Pupil Premium Policy and Grant Expenditure
Report to parents: 2013/14
Policy and principles behind the use of the Pupil Premium Grant.
Pupil Premium is allocated to schools for pupils that are currently eligible for free school meals, have been eligible for
free school meals at any time in the last six years (Ever 6 FSM), Adopted from Care, have been Looked After
continuously for more than 6 months and for children of service personnel.
At St Anne’s we recognise that not all pupils who receive free school meals are socially disadvantaged. We also
recognise that not all pupils who are socially disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals. We also
recognise that pupils to whom the pupil premium applies are not all low attaining pupils.
We use this funding to address any current underlying inequalities between children to whom the Pupil Premium
applies and their peers.
Percentage of children known to be eligible for PPG in 2014 was 24.5%.
(This now includes Ever 6 FSM pupils)
Principles
• We ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all pupils.
• We ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups.
• We reserve the right to allocate Pupil Premium funding to support any pupil or groups of pupils the school has
legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged.
• Pupil Premium funding will be allocated following a needs analysis which will identify priority classes, groups or
individuals. Limited funding and resources means that not all children receiving FSM will be in receipt of pupil
premium at any one time.
Provision
The range of provision for pupils could include:
• Providing small group work with an experienced teacher focussed on overcoming gaps in learning; e.g.
Reading Recovery.
• 1:1 support from teachers, teaching assistants and/or Learning Mentor.
• Additional teaching and learning opportunities provided by trained Teaching Assistant and/or Learning Mentor
or external agencies.
• All our work through Pupil Premium will be aimed at accelerating progress moving children to at least age
related expectations. Initially our main focus will be improving skills in reading, writing and maths.
! Pupil Premium will also be used to target efforts on pupils who have been identified as at risk of underachieving, New Arrivals and/or speak English as an additional language,
Special Educational Needs, including those with Social, Emotional and Behavioural disorders.
• Provision will not normally be aimed at pupils with an Educational Health Plan as funding for their needs is
already in place. Pupil Premium will be used if support is needed in addition to what is already in place.
• Pupil Premium resources may also be used to target able children on FSM to achieve at above age related
St Anne’s (Aided) Primary School, Royton
expectations.
Reporting
• The Governors will ensure that an annual statement of Pupil Premium expenditure will be made to parents and
published on the school website.
• The Headteacher and School Business Manager will report on in-year expenditure and its impact to
Governors.

Curriculum focus of PPG spending 2013/14
•
We continued to implement small group interventions across the school. This included interventions such as
precision teaching and BLAST. These were delivered by Teaching Assistants and teachers.
•
We funded and trained a teacher to complete Reading Recovery and children at risk of underachievement
were identified early and the programme implemented.
•
An experienced teacher provided ‘booster’ sessions in Y6 alongside a HLTA.
•
An experienced teacher provided additional phonics sessions in Y1.
•
We appointed a Learning Mentor to work with children where a specific risk of underachievement had been
identified.
•
We subsidised residential visits for pupils eligible for PPG to ensure they received the breadth of the
curriculum and enrichment activities.
•
We provided specialist equipment for pupils to ensure they could fully participate in all areas of the curriculum.
•
We bought in consultancy to improve provision in phonics, spelling, punctuation and grammar and raise
attainment in all year groups.
