At Calverley CE Primary School, our vision is to provide the very best opportunities for all our children, and especially those who require our support the most, and we want all children to be successful learners and confident individuals.  We aim to prepare all children for the next stage of their education and for their adult life.  We aim to provide children experiencing disadvantage the same chances to succeed as their peers and diminish any differences in academic achievement and opportunity.

Evidence that supports this approach

Challenge number(s) addressed

Higher levels of adult support in class to ensure pupils have the support they need and teachers can focus on teaching

EEF Toolkit on the effective deployment of teaching assistants:

Teaching Assistants have additional time at the beginning of the school day to be fully briefed by the teacher and take a variety of roles including managing the needs of the class allowing teachers to engage in a concentrated way on the pupils most in need of their expertise.

Coaching approach to appraisal for all teachers to empower them to continuously improve their practice

Evidence shows that consistency of approach within a school is important for highly effective teaching.  Coaching and mentoring is a proven effective way to improve teacher quality long term.

Families with pupils eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant are supported with subsidised costs for trips and visitors.

The Ofsted Evaluation Schedule makes it clear that cultural capital and a broad understanding of the world in which we live is essential for children to achieve well.

There is also good evidence that a wide background knowledge is critical for good reading comprehension.

We know from previous pupil voice surveys in school that the enrichment experiences we have offered in the past have helped them to remember and make better use and more sense of the learning they have done in class.

Enrichment experiences also increase children’s enjoyment of school which has a knock-on impact on attendance.

Aim 1: To ensure by the end of Key Stage 2 there is no gap in attainment between those children receiving pupil premium and their peers peers: Our overall combined pass rate was 83%.  For the children in receipt of pupil premium the combined pass rate was 71%.  5 of the 7 children obtained the combined standard.  Although a gap in school is evident, our children in receipt of pupil premium attained combined at a rate 12% above the national average pass rate.  In other year groups gaps remain between the attainment of pupils in receipt of pupil premium.  In some cases, children in receipt of the pupil premium may also have SEND.  For all children not meeting national, progress is being made and interventions will continue to put in place for the 2022/23 academic year.

Aim 2: To ensure all children in receipt of the pupil premium have access to extra-curricular activities and holiday clubs, etc.

School has paid for any families requesting it, placements at holiday clubs, before and after school club.
