How will we measure the impact of the Pupil Premium?

To monitor progress and attainment our termly cycle of data collection will be used to enable the early identification of need, support and appropriate intervention. Pupil Progress Review meetings take place every term and include two members of Senior Management, Teachers and TA's.

Every term the school will review the impact of actions taken and will plan for how the funding will be specifically allocated over the following one. When selecting children for Pupil Premium targeted groups, the school will look at all pupils across the school. There are some pupils who are not eligible for Pupil Premium who will benefit from these groups if their needs are similar and we believe progress can be made towards individual targets.

Pupil Premium Funding and the impact of this is a regular item on the Governor’s Resources and Premises Committee agenda.
