Embedding new curriculum structure around Assessment, Behaviour, Content, Differentiation and Engagement.

Use of INSET days and directed meetings being provided by senior leaders.

Targeted support

Subject interventions; targeted revision breakfasts; one-to-one mentoring sessions; pre GCSE booster sessions; one to one and small group literacy, numeracy and EAL interventions; sixth form mentoring; Year 9 options interviews; Year 11 guidance meetings for Post 16  and parental revision evening for Year 11s.

Consistency of staffing. Allotted timetable time for delivery. Communication between providers. PP students’ attendance to school and targeted sessions. Home/school relationship in supporting.

Wider strategies

Engagement of middle leaders to develop new curriculum models.

Developing parental engagement through better communication, admin processes and highlighting what the school offers in terms of assistance and opportunity. Conducting a KS3/KS4 Pupil Premium review internally.

Look at good and outstanding practice and provide models.

Senior Leaders being critical friends to Middle Leaders.

Outcome

Achieved with a 0.3 increase in attendance.

2017-2018 PP attendance 94% (95.8% Non-PP)

2018-2019 PP attendance 94.3% (95.5% Non-PP)

In 2018-2019 there was no difference between the number of authorised absences for PP and Non-PP students. In 2017-2018 was a 1.6% difference in Non-PP favour.

2018-19 saw more authorised absences for all students so the small increase from 22.4% to 23.6% is contextually not significant.

2018 to 2019 exclusion data revels that the percentage of PP student exclusions 65.9% to 50.6%

Partially achieved – results in English and Science were strong, notably for PP students with  English -0.10 and Science with -0.02
