Pupil Premium
EWPS PUPIL PREMIUM REPORT: IMPACT OF 2020/21 PROPOSAL FOR 2021/22
Context of Ellen Wilkinson Primary School
Ellen Wilkinson is a mixed primary school serving pupils from 3-11years. There are approximately 480 pupils on roll made up of over 90% ethnic minority pupils with a wide range of heritages and 47 different languages spoken. There are currently 13% of pupils with SEN and 70% EAL. In our last Ofsted in June 2019 we continued to be GOOD, it was however stated that “…the school has demonstrated strong practice and marked improvement in specific areas. This may indicate that the school has improved significantly overall. Therefore, I am recommending that the school’s next inspection be a section 5 inspection.”
Pupil Premium
The pupil premium is an allocation of funding provided to schools to support children who may be vulnerable to underachievement. The Pupil Premium is allocated to schools on the basis of the number of students on roll known to be eligible for Free School Meals or who have claimed within the last 6 years (Ever 6), as well as students who have been looked after continuously for more than 6 months by the Local Authority. Children of members of the armed forces are also entitled to this funding. All schools are required to report on the amount of funding and how it is being used. Funding is currently at £1,345 per pupil.
Principles
We organise teaching and learning at Ellen Wilkinson in order to meet the needs of all children in the most effective way. We allocate some of the Pupil Premium money to make sure all children have their needs met through quality first teaching. EWPS ensures that appropriate provision is made for children who belong to vulnerable groups, including our socially disadvantaged children, and that their needs are effectively assessed and met. We further support these groups using many strategies that are beyond the remit of the expenditure report.
We recognise that not all children who receive the Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) will be socially disadvantaged, and we also recognise that not all the children that are disadvantaged receive the Pupil Premium grant. Given this, we carefully track how well Pupil Premium Grant children are achieving as a group compared to their peers at EWPS and nationally.
Pupil Premium Income
Due to the falling number of Ever 6, there has been an ongoing decline in PP income despite high social deprivation in the local area. However, the impact of the COVID pandemic has significantly increased numbers in receipt of Free School Meals, although this is not fully reflected in this year’s allocation as the autumn not spring census was used. It remains to be seen if therefore the government continues to fund PP at the current levels. Therefore, costs reflected in this report show PP contribution + main school budget contribution to ensure that initiatives that have shown significant impact can still continue.
