2015/16

We received £50,756 in Pupil Premium Funding.

At The Oaks we used the additional funding in the following ways:

• Provision of short-term intervention programmes for underachieving and disadvantaged pupils. This includes one to one interventions. In particular this year, we will use the funding to support Pupil Premium children in Year 1 who did not achieve a Good Level of Development (GLD) in EYFS.
• Employment of a Family Liaison Officer who also runs Nurture Groups to support the well-being of pupils in school and their families.
• Provision of enriching experiences for children through visitors into school as well as trips to outside facilities. These will happen at least once per term.
• Employment of a fully qualified Numbers Count teacher to deliver one-to-one teaching for our lowest achieving mathematicians. This has shown excellent impact on pupil outcomes in Maths over the last year.
• Provision of additional adult support at unstructured times of the day to enhance pupil involvement in physical activities and develop social skills, reducing incidents of conflict.
• Breakfast Club to ensure good attendance and readiness to learn.
• Any other additional provision which has been identified on an individual basis.

The main outcomes of this additional funding were as follows:
