Pupil premium grant expenditure:
Report to governors: 2014/15
Overview of Whiston Junior and Infant School
All members of staff, governors and teaching assistants accept responsibility for all Children, regardless of needs and background. All children are welcomed, valued, nurtured and included. At we recognise that some children are disadvantaged economically and we are committed to meeting their pastoral, social and academic needs within the school environment. Sometimes, disadvantaged pupils can find it more challenging to reach milestones and this is recognised by the Government, who now give additional funding to schools to support them in meeting the additional needs identified. We are completely committed to ‘Narrowing the Gap’ between vulnerable pupils and the national expectation or other pupils performing at a higher level. The pupil premium forms a vital part of that process. This extra funding will enable us to ensure that none of our students are excluded from activities within the school and are able to make the same progress regardless of any economic hardship they may be experiencing, either temporarily or over a longer period. It will enable us to provide an inspiring and high quality curriculum and learning experience for all children regardless of background; it supports us to effectively remove any barriers to learning, which may include low entry points into school life. As our vision shows that the school has the highest expectations for all its children,
and is committed to educational excellence.’
Principles
Provision will be made through:
Facilitating pupils’ access to education
Facilitating pupils’ access to the curriculum
Alternative support and intervention within the school We recognise that not all students who are socially disadvantaged have been registered or have qualified for Free School Meals. We reserve the right to allocate the Pupil Premium Funding to support any student or groups of students the school has legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged.
Provision will not be aimed at children with Special Educational Needs, although these students may benefit from the provision. Some of the work funded through Pupil Premium will not be exclusive in its approach and may well have benefits for other children around them but the work will remain targeted intervention and support and funding will not be used in a general way to fund the work of the school.

Reporting Pupil Premium It is the responsibility of the governors to explain pupil premium expenditure to parents in the form of an annual statement. There is no set format for the report of pupil premium. Whiston J & I School will publish details of a report online annually. This report aims to detail information on how Pupil Premium will be and then has been used within school. This report will detail the attainment and progress of pupils who are covered by the premium and the intervention that has been supported by the additional funding. Reports will also detail the progress made towards narrowing the gap and this will be supported by reported data and academic progress. Regular reports will be presented on the progress of pupils supported by Pupil Premium to the Governing Body of the school.
Reporting to Parents Parents will be able to obtain information on the pupil premium via the schools website. This will be update annually.
Responsibility for reporting
The responsibility for the report will be allocated to the Head of School and her Senior Leadership Team. This report will be supported by key providers of the school’s inclusion services. The impact of the work undertaken will be reported by the SENCO and phase leaders.
The intended outcomes for all pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium funding are as follows:
Their attainment would be in line with their peers
Their achievement would be in line with / in excess of their personalised targets and predictions
Their achievement and attainment would be supported by their parents’/carers’ engagement
Their engagement in and enjoyment of learning inside school would be promoted and facilitated
Their engagement in and enjoyment of learning outside school would be promoted and facilitated
Their attendance at school will be in line with the national expectation.
Their progress will be accelerated so that if there is a gap between their achievement and the national expectation that this is narrowed:
Aim for all KS1 pupils to make at least good progress in Years 1 and 2 and close the attainment of pupils compared to National data and their peers.
Aim for all KS2 pupils to make at least 2 levels progress from Y2 – Y6 and close the attainment of pupils compared to National data and their peers.

Academic Outcomes to date:
KS2: In maths and writing, over the last 3 years, 100% of our disadvantaged pupils made at least expected progress, which is above National and either inline or above their peers. In reading, 100% achieved at least expected progress in 2013 & 2015, which was above National and peers. In all subjects there is no significant trends in 3 years for children achieving more than expected progress; however, in maths, reading &
writing 100% of low ability (from KS1 result) disadvantaged pupils made more than expected progress (L1 –L4) in 2015; 75% made L2 –
L5 in reading. These percentages are above National and their peers. Consequently the gap between disadvantaged and non-
disadvantaged children has closed. In combined subjects, reading and writing, the amount of value added (VA) is above peers in 2013 &
2015; however, in maths VA is above peers for at least the last 3 years.
At level 4, disadvantaged pupils achieved higher than their peers and Nationally in combined subjects and reading in 2013 & 2015; however, in maths and writing they have achieved above their peers and Nationally for at least 3 years. 2015, In reading and EGPS the percentage of disadvantaged pupils attaining L5 is roughly in line with their peers, although above
National FSM and National overall in reading.
Strengths in 2015
KS2 value added was broadly average or above in all subjects. KS2 value added in all subjects was broadly average or above for disadvantaged pupils and those who have special educational needs. From at least 5 out of every 6 starting points, the proportions of KS2 pupils making and exceeding expected progress in reading,
in writing & in mathematics were close to or above national figures. From at least 5 out of every 6 starting points, the proportion of disadvantaged KS2 pupils making and exceeding expected Progress in reading, in writing & in mathematics was similar to that of other pupils nationally. Disadvantaged KS2 pupils had an average point score equal to or above the national score for other pupils in reading. The proportion of disadvantaged KS2 pupils that attained at least Level 4 was equal to or above the national figure for other
pupils in reading, writing & mathematics. The proportion of disadvantaged KS2 pupils that attained at least Level 5 was equal to or above the national figure for other
pupils in reading. The proportion of Year 1 pupils that met the expected standard in phonics was above the national figure.
Summary and conclusion Development Area 2 & 3 :
Termly tracking of progress enable the SLT to intervene in the earliest possible time, and match pupils’ needs with specific provisions/ interventions. The Pupil Premium Grant also allowed the school to offer a range of curriculum enrichment activities which proved successful in developing children’s confidence, and in boosting self-esteem. The use of the Pupil Premium grant in subscribing to e-learning packages such as Abacus and Education City for instance contributed to the consistently improving standards in mathematics and reading by the end of KS2. Interventions and provision is making a positive impact on progress in reading, writing and maths. Many disadvantaged children usually enter FS2 slightly below typical and gaps are starting to close by the end of KS1, with progress accelerating throughout KS2. Consequently, by the time disadvantaged children leave school, they are roughly in line or above their peers. Investments in reading resulted to the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check outcomes to be above national average. This is also true for end of Key Stage 2 outcomes where FSM pupils outperformed their peers nationally in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics over time.

Summary: Development Area 1 - Contribution to pastoral support staffing, attendance intervention and resourcing:
(Awaiting 2015 attendance data)
2014 shows that strategies to impact positively through engaging with parents, including disadvantaged and pupils to raise attendance across school is working:
Reduction of 1% on disadvantaged pupils PA 2013 – 14 Reduction of 1% on disadvantaged pupils overall absence 2013 – 14
