Our Pupil Premium Grant

Please read the information below which gives details of our Pupil Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.

Please note the 3 year strategy is currently being updated to take into account the ongoing COVID pandemic.  A revised strategy should be on the website in November.

Details of the effect of expenditure will be detailed at the end of year.

Catch Up Premium

For the financial year 2021-2022  £9400

The money received in 2021 was used in the summer for a teacher to support a group of children in Year 2 and for a teacher to carry out some support in KS2.  

For the financial year 2022-2023  £9400

Children identified as those most impacted on during the pandemic will be targeted.  Based on attendance and current/expected attainment.  These children will receive teacher support in small groups.  As with all interventions, baseline and exit data will be gathered and shared.

As with all our interventions, we will ensure that baseline and exit data are used in order to assess the effectiveness of the catch up spend.

Tutoring

At Forestdale we have been using the National Tutoring programme to support our children since the second half term.  With our partners Connexus, we have identified those children most in need.

HT3 - 6 Children in Year 5 - Maths

HT4 - 6 Children in Year 2 - Maths

Although still hampered by attendance of the children due mainly to Covid, the majority of children undertaking tutoring to date have made good or better progress from their starting points.
