A more structured and consistent approach will be adopted for the next academic year. |

Having an additional TA in EYFS focusing on communication and language has proved very successful and this will continue next year. Attendance has improved year on year, however, there is still more to be done. We will continue with it being a school priority (see SIP F1) We have refined our approach and our SLA with Walsall LA to be more focused on our current needs. DHT has taken oversight of this and established a new attendance team. The maths and English interventions will continue next year, as well as Easter school. The resources will also continue to be purchased as well as the additional home resources. |

A strong pastoral team has been created with a pastoral lead. Their work is vital across our school and ensures that children and families, particularly our most vulnerable, are fully supported. School-led Early Help is strong. Internal and external audits show that there is a strong culture of safeguarding. Unfortunately, due to the building move and lockdown, Saturday school didn’t happen this academic year. The funding was used towards books for the new library. Breakfast club is popular and well attended. There is no charge to parents/carers for this. This ensures that children receive a healthy breakfast and a smooth start to the day. As well as being open to everyone, key children are targeted to attend. |
The Pastoral team continues to be strong. Feedback on student rewards has been positive. The impact of these can be seen in the data and will continue next year. Votes for school continues to be popular and powerful amongst the children. This continued throughout lockdown. Unfortunately, not all SEND training was able to take place. Further SEND training will continue next year. We spent the additional £100 on Lexia programme for SEND children. Most classes went on an off-site educational visit before lockdown and the school subsidised a large part of this for every child to be able to access it. For some families, school funded all of it. Unfortunately, the year 6 residential didn’t go ahead due to COVID. Additional funds were used to support some families in accessing online learning and ensure that they had books, stationery etc to access home learning. |
