How did we use the Pupil Premium Funding 2013-14?

We used the funding of £86,707 to provide a range of support for the Pupil premium children. This support consisted of:

• We provided subsidized places at our school breakfast club before the start of the school day, to support children and their families.
• We provided subsidies to enable children to participate in school journeys and trips.
• Our SENCO provided a range of additional interventions in order for the pupils to achieve their full potential (reading and writing support).
• We have two additional Learning Mentors who are able to provide further 1:1 or small group work.
• We bought in support from the reading volunteer service so that we could give 1:1 targeted reading support together with a dedicated teaching assistant.
• We bought in support from external agencies and specialists in order to meet the needs of specific pupils.
• We supplied booster sessions at the end of the school day.

How well are the pupil premium pupils doing at WIX Primary School?

(Results measured in KS2 at end of 2013)

Table 1: Pupils Eligible for FSM.

The table below shows the attainment for our FSM pupils at the end of Key Stage 2.

Table 2: Comparison with the national average attainment

The table below shows that attainment of pupils entitled to Frees School meals (FSM) at Wix Primary School is better that the National average attainment for pupils who are entitled to FSM but also above the average of all pupils nationally at the end of Key Stage 2.

Table 3: comparing the progress of the FSM pupils.

The average child would be expected to make 2 levels gains between the end of key Stage 1 and 2. The FSM pupils at Wix Primary School are achieving higher than the national average for FSM pupils and all pupils nationally.

 Table 4: Narrowing the gap.

The table below shows the children who have achieved a level 4+ in reading writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2. It compares the Pupil Premium pupils with non at Wix Primary School. The information shows that in 2013 the pupils who were eligible for FSM did better or equivalent to pupils who were not eligible.
