Impact of KS4 Interventions

In our Ofsted Inspection 2 and 3 May 2013, the following made up part of the Report:

‘The impact of the pupil premium is good. A wide number of interventions cover the needs of all abilities and are regularly reviewed. In 2012 students eligible for the pupil premium were five terms behind pupils nationally in English and 10 terms behind in mathematics. These interventions are rapidly narrowing the gaps. English is already on a par with the attainment of those students not eligible for the pupil premium. In mathematics the gap is expected to close in the next 4 terms.

Intervention groups are highly effective. The breakthrough group in Year 7, which helps students to catch up through Year 7 catch up funding, targets improved reading and writing skills. Motivation and aim higher groups are run for Year 8. Saturday schools every Saturday from September to June cater primarily for Year 11, but also Year 10 and recently Year 9. Nurture and learning-to-learn groups are successfully addressing behaviour and learning skills. The breakfast club provides specific support for students in English and mathematics who need a little extra help.

Data on student progress are regularly collected and analysed in increasing detail as part of the effort to close remaining gaps. Current data, incorporating banked results, show that a significantly larger number of students is expected to gain 5 A*-C grades, including English and mathematics, this year

The Headteacher has a focused picture of the school as a place which supports all students to achieve beyond their initial expectations. Together with the senior leadership team and governors, she has accurately identified areas for development and is successfully improving achievement and teaching to take the school forward. ‘

 Our results in 2103 saw attainment overall above the national average at 65% 5A*-C including Maths and English and our Pupil Premium Students achieving above the national average for the following:

School FSM	National FSM
84% making expected levels of progress KS2-KS4  SIG+	56% making expected levels of progress KS2-KS4
1013 Overall Value Added  SIG+	983.2 Overall Value Added
1003.7 English Value Added	998.5 English Value Added
1000.8 Maths Value Added	998.2 Maths Value Added
325.8 Capped total GCSE point scores SIG+	304.9 Capped total GCSE point scores
262.2 GCSE only capped point score SIG+	215.4 GCSE only
486.1 total point score SIG+	404.3 total point score
311.7 GCSE only total point score SIG+	235.8 GCSE only total point score

In addition our attendance for FSM students compares favourably with the National Average; but is something we wish to improve further as is our attainment figures for FSM/PP and closing the gap within the school. We continue to remain focused on achieving the best possible results for all our students.
