Impact of Pupil Premium

The Parent Support Advisor has worked closely to support vulnerable families and as a school we have developed resilience and well- being to support vulnerable children. The “Relax Kids” approach has been introduced by the HLTA and we have a weekly resilience award.

Extra support in EYFS ensured that the “Good Level of Development” increased from 49% to 64%. Investment in read, Write, Inc as well as intervention groups and Read, Write Inc Lead Teacher ensured that in Year 1 phonics increased to 80% from 60%. 77% of pupil premium children passed the test compared to 82% of non -pupil premium children.

These intervention strategies also impacted on results in Year 2. Of the Pupil Premium children who were present in EYFS, 100% made expected progress in Reading with 61% making more than expected. 50% achieved a 2A+.
