Penn Wood Primary and Nursery School, Penn Road, Slough, SL2 1PH
Pupil Premium
Priorities: 'Better Never Stops'
Priorities are driven by:
| Observation of the children and their needs |
| Data analysis at school and national level |
| Review of the last plan and best value |
| Research e.g. Hattie, Sutton Trust and ‘Transforming Writing’ (National Literacy Trust) |
As a consequence, the intended outcomes of our current strategy plan are:
| Improved reading attainment among disadvantaged pupils |
| Children read widely across the curriculum, learn the curriculum and therefore make progress |
| Improved writing attainment among disadvantaged pupils |
| Improved attainment (GLD) |
| Consistently strong attainment in phonics |
| Reduction in persistent absenteeism |
| Good levels of wellbeing |
The school feels confident that these priorities will also serve to prepare the children for the New National Curriculum, which is a ‘mastery’ curriculum.
This statement details our school’s use of pupil premium funding for 2021/2022 - 2024/2025 (and recovery premium for the 2021 to 2022 academic year) to help improve the attainment of our disadvantaged pupils.
Main barriers to educational achievement faced by eligible pupils:
- Poor basic skills upon entry to school, particularly in Communication and Language, Physical Development and Social and Emotional Development
- English as an additional language
- Dyslexia type difficulties / poor phonological awareness and reading fluency
- Varying parental capacity to support learning
- Limited knowledge of the world
- Gaps in early mathematical knowledge
- Speech and language difficulties
- Social, emotional and mental health difficulties
- Digital divide
Our next pupil premium review will take place in May 2022 when our board of governors meet.
