Pupil Premium Report for 2014 -2015
Introduction
The aim of this report is to outline the impact of the Pupil Premium (PP) spend at Orchard Primary school for 2014 -2015. Pupil Premium spending is integral
to the school’s drive to achieve the best outcomes all pupils who are eligible for free school meals and for looked after children (those in local authority care).
The PP spend contributes to the overall aims and mission of Orchard Primary School which:





has Islamic values at its heart
is a place where every child matters
is dedicated to the spiritual, academic and social development of all of its pupils
is committed to a rich curriculum and strong community partnerships
is building a firm foundation of Emaan for the pleasure of Allah and to promote lifelong learning
Principles Informing the Use of the Pupil Premium Grant


School provision should meet the needs of all learners
A range of factors can be used to categorise pupils as being socially disadvantaged, including those that are eligible for FSM and looked after children
(LAC)
Pupils eligible for free school meals sometime can have other factors that can be a barrier to learning (e.g. special educational needs)
The school strives to ensure that vulnerable and disadvantaged pupils have their needs quickly identified and addressed
The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) 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 free school meals will be in receipt of Pupil Premium funded provision at any one
time.
A high priority focus for spending of the PPG will relate to securing the best rates of progress for vulnerable and disadvantaged pupils
The school undertakes research to look at best practice examples (e.g. Sutton Trust toolkit on strategies that work) and evaluates the strategies
deployed at Orchard. This is to ensure that the funds made available to the school are used efficiently and are focussed on strategies that are
successful in achieving improved outcomes for learners.
Orchard School Context
Orchard is a one form entry school serving a deprived intake. It is positioned high in the upper quartile of the most deprived schools in Lambeth (top 25%)
based on eligibility for free school meals (FSM), inward mobility and pupils at earlier stages of English (Lambeth Schools Disadvantage Index).
FSM pupil numbers are high compared to the local and national averages. The vast majority of pupils come from a minority ethnic background and have
English as an additional language.
Pupils entering Reception include some with very little or no pre-school experience and a majority at an early stage of English.
There are 25 pupils per class, therefore cohort / group size and other factors (e.g. SEN) tend to have a stronger impact on the attainment and progress data
compared to larger schools.

Pupil Premium Grant allocation for 2014/15 amounted to: £152,100. 00
Key objectives underpinning the Pupil Premium Spending 2014/15
A key priority for the school is to achieve above national standards for all learners and narrow attainment gaps between different groups. In order to
achieve this a number of key priorities were identified at the end of the 2013 /14 academic year.
These included:





PP/FSM pupils across the school make good or better progress
The attainment gaps between PP/FSM and non-PP/FSM at the end of KS2 are narrowed
Ensuring that outcomes for PP / FSM at the end of KS1 and KS2 continue to compare favourably with national averages for this group
Attainment and progress for PP pupils at the end of KS2 is exceeding national averages in reading and maths and in line with the national
average in writing
Providing SMSC and PSHE support for PP / FSM pupils
