The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011, and paid by means of a specific grant based on school census figures for pupils registered as eligible for FSM in reception to Year 11. For looked after children the Pupil Premium was calculated using the Children Looked After data returns (SSDA903). A premium has also been introduced for children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces. This service premium is designed to address the emotional and social well-being of these pupils.
The Pupil Premium is additional to main school funding and it will be used by this school to address any underlying inequalities between children eligible by ensuring that funding reaches the pupils who need it most.
The Principal and governing body have agreed a policy for Pupil Premium to guide the use of funds and to ensure that it represents value for money.
The Principal and leadership team will regularly and rigorously monitor, evaluate and review the strategies we have put into place for Pupil Premium and report to the governing body on its progress and impact
St James Church of England Primary School has looked carefully at the needs of each pupil and we have decided to use the following intervention strategies:

The above table shows that across every year group in KS1 and 2, on average, disadvantaged children perform better than non-disadvantaged with age related expectations (ARE). Disadvantaged children do not make as much progress as non-disadvantaged but this is not a significant difference. The gap between PP and non-PP progress has narrowed from the previous year. This data helps us to measure the positive impact that Pupil Premium spend has had on our disadvantaged pupils.

Other pupils outperform disadvantaged pupils in all subjects at the end of KS1 2018. However, figures for disadvantaged pupils are much improved from the previous year. Our disadvantaged pupils are broadly in line with disadvantaged pupils nationally but below other pupils nationally.
EXS+ = % of pupils meeting the expected standard or better
GDS = % of pupils reaching the greater depth standard

Disadvantaged pupils do not perform as well as other pupils at the end of KS2 (Year 6). The attainment of disadvantaged pupils has improved over the past three years. Progress data for this year group showed that disadvantaged pupils made better progress in reading, writing and maths than disadvantaged pupils nationally and better progress then other pupils nationally in reading and maths.
EXS+ = % of pupils meeting the expected standard or better
GDS = % of pupils reaching the greater depth standard
SUMMARY:
Using the evidence gathered through the school’s self-evaluation strategy has shown that the intervention strategies have been very successful and that they have had a very positive impact on the progress, standards and achievement of those pupils entitled to the additional funds.
