Year 6 Summer School
Appointed intervention teachers for English and Maths to work 5 days per
fortnight with target cohort across all keystages
Used LSA to deliver before and after school intervention with year 7 and 8
weak readers.
Y7 reading scheme
Year 6 Summer School – 37 students accepted invitations for the Summer School (54
had been invited). The school ran as a Core Summer School, led by HOF of English,
Maths and Science. The students took part in a variety of activities to promote
engagement and attainment. The effect of the Sumer School can most clearly be seen in
English with 59% of the cohort achieving 2 levels of progress in comparison to the 44%
achieved by those who did not attend, this is in comparison to the 74% achieved by non
FSM students.
In English and mathematics the intervention teachers worked successfully with the
target cohorts, however in math the teacher had to assume a fulltime teacher of maths
role due to staffing issues.
In English 69% of the targeted cohort in year 7 achieved a minimum of one level of
progress as a result of the intervention, in year 8 75% of the targeted cohort achieved a
minimum of 2 levels of progress as a result of the intervention.
LSAs were used to support before and after school reading intervention (paid for
additional hours out of PP). 100% achieved 2 +levels of progress in year 8, in relation to
their end of year 7 result, with 86% improving their reading age by 6+ months.
In year 7 73% achieved the minimum of 1 level of progress in English after the 1 st term
of reading intervention, however the most progress was seen in term of reading ages
with 77% of the cohort improving their reading age by the minimum of 9 months.
Objective
3. Engagement: to improve curriculum engagement and academic achievement for FSM and
CIC students


The pupil premium was used to support and develop intervention, intervention
strategies and the guidance and support, provided for students at The Heath, in order
to maximise attainment and to reduce barriers to learning.
It was focused on targeting students whose attainment would ultimately affect their
life choices and thus focused on the core performance indicators of 5 A*-C including
English and Mathematics , as well as those students in public care

Narrowing the gap 2012 - 2013
By effectively targeting support and intervention in English and mathematics for FSM students
alongside integrated school systems designed to benefit all students The Heath has improved levels
of attainment for all students, whilst at the same time narrowing the attainment gap – although all
GCSE data is unvalidated.
The strategies outlined above are only a sample of the work undertaken last year as The Heath
strives to ensure that every student makes sustained progress.

As part of the school’s commitment to narrowing the attainment gap, research was undertaken in
school with a focus on managing intervention strategies for disadvantaged and vulnerable pupils.
This was part of a wider National College project (Test and Learn), considering how the gap was
being narrowed in other schools nationally and trialling commercial strategies to evaluate which has
the greatest impact. The research has been used to inform and will continue to inform, proposed
spending and initiatives aimed at narrowing the attainment gap in GCSE outcomes for Pupil Premium
students and their peers.
