Southover CE Primary School
Pupil Premium Report 2020-2021
Introduction |
The Pupil Premium grant is designed to close any potential education attainment gap between children considered disadvantaged, in receipt of free school meals (or has been in the last six years) and looked after and adopted children and all other children. Schools decide on how they spend the PPG in a way that they feel will best support the raising of attainment and achievement of these children.
In 2020-2021, each child in receipt of free school meals (FSM) are allocated £1345 and looked after children (LAC) or adopted children £2345.
At Southover, we invest in Quality First Teaching and time-limited, specific intervention to endeavor to close the attainment gap. We also use our PPG to try to overcome any barriers to learning such as social, emotional and mental health needs (anxiety, low self-esteem, low-confidence). We also strive to ensure that no child misses out on extra-curricular opportunities because of their economic circumstances.
If your child does not have free school meals, but may be eligible because of your family’s income level, please contact the school office, in confidence, to register. Even if you do not take up the meals, the school will still secure the funding. Please note: This information is confidential and is always handled sensitively.

Review of expenditure All Reception children were screened in the autumn term using the Language Link screening programme. All children identified by the screening as needing support had sessions over the year. Three reception children started school with a speech programme from Speech and Language Therapy and received support throughout the week in one to one sessions to work on this. Children identified as having speech and language needs, either through SALT or school, throughout the school continued to receive small group or individual support until COVID 19 lockdown. Children who needed resources from school to continue their work are home were provided with these. The early identification and swift support ensured all children made progress whilst having the input in school. The screening that took place in September 2020 showed significant impact from the lockdown for children who previously at age related expectations for language, particularly year 1 children.

Review of expenditure Play Therapy - Annabel has worked with 6 children over the year, continuing during lockdown with 2 pupils. Positive results have been seen for all pupils and in November 2020 she will be able to work with 2 new children, whilst continuing with 4. Annabel’s closing reports show good progress considering the significant impact from Lockdown. We require more hours due to mental health and anxiety increasing lockdown and will be increasing counselling hours from November with Fegans to cater for 3 more children. Robins – Nurture – We were able to run nurture from September to the end of March with approx. 30 children attending across the week and one to ones. The children who attend value this time in their week – evaluated with pupil voice and parental feedback. Children’s progress is good, as evidenced through Thrive assessments. Lunchtime Club – Children either attend lunchtime on a voluntary basis or as a positive management tool for those children who find being on the playground too difficult. The provision is really valued by the children. Since lockdown, the lunchtime provision as it stood before has had to change to year group specific individuals or groups and is held in classrooms.

Review of expenditure This support was used to help with school trips and this is really valued by parents. In a normal year, the support towards the Year 6 PGL trip is invaluable. This year, due to COVID, this trip did not go ahead, along with several other educational visits. Music lessons continued online during lockdown so the support continued to help 7 children who would not otherwise be able to afford these lessons.

Review of expenditure The learning mentor role has been used to particularly target children who are vulnerable to under achievement due to a number of factors - academically and MHEW. The experienced and highly trained individuals have been invaluable in supporting children who struggle. Zones of Regulation has been introduced across the school and learning mentors have taken a lead on developing and supporting other TAs and teachers in implementing this. 1 to 1 sessions with particular children have been successful in giving the children the language and awareness needed to deal with their emotions and behaviour. Due the lockdown and the cancellation of SATs, the learning mentor role was not used for specific booster groups in Year 6.

Review of expenditure First Class at Number and Success at Arithmetic both ran for the first part of the academic year and progress was seen in sessions when analysing the data – beginning of intervention and end of intervention. Confidence in class mathematics was enhanced in most cases but due to lockdown, impact over time was disrupted. The subscription to RM Easimaths was very useful when we went into lockdown and all children had a login to access the programme at home. |

All children are having additional phonics and reading intervention. |
