School contextual information
William Morris is a smaller than average-sized primary school with an above average number of children on roll known to be eligible for support through
the pupil premium.
During the academic year 2014-2015 there was significant instability in leadership at the school. As a result the overall effectiveness of the school suffered
leading to significant weaknesses in the achievement of pupils and quality of teaching. In May 2015 the school was put into special measures by Ofsted.
For the current academic year a Raising Achievement Plan (RAP) is in place for the school to focus on; establishing secure leadership, raising achievement
and improving the quality of teaching. As part of this plan, it is a significant school improvement focus to improve the achievement of disadvantaged pupils
at the school.
Following an external review of pupil premium provision at the school, school leaders have written a pupil premium action plan that has clear actions for
improving leadership, improving the school’s financial reporting of the pupil premium expenditure, raising achievement and improving personal
development, behaviour and welfare for children that receive pupils premium.
2015-2016 School Pupil Premium mission statement
At William Morris Primary School we strive for quality first teaching and learning for all our pupils regardless of their background or circumstances.
We have high ambitions and expectations for all our pupils and are determined all pupils are given the opportunity to reach their full potential. We use our
Pupil Premium allocation to be able to offer additional support for children eligible for pupil premium so that their learning and achievement is not
disadvantaged.
Ensuring good achievement and improving the quality of teaching for our disadvantaged pupils is a key part of our 2015-2016 School Development plan.
The allocation of funding and effectiveness of provision will be rigorously reviewed through the year. The school’s leaders ensure evaluation of its own
performance is robust. Tracking of progress over time for each pupil quickly identifies barriers to learning, so that teachers can develop sensible strategies
and interventions to promote improvement. The impact of interventions is analysed termly as assessment data is gathered and input / follow up are put in
place if an intervention is not having the desired impact. In 2015-2016, we will use a range of data to analyse impact of spending: End of key stage data
Phonics outcomes EYFS data Formative assessment Data Intervention analysis Outcomes of observations, work scrutinies, learning walks Stakeholder
feedback.
