Lacey Green Primary Academy 3 Year Pupil Premium Strategic Plan (2019- 2022) Review Sept 2020 SUMMARY INFORMATION - Pupil Premium Strategy Plan As an outstanding school, Lacey Green has always provided high quality first teaching and ensured that all children are provided with the best opportunities and experiences. Over the past four years, a noticeable decrease in the numbers of pupils entitled to Pupil Premium funding has been evident. Despite this, school efforts to support this declining group have been maintained. Our funding for the last few years has been as follows: 2017 – 2018 : £96,620 2018 – 2019 : £69,280 2019 – 2020 : £61,360 A number of children entitled to the Pupil Premium ……. - have Special Educational Needs; - have limited early literacy experiences which impacts on early reading and phonics; - are looked-after (fostered) or have been adopted; - have low self-esteem or self-confidence; - come from families with low aspirations for attainment and have possibly had a slower start than others in learning basic skills; - have had limited support at home with early language, reading and writing - do not have opportunities outside of school to take part in high-quality enrichment experiences because of low interests, low aspirations or low incomes. We firmly believe that all children have the capacity to reach their full potential and are entitled to a high quality education. We are firmly committed to ensuring that teaching and learning meets the needs of all of our pupils. The attainment and progress of all vulnerable groups of pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, is carefully tracked and monitored. We ensure that this data is used to identify our priorities accurately and that support and intervention is appropriately allocated. Our aim is to close the gap in attainment between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged pupils. Over the past 3 years, the tracking and monitoring of Pupil premium funded children has developed and grown and has therefore impacted upon improving the academic outcomes of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities. The school recognises the impact that high quality interventions can have on the outcomes of struggling students. However, while interventions at lacey Green may well be one part of an effective Pupil Premium strategy, these are deployed alongside constant efforts to improve quality first teaching, and address wider barriers to learning, such as attendance and behaviour. Our school data and results shows that pupil’s join our school with a low level of attainment, compared to the National average, and particularly have low levels of oral language, communication and vocabulary. This is a barrier for many throughout the primary years. Using the EEF’s Guidance Reports (Improving Literacy in KS1, Improving Literacy in KS2 and, most recently, Preparing for Literacy) we will include a drive on closing the vocabulary gap in order to accelerate the progress of disadvantaged pupils. Some EEF Oral intervention research studies show slightly larger effects for younger children and pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds (up to six months' additional progress) with overall, costs being estimated as very low. School explicitly aims to develop spoken vocabulary work which works best when related to current content being studied in school, and when involving active and meaningful use of any new vocabulary. Similarly, approaches that use technology are most effective when the technology is used as a medium to encourage collaborative work and interaction between pupils. Lacey Green aims to fully utilise the above EEF research to inform its strategies and interventions thereby impacting upon progress of all pupils, including Pupil Premium pupils. Page | 1

Difference in punctuality has consistently been 0.1% for the past two years. Behaviour data Behaviour at Lacey Green continues to be outstanding. Any behaviour issues are picked up immediately LONG-TERM PLAN (3 YEAR TIMESCALE): KEY PRIORITIES 2019 - 2022: ‘Diminish the Difference’ for Disadvantaged Pupils High Attainment of all Pupils Attainment for Pupil Premium children is brought in line with that of other children thereby diminishing the difference. Pupils make the expected progress in reading, writing, maths and combined RWM at least. Attainment and progress across all cohorts is very good from the pupils’ starting points and the school constantly strives to ensure that all pupils receive the highest first quality teaching. The school continues to maintain the delivery of High Quality First Teaching across the school as the EEF Research that shows that First Quality Teaching generally leads to the biggest improvements in pupil progress for all pupils including those that are disadvantaged. The school funds a considerable amount of quality intervention programmes and by employing additional staff to support T&L. This includes a 0.5 Year 6 Booster teacher. The school provides continual CPD throughout the year, reviews the strategies used across year groups and across subjects, and therefore ensures that the most effective strategies are used, and those that are proven to deliver high levels of impact. Communication & Language Develop levels of oracy, communication and language across the school by: Tackling low levels of language and communication of Pupil Premium pupils on entry Improving the quality of vocabulary acquisition. This will improve pupils’ overall skills and access to the broader curriculum (Closing the vocabulary gap) which is a key development priority across the school and aims to develop and apply new vocabulary to a range of contexts. The development of vocabulary is one of the significant factors that have been proven to be relevant to childrens’ achievement and therefore this will be incorporated into the school’s development of Subject Knowledge Organisers. Pupil Premium Cohort Profiles Improve outcomes for all Pupil Premium by developing a personalised approach Develop Pupil Premium Cohort Profiles to support development, transition and attainment of each child Increase pupil voice and views Attendance & Punctuality Further increase overall average attendance and punctuality figures for all PP children by: Continuing to monitor and further increase average attendance and punctuality data of Pupil Premium pupils across the school, cohorts and individual classes, in comparison with national statistics; Continuing to tackle and improve unauthorised attendance.

PUPIL PREMIUM REVIEW - COVID-19 Update (September 2020) This document was reviewed in September 2020. A full assessment of needs will take place at the start of the Autumn term to identify support needed due to COVID-19 and the school closure. All schools in England were affected by the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020. Throughout the whole period of closure (including holiday time), Lacey Green Primary Academy continued to provide care and support for the children of Key Workers and our most vulnerable pupils. As a school we recognise that disadvantaged pupils’ learning is likely to be adversely affected by school closure and Lacey Green worked incredibly hard to mitigate this during this period. We provided Home Learning activities, both online (and in paper-based format for specific children). We were aware that internet access was problematic for some families and endeavoured to provide support where this was the case, e.g. learning packs sent to pupils’ addresses. We kept in regular contact with all of our families and monitored pupils from the most vulnerable families. Staff went above and beyond to support families, this included for some families: providing a Free School Meal (some of which were delivered by staff to their homes) and working with additional services such as social care, health teams and education welfare to ensure that families were supported. Since the beginning of June 2020, following DfE and Cheshire East Local Authority guidance, additional children began to return to school. Staff worked very hard to ensure that these returning pupils were safe and happy in their bubbles. Our top priority was to address their social and emotional needs and to ensure that any anxieties about returning to school were minimised. With this in place and all pupils returning to school in September, we will identify any attainment gaps which have come about during the lockdown period, particularly so for disadvantaged children. Following the 2020 lockdown, we will prioritise addressing gaps for all pupils, particularly those PP pupils who have gaps in learning. Exceptional support will be provided to pupils via our enhanced staffing ratios, with bespoke interventions at the point of need. All Pupil Premium pupils who are at risk of not performing at the expected standard will be tracked closely and robustly monthly. Early assessment of all pupils, will ensure that each disadvantaged child will receive individual/small group input and feedback when they need it and at the level of their need, in order for them to make accelerated progress. One to one or small group interventions will be identified, planned for, adapted regularly and monitored closely to meet pupil’s needs. In the light of further potential disruption to face to face teaching, more vulnerable families will be offered the opportunity to loan either a school laptop or iPad in order access our online Home Learning. A Home Learning support helpline will also be set up in order to help families to access the platforms used to deliver this. Given the impact of Covid 19 and the national lockdown, a review of the impact of Pupil Premium Grant from September 2019 to February 2020 will be included in the next review of the Pupil Premium 3 Year Strategic Plan in September 2021. Our 3-Year Strategy will be scrutinised by our Governing Body in November 2020. We are confident that the reviewed plan will enable us over time to implement our carefully chosen evidence-informed strategies that will result in a closing of existing attainment gaps. The new 3-year plan will continue to be regularly reviewed in each year of its cycle. Page | 11
