Review of 2021-22 Expenditure

EYFS Outcomes

Intervention programmes continued to achieve strong gains when operating in school, once reopen. Speech and Language assessments were carried out using the Wellcomm Assessment Tool. Talk Boost and NELi programmes both produced accelerated data outcomes.

KS1 progress and attainment

Teacher assessments were made at the end of the academic year, following a significant second period of lockdown. The data has been compared with other schools using the FFT Aspire Dashboard. The results identify the children’s actual ability, rather than their potential, following lockdown.

In Y2, of the children eligible for the Pupil Premium, 10/11 made good or better progress in reading, 8/11 in writing and 9/11 in maths over the course of the Key Stage, this despite the two national lockdowns.

20% of the Y2 cohort had English as an additional language. 80% of them achieved the expected standard in reading, writing and maths.

Year 6 progress and attainment

When comparing teacher assessments with other schools using the FFT Asprire Dashboard, the average progress score in reading and maths for Pupil Premium children at the Academy was  2.6 points above all pupils nationally (DfE data). This was equal to the progress made by other groups of pupils in school.
