The money has been used to:

• Continue to provide specialist support for reading recovery for children on a one to one basis.
• Provide Team Teaching, focused intervention strategies to raise standards.
• Provide subsidies for educational visits including year 6 residential.
• Continue to provide the successful pre-school and popular lunchtime sport activities.
• Provide specialist support for speech and language for target children.
• Homework clubs and Holiday club revision classes.

All pupils have been able to take part in an increasing variety of educational visits and curriculum enrichment opportunities which engage them in their learning. We use pupil premium to identify children on FSM and target their learning and progress.

The progress of pupils in receipt of ‘Pupil Premium’ funding is monitored very carefully.

For example, we use some Pupil Premium funding to improve standards on reading.
