Rivermead Primary School ‘There is very little difference in the types of spending reported on in the best schools compared with those that are judged as requires improvement or inadequate. However, the major differences are the extent to which leaders ensure that the funding is very carefully targeted at the types of activities that best meet the needs of their pupils, and the rigour with which these activities are monitored, evaluated and amended. ’ Pupil Premium Provisions at Rivermead Primary School Pupil Premium Network meeting Brian Prebble and Gemma Sloan 26.2.15 Background • School philosophy – achievement and success for all: social, emotional and academic. • Happy child, happy learner • Maslow’s hierarchy of needs • School’s hierarchy Action Planning • How do we measure progress of all pupils? • What actions and outcomes are successful? • What could be improved , developed and implemented further?

Taking an Evidence-based Approach q Whilst it is true that each school is unique, it is equally true that outstanding teaching and leadership and a relentless focus on improvement will make a real difference – whatever the context of, or degree of challenge within, the school. q We know this because there is compelling evidence which demonstrates that high quality teaching and leadership are vital in raising attainment . We also know that schools that are most effective in improving outcomes for disadvantaged pupils always use evidence about what makes a real difference to change their practice. A six-step process q Planning and Preparation q Self-evaluation q School Visit q Analysis and Challenge q Action Plan q Follow-up visit School Visit q Supporting the school to look more closely at the evidence which has led to the selection of each strategy as well as any evidence of positive impact, to identify where improvements can be made. q The visit can also be an important opportunity to gain cross-school buy-in to a renewed drive to make more effective use of the school’s pupil premium funding. Self Evaluation 6 Areas; q Focus q Barriers to Learning q Desired Outcomes q Success Criteria q Chosen Strategies q Evaluation of Impact Focus What is the current position at your school? q Where are the current gaps both within your school and compared to national levels?; use evidence of what works; focus relentlessly on quality teaching and learning What are the barriers to learning for disadvantaged pupils in your school? q Only when all of the barriers are known and understood,
