Additional support from
teaching assistants.
Focused support on a one to one basis and
group interventions has previously shown
that these groups of children when they have
returned to the classroom have been able to
access the curriculum appropriately. Training
for the teaching assistants with bespoke and
accredited interventions ensure children
make rapid progress.

D. Increased attendance
rates
Overcome negative
barriers for PP children
associated with reducing
their attendance.
By creating a positive culture of support and
a broad and balanced curriculum with
greater opportunities it is intended that this
will allow the children to experience school
positively.
Also ensuring that there is a clear message
to parents and carers who have a disregard
towards attendance at school. By ensuring
that it is clear that panel meetings and fixed
penalty notices will be followed up using the
LA and school protocols.
Provision of a learning mentor to support
those children whose attendance is low as a
consequence of ow emotional wellbeing.

Improve attainment for
PP children
Sprinter/Splinter
classes
Focused interventions for Year 3 and 4 children
who were disadvantaged did not fully meet their
needs as planned. The children were later
regrouped into five classes of Year 3 and 4. This
was disruptive for the staff and the children.
Children did not have a learning environment of
other aspirational children present for them to
succeed in their learning. This was replaced by
interventions from teaching assistant support.
A false environment was created to ‘sprint’ lower PP children
back to their intended ARE. This bubble wrapping approach
did not enable the children to aspire and gave them a false
sense of security within an environment with lower
aspirations.
