Strategy aims for disadvantaged pupils (2021-2022)
| Priority 1 | to improve attainment and progress in Mathematics by further embedding the mastery approach to teaching to provide additional teaching support to enable us to teach Year 1 and Year 2 separately for maths (previously taught as mixed-aged classes) |
| Priority 2 | to improve attainment and progress in Writing by changing our approach to teaching, working through quality texts |
| Barriers to learning these priorities address | 1. children not feeling secure in their grasp of a set of maths skills before they move on to a new topic 2. children not feeling they are writers and not writing naturally |
| Projected spending | Partial cost of additional teaching support cost £3000 Cost of additional practical equipment for mathematics £3000 (funded by PTA) Cost of training for staff (writing) £1000 (paid from Recovery Premium) |
Teaching priorities for current academic year (2021-2022)
| Aim | Target | Target date |
| Progress in Reading (1 child) | More than expected | July 2022 |
| Progress in Writing (1 child) | Expected | June 2022 |
| Progress in Mathematics (1 child) | Expected | July 2022 |
| Phonics (1 child) | Pass | June 2022 |
Targeted academic support for current academic year (2021-2022)
| Priority 1 | Provide small group maths interventions following on from end of unit assessments to ensure children have mastered learning from that unit and are ready to progress |
| Priority 2 | Provide Learning by Questions software to junior classes to increase personalised learning in lessons and for homework |
| Barriers to learning these priorities address | 1. children not feeling secure in their grasp of a set of maths skills before they move on to a new topic 2. children needing further consolidation or extension in their learning |
| Projected spending | Partial cost of TAs for interventions £8,593 (equivalent to 13 hours per week across school) Learning by Questions £1,000 |
Wider strategies for current academic year (2021-2022)
| Priority 1 | Embed the work of the pastoral team (PS3) to improve children's mental health and readiness for learning |
| Priority 2 | Introduce CPOMS for recording and analysing safeguarding / behaviour issues to improve children's mental health and readiness for learning |
| Barriers to learning these priorities address | Children not "ready to learn" due to worries or concerns they have (mental health) |
| Projected spending | Partial cost of PS3 team £3,519 CPOMS £683 |
Monitoring and Implementation
| Area | Challenge | Mitigating action(s) |
| Teaching | Ensuring enough support is given to staff to develop the new approaches | INSET days and staff meetings allocated 1:1 support given by Maths and English subject leaders |
| Targeted support | Ensuring time for interventions is prioritised and protected | Protect time by changing timetable so that regular intervention slots are timetabled. Monitoring and evaluation of all interventions (time allocated for this within staff meetings) |
| Wider strategies | Ensuring that PS3 team have the information provided by staff through CPOMS | Regular meetings between PS3 team and Designated Safeguarding leads to discuss |
