PE at Peel Hall Primary School

Pupil & Sports Premium

Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium is allocated to schools in respect of disadvantaged children from low income families who are currently known to be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) and children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months. This applies to both mainstream and non-mainstream settings.

Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit to “close the gap” between children from disadvantaged circumstances and those above the low-income threshold – it is not linked to a specific child, but is to be used for overall impact. However, we are held accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support pupils from low income families.

Objectives

The key objective of the Pupil Premium Grant is to narrow the gap between pupil groups. As a school we have a good track record of ensuring that all pupils make good progress and historically there has not been a significant difference between the attainment of children who are eligible for Pupil Premium and those who are not.

Through targeted interventions we are relentlessly working to eliminate barriers to learning and progress. For children who start school with low attainment on entry, our aim is to ensure that they make accelerated progress in order to reach related expectations as they progress through the school.

Decisions regarding the use of Pupil Premium funding are always based on evaluation of the impact of any additional programme.

Main Barriers to Educational Achievement

Some of the barriers that might impact on a child’s educational achievement are:

A. Attendance below 95% and/or poor punctuality
B. Children start school at a lower starting point and so need to make accelerated progress throughout their time at Peel Hall
C. Speech and language development
D. Narrow experiences outside of school such as trips, music lessons and participation in physical activities
E. Low aspirations
F. Behaviour – pupils with specific social and emotional needs which affect their learning
G. Special Educational Needs

Types of Provision Provided by the Pupil Premium Grant

All our work through the pupil premium will be aimed at accelerating progress to move children to at least age related expectations in English and Maths.

The range of provision may include:

  • Reducing class sizes to enable more focused support within lessons
  • Non class based teachers and dedicated intervention specialist to provide intervention
  • Dedicated teacher for sports
  • Providing small group work or individual work with experienced staff members focused on overcoming gaps in learning
  • 2 x Full Time SENDCo's
  • Additional learning opportunities provided by Learning Mentors, Wellbeing Officers, TAs or external agencies
  • Providing additional experiences to enhance the curriculum and so broaden the opportunities available

Sports Premium

School Principles for PE and Sport Premium Grant Spend

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport offer. This means that schools should use the premium to: develop or add to the PE and sport activities that school already offers and to build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.

P.E. and sport play a very important part in the life of Peel Hall Primary School. We believe that P.E. and sport contribute to the holistic development of our children and, through participation, our children build and learn more about our key values such as respect, tolerance, team work and resilience.

Through monitoring of the impact of the Sports Premium spending, it informs school on the best way to spend the next years funding to ensure accurate next steps and sustainability.

How will you ensure the improvements made are sustainable?

To ensure that improvements we have made are sustainable we have appointed a Level 3 Teaching Assistant who will work alongside the PE teacher. The PE teacher will develop the skills of the Teaching Assistant so that more staff can deliver high quality PE lessons.
