Hambleton Primary Academy Pupil Premium Expenditure 2020/2021

What is Pupil Premium?

Pupil Premium Grant is available as funding for two reasons :

• raising the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and closing the gap with their peers
• supporting children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces

For the period 2020 to 2021 financial year, pupil premium funding is:
£1,320 for each eligible primary-aged pupil (FSM ever6)
£1,900 for Looked-after children (LAC)

Children who are entitled to pupil premium face challenges such as poor language and communication skills, lack of confidence and issues with attendance and punctuality. The pupil premium is intended to directly benefit the children who are eligible, helping to narrow the gap between them and their classmates.

Current Standards Throughout School (Whole School)

Due to the continuing success of our previous pupil premium strategy, and its positive impact on the attainment and progress of the children in receipt of this fund, we will continue to utilise Pupil Premium money in the same way as previous years.

Teaching and Learning

Hambleton’s main expenditure will be on our Learning Mentor who is there to provide support and guidance to help our children who are experiencing difficulties in learning due to social, emotional or behavioural problems. Our Learning Mentor helps our children overcome behavioural, social or emotional problems that are affecting their learning. One to one support staff

Curriculum

We will continue to design our new curriculum to reflect the needs and aspirations of our school and the assessment linked to the curriculum to ensure that we are closing the gap for disadvantaged children.

Enrichment

As well as continuing to provide free membership of extra-curricular clubs, we will provide additional clubs to improve and develop language and social skills to equip children with the skills that they need to be successful in life.

PSHCE (Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education)

We believe that learning starts with a child’s state of mind or mental health and in order for children to reach their full potential they need to have academic resilience. Through our engagement with our Learning Mentor and Trinity Counselling Services/Intervention groups, we seek to develop understanding of resilience across the whole school community and to establish systems to build ‘resilience approaches’ that support disadvantaged children over time, through a whole school approach.

Main barriers to educational achievement

We have very few barriers to educational achievement amongst our PP children and non-PP children on the whole. The few challenges we have include;

• Low income
• Poor home learning environment

How we will measure impact

• We will continue to close the gap for educational achievement, compared to non-PP peers. (Resilience questionnaire/analysis and observations).
• We will have resilient children ready to begin the next stage of learning. (School data 2020).

How the money will be spent 2019/2020

Due to the success of our previous pupil premium strategy, and its positive impact on the attainment and progress of the children in receipt of this fund, we will continue to utilise Pupil Premium money in the same way as detailed above.

In addition the money we are due to receive this year is going to be used to train support staff in order to deliver the Trinity Hospice counselling and support programme to Pupil Premium pupils requiring this intervention.
