Improved levels of

Maintain effective
adult:child ratio in mixed
age classes
Effective use of TA time and expertise is
paramount to raising standards in our mixed
age classes (R, 1 & 2 and 3, 4, 5 & 6) TAs
are well trained and experienced in both
Literacy and Numeracy as well as areas of
SEN. Such deployment allows split groups to
be taught by the class teacher and targeted
learning to be maximised.
Teachers’ planning to detail how TAs
will be deployed and to include
references to effective questioning
and assessment opportunities. SLT
will use this when observing lessons.
Progress will be tracked through work
in books, pupil progress meetings
each half-term and discussions with
both TA and teachers.

Improved levels of
attainment in Reading for
PPG pupils
1:1 support in both KS1
and KS2 classroom. Daily
short sessions in KS1 by
HLTA who has been
trained in reading support
strategies.
In KS2, TA to run IDL
program daily for 10
minutes as well as 1:1
reading support x3 week
1:1 reading session have proved very
effective in the past in KS1 and in other
schools. It not only raises reading ability but
offers opportunities to develop self-esteem
and relationships for PPG pupils.
IDL programme is being used to raise
reading attainment for all pupils but works
particularly well for PPG pupils because it is
computer-based, motivational and offers the
child immediate feedback.
1:1 sessions to be timetabled and
recorded in JfM booklets (targeted
individual sessions: Just for Me)
Progress to be evaluated on a halftermly basis by SLT and SENCo.
IDL is a well-established programme
used by other schools in the local
cluster. It offers data each time a child
moves through assessment blocks
that are evaluated by TA and Class
teacher and then SLT.

Improved levels of
attainment in Writing for
PPG pupils
1:1 support provided by TA
to improve technical
aspects of writing such as
spelling and handwriting.
SPAG Online used weekly.
1:1 sessions offer opportunity for precise
teaching and targeting of needs. The
sessions enable discussion between child
and practitioner to develop not only writing
skills but also growth mindset.
Sessions to be planned by class
teacher using on-going assessment of
writing and LAPs (Lancashire
assessment tool).
Progress will be evaluated during
pupil progress meetings on a halftermly basis and during discussions
with both TA and teacher.

TA to implement Power of
2 maths programme.
Previous use of the programme has yielded
rapid progress and as it is a coaching system
it can be delivered as little or as many times
in a week as practicable. The step by step
approach, fills gaps in a child’s knowledge.
During this process they gain confidence and
knowledge, allowing them to access the topic
that they’d had problems with. The books are
ideal for individual, structured support and
enable TAs to set targets, evidence
progress, diagnose areas of concern and
plan one-to-one time. All areas of the mental
maths curriculum are covered and they are
ideal to build confidence and attainment.
Sessions are run by TAs who have
used the programme effectively in the
past.
Progress is evaluated at pupil
progress meetings each half-term and
through discussions with TA and
teacher.

Full access to
enrichment activities
for PPG pupils
Identified families to be
approached when
enrichment activities are
planned and offered
funding to allow children to
access these fully.
Families do not often approach school for
support and therefore either do not return
permission slips or do not attend enrichment
activities which in turn affects attendance.
AH
July 2017
School bursar to know which children
this barrier affects and ensure that
they are contacted as a priority when
school enrichment and/or extra
curricular clubs are planned.
PPG governor to have a report about
how well attended enrichment and
clubs are at Full GB.
Total budgeted cost £520
