Challenge

Mitigating action

Teaching

Ensuring sufficient release time for leaders and teachers to embed new strategies for most vulnerable pupils. 

Use of HLTAs and SLT cover across both schools to enable cross-working and shared good practice, increasing consistency. 

Targeted support

Ensure timetable has sufficient room for interventions, specifically 1:1 reading and pre-teach. 

Worship moved back to morning slot, freeing up teachers for pre-teach. Flexible start in the morning enables teachers to read with children.  

Wider strategies

Despite intervention, most vulnerable children may not improve attendance. 

Ensure use of outside agencies including EWO where appropriate, all adults in school build relationships with families. EHATs. 

Aim

Outcome

For disadvantaged children to make greater progress in writing to ensure that they reach the expected level or above.

Increased from 50% to 66% (small cohorts each year). No disadvantaged children attaining GDS in writing in EYFS or Y2 but 20% achieved in Y1. Continue momentum for current Y2 group as others showing promise. 

Enable more disadvantaged pupils to attain Greater Depth Standard in all year groups. 

This is not yet happening although some children in current Y2 are showing promise due to consistent high quality teaching last year. 

To embed the Maths mastery approach across the school to ensure swift progress and strong outcomes for all. 

Mastery approach in place and results have improved but not yet in line with national. Elements now introduced in EYFS. Current Y2 will be first year group to have 2 years of consistent mastery approach. This is showing in their outcomes which show improvements in GDS although EXP+ not quite in line with national. 

Children see themselves as learners and have the vocabulary to describe their own progress and next steps 

This has improved with work on oracy, focused feedback in classes, challenges adopting ‘Even Better If’ approach. Continue to embed. 

Careful monitoring improves attendance for PP children. 

Attendance improved from 94.76% to 95.28% but remains an area of focus.
