Disadvantaged pupils achieved good results compared to the national average and a higher proportion achieved the EBACC gold standard qualification than national averages. Compared to national averages for disadvantaged pupils our disadvantaged pupils attain at a lower level. With regards to progress the school is in line with national averages and the progress of the disadvantaged pupils is lower than national averages. However disadvantaged pupils had a higher P8 score than national average for disadvantaged pupils. The progress of both groups was affected by the lower than expected progress in English. Summary The attainment of disadvantaged pupils in 2016 continued on an upward trend. The attainment of the Non disadvantaged pupils increased dramatically in 2016 and so widened the gap. Non disadvantaged pupils had a much higher attainment than national averages. Progress 8 continues to be an issue with disadvantaged pupils although they are making more progress than the national average for their peers.

Continue £3,500 Numeracy intervention for very low ability pupils in KS3 Mentoring withdrawal during lessons All pupils improved their numeracy test scores from the start of the program to the end. The minimum improvement was 20% the average was 42%. Numeracy booster sessions will continue as above however we will select more pupils from year 8 and 9. Peer tutoring will also take place amongst year 7 and 8 pupils which will only require the supervision of one teacher. The aim of the peer tutoring sessions are to raise confidence in maths amongst the PP students and as a result, a raise in mathematical competence is expected. £39,000 Numeracy improvement in KS3 and KS4 Numeracy support after school and during lunch Attainment gaps in all year groups between disadvantaged and others reduced by around 5%. Class teacher interventions will continue and PP students will be monitored more regularly Peer tutoring will run in both years 7 and 8 due to its success with the year 7 cohort. Both peer tutoring and one-to-one tutoring are recommended highly in the Sutton trust toolkit for raising attainment amongst PP students. The peer tutoring will be encouraged more as is it more cost effective than peer tutoring. £20,000 Literacy improvement After school reading clubs Continue to provide in partnership with the safe spaces on both sites. £11,000 Other approaches Desired outcome Chosen action/approach Estimated impact: Did you meet the success criteria?
