Impact of Pupil Premium |
|
The well being support for children from teachers or TAs has boosted mental well-being and self-esteem, enabling them to engage with others more effectively and positively impacting on their performance in the classroom. The children tell us they like this 1-1 or small group time away from the populated classroom and that staff will feedback relevant information to other key staff so they can continue to be supported. Overall our children have coped incredibly well with lockdown and feedback received from them and their parents/carers has been very positive in terms of support to meet both their mental well being and academic needs in as much as was possible. Many of our children across school made at least good or better progress in line with their peers up to the start of lockdown, although for some children we know that the impact of work done previously will take longer and for some children support may need to be revisited, while for others it may need to be introduced. Up to lockdown, the Pupil Premium children in KS1 had made progress from their starting point. Up to lockdown, the Pupil Premium children in KS2 had made progress from their end of KS1 attainment. Prior to lockdown our children also had access to breakfast club and items of uniform as well as workshops and educational visits to ensure equality of provision which enabled them to access the same experiences as non pupil premium children. Some of our children also accessed after school clubs. During lockdown our children were monitored and contact with parents/carers made, if not the children, on a regular basis. Admin time was spent to ensure access to food vouchers for the families of pupil premium children. Teachers made sure the children could access work and where this was not possible online, work packs were produced and handed out. |
