Pupil Premium 2019-2020

What is Pupil Premium?

Pupil Premium is a type of funding additional to the main school funding.  It is received from the government each academic year and is allocated to students under a few different criteria. These criteria are;

Those families who have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last six years. This is sometimes known as ‘the ever six’.

The amount received is £935 per eligible pupil.

Students are eligible for Pupil Premium Plus if they have left Local Authority care because of one of these reasons:

• adoption
• a special guardianship order
• a child arrangements order
• a residence order.

If a student has left Local Authority care and is eligible for free school meals, they just receive the Pupil Premium Plus money. (Not Pupil Premium & Pupil Premium Plus).

Those students who have been in local-authority care for 1 day or more are also eligible for Pupil Premium Plus.

The amount received is £2300 per pupil and this reflects the unique challenges these students face at school where they often struggle to keep up with their peers both at primary and secondary level.

The Service Premium gives schools extra funding to support children and young people with parents in the armed forces. Students attract the premium if they meet the following criteria:

• one of their parents is serving in the regular armed forces
• one of their parents served in the regular armed forces in the last 3 years
• one of their parents died while serving in the armed forces and the pupil is in receipt of a pension under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) and the War Pensions Scheme (WPS)

The amount received is £300 per eligible pupil.

All of these funding mechanisms are there to enable these students to:

• improve their levels of attainment and progress
• close the attainment gaps relative to their peers
• ensure equality of opportunity across the curriculum and beyond
•  

The amount of money to be received by Bishop Rawstorne for pupil premium this year was £100,800

Oracy:

• Oracy is a priority this year. For PP students specifically the focus will initially be about students ‘finding their voice’ through strategies such as Stand and Speak, and supporting physical oracy such as confidence, body language. Following on from this, throughout the year a cross curricular approach will support to develop oracy skills such as using formal Standard English, developing a range of connectives to develop and extend responses, sentence stems to structure responses, and developing skills in discussion and debate.

• Numeracy age data from the maths department – students using Maths Whizz on average showing a 2 month improvement in the very first data grab in October.
• Maths watch data available in Maths department
• SOW
• Literacy and Numeracy Group Registers

IDL half year scores available in school and published to parents – Average so far between 6 and 12 months reading and spelling improvements

NUMERACY

• Maths-Whizz is an online package used with Year 7 and 8 Numeracy classes. Students complete an initial assessment at the beginning of the year, which gives them a Maths age. Students receive a personalised tailor made scheme of work to follow for the year based on their weaker topics highlighted by the initial assessment.
• We have 14 students in Year 7 (4 Pupil Premium) who receive an hour of Maths-Whizz a week. We have 24 students in Year 8 (5 Pupil Premium) who received 2 hours of Maths-Whizz weekly.
• The aim of each week is to make three progressions, which will improve their Numeracy ability and therefore Maths age by the end of the year.
• We are able to see the Maths age students started with and their current Maths age. We are also able to see the progress each student has made with each particular topic. The aim of the resource is to bring all topics in line with their Maths age, so it will focus on their weaker topics first.
• More detailed data available – but not appropriate to share figures here – however all PP students accessing Maths Whizz have seen progress made
• MathsWatch is an online resource, which we use for Revision. Students are set a revision assignment on MathsWatch, which they have to complete, as homework, before their termly assessments. Assignments can comprise of 50-100 questions, which can take between 1 and 4 hours to complete. Students enter their answers online and receive immediate feedback. All students (Year 7 – 11) are expected to revise using MathsWatch, 86 Pupil Premium students in total.
• More detailed data available – however of the 86 students engaged only 15 were below 80% success rate in the autumn data grab.

On a need by need basis (identified by staff or parents) resources have been provided to complement and enhance learning and at the same give PP students the same opportunities as non pp counterparts.
• Y11 and Y10 revision sessions being well attended by PP students – all 11 Y11 PP students have bespoke revision timetable made for them – attendance at sessions well up on last year.
• Sessions being run daily in the maths department at lunchtime for all students
• The 2020 curriculum has led to a more enriched KS3 – Arts, Music to be integrated more fully into the KS3 curriculum leading to further opportunities for all students. PP is supporting all students with regards this – both financially and aspirationally.

• Homework sessions being run by all years and HOY are monitoring attendance at these. In 7 – 10 the students of concern have EITHER been at the HOY homework Club or have been at after school sessions run in the SEN department.
• To combat homework issues across the school and the PP cohorts to a homework club (p6) was run for a 5 week trial in Y7 – 9 in the first half of the Easter term:

• 10 students had fewer homework issues
• 1 stayed the same
• 4 had increased issues.

• Staff feedback was that it was a good experience and that it should continue – now looking at how to tailor more effectively and where to run next with it and when.
