How do we use the Pupil Premium Grant at The Curzon CE Primary School?
Following close scrutiny of the successes and challenges of last year’s spending, an
analysis of the needs of children entitled to pupil premium in our setting and pupil
progress and attainment analysis, we plan to spend our pupil premium grant 2014-15
for the following:
Well-being group
Our well-being group in school supports children with social and emotional skills. We
employ a teaching assistant to work with these identified children who listens to as
well as give advice how to deal with issues.
Small group intervention sessions in Literacy and Mathematics
Pupil premium children are a group of children whose progress and attainment we
monitor very closely. If there are gaps in learning or children identified as requiring
accelerated progress, they receive one-to-one tuition which is funded by our pupil
premium money. We support a range of children which include those with learning
needs (in a specific area sometimes) and social/emotional needs by having a TA
working with them individually or in a small group. This group consists of pupils who
are progressing at a slower rate than their peers in mathematics and literacy. These
children are identified and reviewed via termly assessments by class teachers.
‘Reading’ Programme
To ensure that all of our children who are entitled to pupil premium have access to
daily reading with an adult either with a reading book or on the programme Toe by
Toe.
Enrichment activities
Pupil premium budget is used to subsidise school visits and after school clubs for
those children where payment is a barrier to participation.
