Part A: Pupil premium strategy plan

Statement of intent

Our aim is to improve academic outcomes and close the achievement gap for disadvantaged students in order for their long-term opportunities and aspirations to be fulfilled.

With outcomes which compare very favourably with all students nationally at this stage, we aim to close the in-school gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged students.

We wish to ensure that the use of the Pupil Premium fund places provision for this group of students as an ongoing key priority for the school.

We will look to provide the best quality classroom experience and provide the additional support (both academic and pastoral) that individuals and groups need to excel; through utilising research-based approaches across the school’s provision

Challenges

This details the key challenges to achievement that we have identified among our disadvantaged pupils.

Challenge number Detail of challenge Staffing/resources/evidence
1 Curriculum Engagement – disadvantaged students struggle to engage with the curriculum in the way that their peers may because of:

o   Literacy and numeracy barriers

o   Lack of cultural capital to contextualise their learning

o   Lack of resources and access to wider support

o   Lexia License

o   Small group intervention for reading

o   Recruitment of additional LSAs

o   Subsidised trips/visits

o   Deployment of laptops for disadvantaged

2 Wellbeing – the wellbeing of disadvantaged is a challenge which manifests itself as:

o   Lower motivation

o   Poor resilience

o   Lack of confidence & self esteem

o   Student mentoring and school counsellor

o   External Workshops

o   Senior Wellbeing lead appointed as part of Director of Character, Culture & Community role

o   National School Breakfast Programme

3 Low aspirations – disadvantaged students are less aware of possible pathways than their peers which may include:

o   Access to further and higher education

o   Vocational routes

o   Increased social mobility

o   Educational visits

o   Excellence Academy staffing and budget

o   Breadth of courses and staffing to provide increased offer

4 Attendance – the attendance of disadvantaged students is lower than that of their peers and as a result, progress and attainment are at risk because of missed learning experiences Attendance officer as part of exam/attendance role in school

Part B: Review of outcomes in the previous academic year

Pupil premium strategy outcomes

The impact that our pupil premium activity had on pupils in the 2020 to 2021 academic year.

In 2019, the Progress 8 measure for disadvantaged students was significantly above average. This was also the case in 2020 and 2021 when calculated using valid data.

In 2022 the school showed above average progress in examinations for our disadvantaged students. A small Gap in progress has widened due to National changes in open bucket qualifications and its impact on the disadvantaged students outcomes.

In 2019, the Attainment 8 measure for disadvantaged students was higher than the average for England. The measure for 2020 and 2021 also showed a score higher than the national average for 2019.

In 2022 the Attainment 8 measure for disadvantaged students was higher than the average in England. Disadvantaged Students achieving a grade 5 in English and Maths has risen by 7% since 2019 and the percentages of disadvantaged students only achieving English or Maths has significantly reduced for both subjects.

In 2021 our year 7 cohort arrived with 51% of students below age related reading expectations, of these 63% were disadvantaged students, with an average reading age of 10.08 years compared to 10.79 years (0.71 GAP).  During year 7 the average reading age increased to 11.06 years with Disadvantaged students improving by nearly 1/3 of a year.

In 2021 pupil attendance was slightly above national average at 90% across years 7-11 with a disadvantaged gap of 6%.
