Summary of planned spending:
Each phase (EYFS/KS1/LKS2/UKS2) has an intervention TA, not class based, to support children’s development in reading, writing and maths. These sessions take place outside of the mathematics/English lesson, allowing identified children to have one-to-one/small group sessions with a trained TA addressing an area of weakness or building on skills.
Intervention programmes have been put into place for all children who need support – rapid reading, writing and maths. Ordering in study books for Y2 and Y6 children will also take place this year. These books will support the children’s development and readiness for the SATs tests.
Another key issue that affects children’s learning occurs when they have emotional or social disruptions at home or at school. Two full-time learning mentors and one part-time, have been working at the school for the past few years; this is partially funded through pupil premium due to a high number of PP pupils accessing this provision. Children’s mental health and wellbeing is paramount to lifelong education and something we value highly at PTM. As the need for this provision has grown, we have extended our provision further and expanded our team which includes an assistant SEN-co and a family liaison officer, all of which have a high level of involvement with these pupils. Not only does our family support team work directly with individuals and groups of children; they also involve the parents in a variety of areas to support them and their child’s learning. We offer a range of workshops for parents in phonics, cookery, on-line safety, EAL,restyle revamp and repair, school readiness, secondary school transition as well as family communication. ‘Family FUNS’ is a new scheme for parents, that were piloted in 2017/18. This aims to support parents and children with their social skills, communication and physical development. Through the diligence of the provision provided, we gained the ‘Parent Partnership Award’ in 2014-2015 which was also achieved in 2017-2018.
We are continuing to employ 3 extra MDAs, one in KS1, the other in KS2 and one extra MDA for the hall. We have found that less incidents occur in and outside during the lunch break, when there is greater supervision and intervention, therefore when children come back into the classroom they are ready to learn and settle down quickly. A daily lunchtime club has also been set up to help pupils who struggle with behaviour; this is currently proving very successful.
Poor attendance is directly linked to under achievement. Involvement of the Attendance Officer has been crucial in supporting the schools drive to raise attendance.
Homework underpins learning in class and can be a barrier to good/accelerated progress if this work is not completed, therefore to support pupils and parents with their homework activities we have implemented several clubs where children have the opportunity to attend and get support with their homework if necessary.
To support parents further with their morning routine we have a breakfast club which all children are welcome to attend. PP funding is used to ensure that all children with this entitlement can attend breakfast club for free and are personally invited. Pupils also receive a bagel every morning and funding is used to pay for kitchen staff.
