4. Intended outcomes (specific outcomes and how they will be measured)				Success criteria
A.	A larger percentage of PP children will achieve national expectations in Maths – Targeted teaching/small group intervention – Ensure PP children consolidate basic number skills –			Invest in revision guides, small group intervention of First Class @ Number. Change in teaching so that key ‘fluency’ skills are being taught.
B.	Higher percentage of PP children to achieve combined expected standard in line with national average. – Internal data – Target Tracker – End of year summative assessments/SATs			Meeting with PP children, identifying personal barriers. Half termly/termly progress meetings. Investment in revision and question books to support learning at home and school.
C.	All PP children will be able to express their feelings and be ready to learn. – Boxall assessments – Pupil Voice/Qualitative assessments			Introduce nurture group for children that need it. Invest in staff meeting time to train teachers and TAs. Invest in resources to support nurture group.
D.	All PP children to receive enrichment activities and take part in cultural … (especially HA PP) – Take part in when they arrive (France trip subsidies) – Qualitative assessments – Pupil/Parent voice questionnaires			No PP children will miss out on opportunities that other children have. School will talk to parents to ensure that their child does not miss out on opportunities.
E.	Increased attendance for all PP children and in line with national expectations. – Monitoring attendance daily and weekly – Breakfast club (Rise and Shine) register – Pupil and Parent Voice			Reduced number of persistent absentees. Breakfast club offered free of charge and a healthy breakfast offered. School to proactively contact parents about lateness and absence.

5. Review of expenditure
Previous Academic Year			2017-2018
Small Y6 group provision – smaller Maths/English support with experienced teacher – Progress levels for disadvantage pupils increased (shown by internal data) and within confidence levels nationally. 33% of disadvantaged children met the Y6 expected standard compared to a predicted level at the start of the academic year. Lessons learned – more intervention needs to be accessed earlier – names to be on teachers planning and all teachers are aware of pupil premium children – so always in the forefront of their minds while planning. Further development of intervention strategies (SENDCo support where needed) and quality first teaching strategies. Staff to access CPD where appropriate. Access to ‘Rise and Shine’ provision, although no quantitative data can be accumulated, children that attended this club were ready for school, had a safe place to come to in the morning and key people to access throughout the school day (club is run by in-school teaching assistants). The children were therefore ready to learn. To continue this next year, ensuring that all pupil premium pupils are invited again and have the opportunity access breakfast club. Introduce a ‘homework’ or ‘reading’ opportunity so that ‘extra’ learning can take place where necessary. Access to wider opportunities, curriculum enrichment activities, subsidies for school trips – This allowed all pupil premium children the opportunities that their peers receive (learning an instrument/going to Edale/visiting a Roman settlement). The impact this has on their self-esteem and self-confidence is qualitative measure but this then impacts the impression PP have of school and therefore impacts their learning. Responses from parents and children were overwhelmingly positive. To continue next year, with focus on children gaining new and inspiring experiences. Subscription to Behaviour Support and Educational Psychologist – this allowed children to access learning in the classroom, personalised provision and therefore impacted their progress. This means that not only the children are getting the support they need but the teachers are able to access support and CPD. Interventions taking place (First Class @ Number/Talking Time etc.) – this allowed trained members of the staff the opportunity to target pupils in different areas so that they can make measured progress. Lessons learned – ensure that this continues next year to make sure that targeted support is available where required. Also, as a school we will look at providing interventions earlier in PP children’s school life – give PP children the opportunity to access support as soon as something arises and with a focus on Maths.
