Haveley Hey Pupil Premium Report To Parents
September 2013
OVERVIEW
The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011, and paid by means of a specific grant based
on 1 school census figures for pupils registered as eligible for Free School Meals in Reception
to Year 11. For Looked after Children the Pupil Premium was calculated using the Children
Looked After data returns (SSDA903). A premium has also been introduced for children whose
parents are currently serving in the armed forces. This service premium is designed to address
the emotional and social well-being of these pupils.
The Pupil Premium is additional to main school funding and it will be used by this school to
address any underlying inequalities between children eligible by ensuring that funding reaches
the pupils who need it most.
OBJECTIVES FOR PUPIL PREMIUM IN THIS SCHOOL
1. The Pupil Premium will be used to provide additional educational support to improve the
progress and to raise the standard of achievement for these pupils
2. The funding will be used to narrow and close the gap between the achievement of these
pupils and their peers
3. As far as its powers allow the school will use the additional funding to address any
underlying inequalities between children eligible for Pupils Premium and others,
including tackling barriers to learning such as attendance and behaviour
4. We will ensure that the additional funding reaches the pupils who need it most and that it
makes a significant impact on their education and lives.
SCHOOL POLICY
The Headteacher and governing body have agreed a policy for Pupil Premium to guide the use
of funds and to ensure that it represents value for money.
ACCOUNTABILITY
The Headteacher and leadership team will regularly and rigorously monitor, evaluate and review
the strategies we have put into place for Pupil Premium (PP) and report to the governing body
on its progress and impact
STATISTICS for the year 2012-13
 In school we had 233 pupils who were entitled to benefit from the additional funding.
 For each entitled pupil we received £619 per annum, other than armed forces children
who receive £250. The amount of premium has increased this year to £900 per child.
 In the 2011/12 year the school received £144.500 additional funds.
STRATEGY FOR USING THE FUNDING
The school has looked carefully at the needs of each pupil and we have decided to use the
following intervention strategies:






Providing small group work for pupils entitled to PP funding with an experienced teacher
focussed on overcoming gaps in learning to help them make improved progress and to
raise their standards of achievement
1:1 support for pupils entitled to PP funding to help them make improved progress and to
raise their standards of achievement,
Additional teaching and learning opportunities for pupils entitled to PP funding provided
through trained TAs or external agencies, to help them make improved progress and to
raise their standards of achievement
Acquiring effective materials for pupils entitled to PP funding aimed at raising standards,
particularly in reading and mathematics,
All our work through the Pupil Premium is aimed at accelerating progress moving pupils
entitled to PP funding to at least age related expectations. Initially this will always include
basic Literacy and Numeracy skills
Pupil premium resources will also been used to provide opportunities that develop pupils
talents in all curriculum areas,



Providing Breakfast club, including staffing and resources for pupils entitled to PP
funding,
Providing a range of extra-curricular activities across and beyond the whole school day
Providing specialist human resources and interventions in order to enable all pupils
entitled to PP funding to access all possible personal, social and educational
opportunities.
A SUMMARY OF EVIDENCE FROM THE EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT OF THE FUNDING



Behaviour throughout school has improved with Fixed Term exclusions decreasing for
the fifth year running. Pupils say that behaviour has improved a lot as confirmed by
inspection observations, Ofsted July 2012 and through Pupil Voice consultation as part
of our Rights Respecting work. Incidents of poor behaviour have significantly decreased
and are now very rare.
Lunchtime behaviour has drastically improved, with a further 20% decrease in incidents
of poor behaviour by the end of year, with no lunchtime exclusions for the third year.
EYFS outcomes are set within a new curriculum and assessment framework and so
outcomes cannot be compared with previous years. However, outcomes within the
Prime areas of Personal, Social and Emotional, Physical Development and
Communication and Language show good to outstanding progress with the majority of
children leaving the EYFS meeting or exceeding expectation within these areas.
Attainment in reading is improving, especially by the end of KS1, with a 15% increase in
the number of pupils achieving L2c+, this shows clear impact from the school’s Every
Child a Reader strategy and the Reading Recovery programme.
Within the Every Child Counts programme, all pupils made a minimum of 20 months
progress within the twelve week programme and the majority meeting the expected
Level 2 by the end of Year 2.
Outcomes for children with SEN show that School Action children perform in-line with
local and national averages, with reading levels greater than national averages.
KS2 pupils made exceptional progress. Two Levels progress for Year 6 was in-line with
National Averages for English (88%) and above National Averages for Maths (93%) The
Maths Progress % showed an increase of 37%.
A good % of pupils made Three Levels in Reading (30%), Writing (16%) and Maths
(23%)
Vulnerable Year 6 pupils met expected Level 4 outcomes within English and Maths
An ongoing increase in children meeting End of Year expectations in most year groups
The achievement and attainment gap between all pupils and Free School Meals pupils in
Year 2 and within KS1 and the majority of KS2 has been reduced by a minimum of 10%.
Within some cohorts, Free School Meal pupils have outperformed Non-Free School
Meals pupils.
SUMMARY:
In this second year of the additional Pupil Premium funding the evidence gathered
through the school’s self-evaluation has shown that the intervention strategies have
been very successful and that they have had a positive impact on the progress and
achievement of those pupils entitled to the additional funds. Ofsted judged the capacity
for improvement within school to be outstanding. We feel confident that there will be
continued progress this year and the school will move closer to narrowing the attainment
gap.
