Measuring the impact of PPG spending 

The school’s evaluation of its own performance is rigorous. Tracking of progress over time for each pupil is thorough, and so we can quickly identify any dips and develop sensible strategies and interventions to promote improvement.

• A wide range of data is used – achievement data, pupils’ work, observations, learning walks, case studies, and staff, parent and pupil voice
• Assessment Data is collected half-termly/termly so that the impact of interventions can be monitored regularly
• Assessments are closely moderated to ensure they are accurate
• Teaching staff and support staff attend and contribute to pupil progress meetings each term and the identification of children is reviewed
• Regular feedback about performance is given to children and parents
• Interventions are adapted or changed if they are not working
• A designated member of the SLT maintains an overview of pupil premium spending
• A governor works closely with the pupil premium team

We will use Raise Online, KS2 KS1, Phonics, EYFS as well as whole school data (using Classroom Monitor) to evaluate impact in terms of attainment and progress.

The school evaluated the impact on each pupil at the end of the summer term. Evaluation focused on academic gains and how pupils' self-confidence and well-being developed as a consequence of the intervention/support, as well as their engagement with wider school life.  Progress in literacy and mathematics for those year 6 pupils benefiting from the 'Achievement for All' and 'Assertive Mentoring' programmes in particular was outstanding overall.  Across the school, all pupils made progress and participation in the wider life of the school increased, as measured through attendance at after school clubs and events; this support will form part of next year's provision.

ALL teaching staff and support staff are involved in analysis of data and identification of pupils and are aware of who pupil premium and vulnerable children are. ALL pupil premium children benefit from the funding, not just those who are underperforming with underachievement at all levels being targeted (not just lower attaining pupils).
