Pupil Premium
The grant is to minimise the possible disadvantages associated with poverty and diminish the difference for pupils due to financial challenges. Each child that qualifies for Pupil premium grant has different needs and challenges and their support is also bespoke. These barriers to learning range from poor home support, damaged confidence and low self esteem, being passive, being overactive, having poor behaviour following inconsistent rewards and sanctions ,having difficulties concentrating, poor listening skills, delayed speech or being withdrawn as a result of negative feedback or trauma.
Pupils are tested at the end of each term at and their results are monitored. This termly tracking data is analysed and shows that Pupil premium interventions were effective as the majority of pupil premium pupil’s rate of progress was at least, or more than, chronologically expected. This monitoring also takes into account pupil’s special educational needs.
Supplement educational trips and residential visits: £1,220 Supplement cultural events, extra curricular activities: £100.This is because an additional barrier to learning can sometimes be experiential deprivation.
Additional classroom support teaching to allow for 1:1 pre-teaching, catch up or “in class” support and high staff to child ratio: £19,130
Total spend: £20,350

Intent and impact
We discussed how to spend our sports funding with our pupils. They felt we should put a large investment in swimming, for safety reasons as we are on the coast and near rivers and lakes and also because there are local swimming facilities so this will be sustainable as the pupils mature and may decide themselves to swim regularly . We also feel that swimming gives children excellent exercise for physical health with less risk of injury. In addition all pupils can participate in the session and unlike some other ball sports, like football…all pupils participate rather than having a number of pupils “hanging back”, or “never being passed to.”
We feel this has been successful as all of the 8 yr 6 pupils last year were able to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres. All of them also received the certificate for being able to use a range of strokes effectively and perform safe self-rescue in water based situations.
