In this session we will aim to: Share the methodology behind Oriel High School’s use of Pupil Premium funding Share details of the interventions and approaches used at Oriel - what worked and what didn’t To provide ideas for strategies to aid your own focus on Pupil Premium students both in the classroom and beyond Identify how whole school improvement approaches can be influenced by what we do for this cohort

What is it about? Created to tackle ‘educational inequality’ Allocated to schools ‘in addition’ to their budget Funding to tackle disadvantage, reaches the students that need it most A good education is the key to improving life chances

Data on Disadvantaged Students For the first time the data breaks down school performance for different ability groups and those from different socio-economic backgrounds. It shows that only a quarter of children, who are classed as having low attainment by age seven, go on to reach the expected level in English and maths, Level 4, by the time they leave primary school

Data on Disadvantaged Students

Percentage of Key Stage 4 pupils eligible for free school meals attaining the GCSE benchmark by secondary schools, in deciles from low to high proportions of pupils eligible for free school meals Data based on 2012 Key Stage 4 validated data. Figures represent all open secondary schools that have had a published section 5 inspection as at 31 December Schools with percentage figures exactly on the decile boundary have been included in the lower decile.

KS4 outcomes % of all West Sussex children achieved 5+ A*-C including English and Maths at the end of Key Stage 2. National Average was 60.6% 34% of FSM children achieved this. National Average is 41% 19.6% of children who are looked after achieved this. 45% of Pupil Premium children also have special educational needs (SEN)

Additional per pupil funding for PP – £488 per pupil – £623 per pupil – £900 per pupil (+£53 primary) – £935 (secondary) £1300 (primary) £1900 (Looked after children ) Total PP funding – £625 million – £1.25 billion – £1.875 billion – £2.5 billion 8 Pupil Premium – The Funding

Oriel Context Oriel has currently 149 (13%) eligible students in Yr7- 11 on roll We received circa £30k 2011/12 £75k 2012/13 £130k 2013/14 & £152k in 2014/ = £161k ………….it has been a growing fund! Standards – 30% PP cohort 5 A-C GCSEs incl E&M (39% N Avg) – 30% PP cohort made expected levels of progress in English (54% N Avg) – 29% PP cohort made expected levels of progress in Maths (51% N Avg)

Evidence from Ofsted: successful approaches PP funding ring-fenced to spend on target group Maintained high expectations of target group Thoroughly analysed which pupils were under-achieving + why Used evidence to allocate funding to big-impact strategies High quality teaching, not interventions to compensate for poor teaching Used achievement data to check interventions effective and made adjustments where necessary Highly trained support staff Senior leader with oversight of how PP funding is being spent Teachers know which pupils eligible for PP Able to demonstrate impact Involve governors

Moving Forward Senior Leaders taking greater ownership and having clear oversight of PP funding and its use. Strategy Agreed – Identification of Needs – Personalised approach to intervention ‘Team PP’ created – builds on existing strengths of OHS pastoral system – Deputy Pastoral Leaders – ‘know the students’ – Regular Meetings, collaboration, sharing ideas

Identification of Needs Deputy Pastoral Leaders meet with all PP students in their community to discuss a range of aspects of their school life and progress Students given opportunities to talk about their strengths, concerns and how they think the school could support them. Barriers to success identified Common themes used to plan interventions for groups. All parents were contacted about PP and given the opportunity to talk to school and suggest ideas that might support their son/daughter

ACTIVITY Luke and Hannah Study the two students and their contexts Identify needs and potential barriers to success Suggest Interventions

Interventions Group Interventions and ‘bespoke’ Interventions 1:1 Tuition – Maths, English, Science On line science tuition Life Coaching Laptops Transport Revision Resources Mentoring Enrichment – trips, clubs, music lessons

Impact and Evaluation Referral forms for all Interventions Provision Map Writer – Log entry points and success criteria – Record Interventions – Evaluate success against criteria Progress Updates – Go4Schools – Attendance Review of Intervention success – Learn from research and experience

Building on success Intervention Coordinator appointed More structure, systems and rigour placed around referral and evaluation Mentoring – a developing initiative

OHS – Narrowing the Gap
