Unqualified Teacher time and some Enhanced Staffing Ratios 

The school received £29,915 in Pupil Premium Support and £3,500 in Year 7 Catch-up grant. These grants are combined to employ a full-time additional unqualified teacher and to provide some support to our enhanced staff ratios in class. The unqualified teacher time provided specific individual or paired tuition in Literacy  and Numeracy using the class teaching focus for each area. The enhanced staff ratios provided more general in-class support for group and individual work in  using/applying Literacy and Numeracy skills.

The Literacy  and  Numeracy  outcomes  for  pupils  supported  by  these  grants  continue to be as strong as for the rest of the school and with some pupils remaining our highest achieving pupils.

The Deputy Headteacher oversees the arrangements for these pupils

Enhanced Staffing Ratios in Class

At the beginning of the academic year 2016-17 the Pupil Premium and Year 7 Catch-up grants were combined to continue the increase in support levels in class. In the Summer Term 2017 this approach was discussed alongside the merits of using individualised support and it was agreed to employ an additional unqualified teacher to go back to direct 1:1 and paired teaching.
