Summary of PPG spending 2011/12
Objectives in spending PPG:
Set realistic objectives that focus on specific groups of pupils or subjects. If you want to focus on mathematics,
you may want to monitor progress in average point scores to show progress.
To raise the attainment of students in the core subjects (Maths, English and Science). The main focus groups
were:
1.
2.
3.
Students below Level 4 at KS2
Students with low reading age
Students on SEN register (School Action)
These students were taught in small groups which enabled them to receive targeted support. This was made
possible by using the Pupil Premium funding to employ an additional member of staff in the core subjects. The
funding also enabled the Academy to employ an EMA and Literacy coordinator and increase the number of
Teaching Assistants.
