We are expecting an allocation of £19,600 for the financial year 2014 - 2015.

This represents:

9 FSM (Ever 6) Pupils

4 children who were adopted from care

1 service child

As of April 2014 it had not been confirmed if the children adopted from care would be included in our allocation. However, we committed spend for these four children as from the beginning of the Summer Term 2014. It was confirmed late in July that these children had been included.

How the funding was deployed:

Summer Term 2014

11 hours additional TA support split between Reception and Reception/Year 1 (weekly)

3 hours additional TA support in Year 1 / Year 2 (weekly)

3 hours additional TA support in Year 2 (weekly)

6 1/4 hours additional TA support in Year 3 (weekly)

"Beanstalk" Volunteer Reading Helper in Years 2 and 3 (weekly)

5 1/2 hours additional TA support in Year 4 (weekly)

6 1/2 hours additional TA support in Year 5 (weekly)

In Year 6, we recognise that we receive funding for these children for the full financial year but that they are only at Greenmount for one term. We will therefore deploy all the funding for this cohort during the Summer term:

7 1/4 hours additional TA support (weekly)

27 1/4 hours of teaching support for SATs booster

19 1/2 hours of TA support to deliver "Transition to High School" project

Funding for schools linking project and transitional work with Holy Trinity Primary School, Rochdale

Autumn Term 2014 and Spring Term 2015

Additional TA support:

Reception/Year 1 - 6 hours 40 minutes per week

Year 1 / Year 2 - 2 hours 45 minutes per week

Year 2 - 4 hours per week

Year 3 - 6 hours per week

Year 4 - 7 hours per week

Year 5 - 5 hour 45 minutes per week

Year 6 - 5 hours 40 minutes per week
