Pupil Premium at Park Street

In addition, inspectors at the last inspection recommended that disadvantaged pupils’ progress was also carefully considered and that more was done to improve this further. These pupils do well in school and often do better than their peers. This is due to the close checks you make on these pupils’ progress and the support provided where underachievement is identified. It is also due to the varied opportunities you provide these pupils to ensure they fully participate in school life. This includes your support of them participating in after-school activities, as well as various trips which enhance their understanding of the wider world. These are important factors in engaging disadvantaged pupils, who also show positive attitudes to learning and enjoyment of school life, like their peers.
(Ofsted June 2018)

"Leaders have taken steps to make sure that disadvantaged pupils make as much progress as other pupils in the school. The pupil premium is used to good effect to employ additional staff to help these pupils with their literacy and numeracy skills and as a result, they achieve well and keep up with their peers in most classes. The school’s own information shows that gaps in attainment between disadvantaged pupils and others are diminishing for all current year groups."  (Ofsted 2014)

Information about Pupil Premium at Park Street

In 2011-12 the Government launched its Pupil Premium funding. This money is sent to schools based on the numbers of pupils in the school who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM). In 2012-13, it was expanded to include all children who have been eligible for FSM within the last 6 years. In addition, children whose parents work in the forces or children who are Looked After Children/adopted also receive a grant. This money is allocated to initiatives to ensure these pupils reach their full potential, both academically and socially.

Principles of the Pupil Premium Funding:

• We ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all of our pupils.
• We ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups, this includes ensuring that the needs of children who receive the pupil premium funding are adequately assessed and addressed.
• In making provision for pupils, we recognise that not all pupil premium children will be disadvantaged.
• We also recognise that not all pupils ​who are disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals and they will, from time to time, be included in group interventions with children receiving the pupil premium grant.
• All our work through the pupil premium will be aimed at accelerating progress so that all children meet their expectations both academically and socially.

Monitoring Impact and Success

Accelerated progress targets are set for each child who is eligible for pupil premium and rates of individual and class progress are monitored by class teachers and the leadership team of the school.  In turn, this progress is reported to Governors each term. Progress is measured by the number of national curriculum points each child achieves each term and the number of points progress they achieve over time.  Provision for pupils for whom pupil premium provides additional support is also measured through observations of lessons (how much progress they make) and scrutiny of their work (to measure progress over time).
