Pupil Premium Strategies and Procedures Thomas Sparks Assistant Principal

Strategies to Raise Achievement of Pupil Premium

When reviewing strategies think about who and what you are targeting? Year 11 and Year 6 Lower down in your school Think back to your barriers. Why are you picking these strategies?

The Theory

Target Setting Aspirational targets set and tracked against Progress is key measure - not A*-C – linked to performance criteria of departments Department reviews of any underperforming areas Culture of minimising ISV

1-2-1 Strategies Peer Mentoring - use of Sixth Form - Year 6 students - university students - Year 7 students working in feeder primaries Small group work teaching Form Time sessions – identify small groups Effective/focused use of TAs

Targeted Mentoring Selected students assigned a mentor on SLT: – Competition amongst SLT – Meet with parents – Meet with student once a fortnight – Track against progress against targets, not A*-C (progress is key) This has been so successful that it is being rolled out across the school at all Key Stages

Raising Aspirations What do you want to do when you finish Year 11? Common answers from some students: -“don’t know” -“don’t care” -“College, I think – not sure what though” -“Probably stay at Sixth Form” -“don’t need qualifications, going to work with Dad”

Raising Aspirations College trips Taster days at Sixth Form Taster days at secondary schools Enrichment activities –Young Enterprise etc University taster days Careers day(s) Connexions interviews

Youth Workers We have 2 Youth Workers who work with our most vulnerable students Their relationship with students is completely different to a teacher/student relationship Play a massive part in the school

External Agencies We have developed a strong working relationship with Pet Xi External agency who will come in and do targeted booster classes for 1 week Excellent for demonstrating progress and impact of Pupil Premium Money

Not just about the D/C borderline One of the biggest challenges is the top end of Pupil Premium How do we cater for the student already making outstanding progress?
