Review of outcomes in the previous academic year: 2023 - 24 Pupil premium strategy outcomes
This details the impact that our pupil premium activity had on pupils in the 2023 to 2024 academic year.
When looking at comparative data, it is important to realise that we have small cohort numbers with sometimes 1 or 2 children in a cohort. It is therefore important to look at the data with caution and realise that outcomes can be very much cohort dependent.

Outcomes
Foundation Stage – Good Levels of Development
FS2 – Good levels of development 66% (2/3) of our disadvantaged children achieved a good level of development. This compares with 52.2% in Nottinghamshire and 59% in Bassetlaw.
In the Foundation Stage, the employment of an extra TA has enabled children to be quickly identified who need short burst ‘in the moment’ interventions. This has allowed all children to achieve a good level of development.
Phonics outcomes Year 1
Phonics outcome at year 1: 100% of our disadvantaged children achieved 100% in phonics compared with 67.8% in Nottinghamshire and 65.7% in Bassetlaw.
Target achieved (85% of Pupil Premium)
Monitoring shows that phonics teaching is embedded and that children are making good progress. Assessment takes place every 6 weeks which enables us to pick up any children who are not making sufficient progress. These children can then have smaller group or 1:1 interventions. These interventions have allowed children to make good progress.

Due to the small number of children in year 6, it is useful to look at progress for our pupil premium children from KS1 to KS2. (school data as no KS1 SATs data due to Covid -19)
Reading progress: 25.67 School Non-pupil premium 24.6
Writing progress: 20 School No- pupil premium 20.50
Maths progress: 25.33 School Non-pupil Premium 24.61
The purchase of a reading programme, Reading Plus, has been fully embedded across KS2 and this has had positive impact on the children’s attainment in reading. This has enabled year 6 children to make significantly more than expected progress.

Please read the information below which gives details of our Pupil Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.
Introduced in 2011, the pupil premium is a sum of money given to schools each year by the Government to improve the attainment of disadvantaged children.
This is based on research showing that children from low income families perform less well at school than their peers. Often, children who are entitled to pupil premium face challenges such as poor language and communication skills, lack of confidence and issues with attendance and punctuality. The pupil premium is intended to directly benefit the children who are eligible, helping to narrow the gap between them and their classmates.
Schools are given a pupil premium for:
If your child was previously entitled to free school meals but is no longer, they will still receive pupil premium based on the 'Ever 6' qualification (a pupil who has ever had free school meals in the past six years).
Schools can choose how to spend their pupil premium money, as they are best placed to identify what would be of most benefit to the children who are eligible.
