Pupil Premium Grant
The grant is provided in order to support these pupils in reaching their potential and close the attainment gap between them and their peers.
The amount of money the school receives each year is dependent upon :
– the number of pupils registered as eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last 6 years,
– pupils identified in the January school census or the alternative provision census as having left local-authority care as a result of one of the following:
- 1. adoption,
- 2. a special guardianship order,
- 3. a child arrangements order (previously known as a residence order),
- 4. pupils that have been in local authority care for one day one day or more.
- 5. Pupils whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces
The Government does not dictate how schools should spend the grant, but are clear that schools will need to employ the strategies that they know will support their eligible pupils to increase their attainment and ‘narrow the gap’.
When allocating the pupil premium grant at Carlton, we have considered what our eligible children need in order to achieve their full potential and what the barriers are for them.
We have agreed on the following areas and have directed the funding into initiatives that will meet these needs :
1. Pupils being emotionally and physically ready to learn;
2. High quality 1st wave teaching that leads to raised attainment;
3. A meaningful and enjoyable curriculum that engages and enthuses pupils;
4. Engagement of parents/carers in their child’s learning and life at school;
Please click on the tabs that outline how we spend the pupil premium allocation at Carlton each year.
The impact of initiatives is measured at the end of each school year. Achievement data for pupil premium/disadvantaged pupils is gathered and comparisons are made between them and non-pupil premium/disadvantaged pupils nationally.
The strategy and allocations are reviewed annually to ensure it meets the needs of our pupils.
In order to meet the above requirements, the Governing Body will ensure that provision is made which secures the teaching and learning opportunities that meet the needs of all pupils.
As part of the additional provision made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups, the Governors of the school will ensure that the needs of socially disadvantaged pupils are adequately assessed and addressed through termly pupil progress monitoring and a range of other means e.g. surveys/pre & post intervention assessments.
In making provision for socially disadvantaged pupils, the Governors of the school recognise that not all pupils who receive Free School Meals. The Governors reserve the right to allocate the Pupil Premium grant to support any pupil or groups of pupils the school has legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged.
In order to ensure that the grant impacts on outcomes for children, the Pupil Premium Grant (PPG)spending will be allocated based on analysis of in-school data and finding from reviews etc..
Priorities are based on analysis of this data and planned accordingly.
The priorities for the school for the current academic year can be found in the Pupil Premium Plan.
- The Head Teacher/Deputy Head/SENDCO’s are responsible for maintaining a record of the priorities and evaluating their impact. The Finance Officer is responsible for costing up the priorities and ensuring best value for money.
- The impact of all actions will be reported through the School Improvement Committee. The Head Teacher is responsible for reporting the overall impact to the full Governing Body in their reports and at each School Improvement Committee meeting.
- There is a named Pupil Premium Governor.
The evaluation of this policy is based on how quickly the school can ‘narrow the gap’ between socially disadvantaged pupils and their peers.
The success criteria for the Pupil Premium Policy are:
- Provision of research based interventions and support for socially disadvantaged children
- The vast majority of socially disadvantaged children will meet their individual targets
- Effective parental pupil school support
- Having an effective system for identifying, assessing and monitoring pupils
- Create a positive school atmosphere in which pupils’ differences are recognised and valued as full members of the school community; developing, confident and independent learners.
- All children will have outstanding learning experiences.
In 2017/18, the impact of the Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) ill be measured as follows;
- findings from lesson observations, learning walks and work scrutiny
- ongoing in school termly data
- end of year data – attainment and progress
- end of key stage data/phonic check data
- analysis of interventions provided
- analysis of attendance data
- SEND progress data
- Behaviour Records
- % Parental attendance at events/meetings
