There were only 3 children eligible for FSM PPG in Year 1 this year. 1 of these pupils passed the Year 1 Phonics screening. The 2 pupils who did not will be
a priority to ensure that the pass the screening retake in year 2.
The Forces PP pupil passed the phonics screening.
86% of Year 1 pupils passed the Phonics screening, exceeding the outstanding school average by 4 %
In Literacy and Maths progress in KS1, where there is a difference between the progress made by non PP and PP pupils, the progress by both groups of
children is always at least expected.
The small cohort of PP children do particularly well in Year 1, especially in Maths ( +1.3 steps compared with non PP pupils). Maths was highlighted as a key
area to the addressed this year.
The discrepancy between progress of non-PP pupils is never more than -0.9
Year 2 and 3 have the highest number of FSM PP pupils in their year groups (7 in each)
KS1 reading APS for PP pupils is 15.6, 0.6 above National figures
KS1 writing APS for PP pupils is 14.1 , 0.4 above National figures
KS1 Maths APS for PP pupils is 13.9. This figure is slightly below national levels (1.1). The reason for this is that 1of the pupil has an attendance figure of
77.9, and had 32 days off school due to an accident. 57 % of the pupils achieved 13 APS or above, with 29% achieving 19 APS.
3 out of the 4 FSM PP pupils made the 2 levels progress expected from KS1 to KS2 in reading
100% of the FSM PP pupils made the 2 levels progress expected from KS1 to KS2 in maths
