At Hawkshead School, we have a small number of pupils who are eligible for pupil premium funding.
Their progress and attainment, along with all the pupils in school is monitored and evaluated. Any
support that a child or family may need, the school will endeavour to support them with.
At this school, we have identified a number of potential barriers to learning that exist for our pupil
premium children. ;

• Low verbal reasoning ability, resulting in a difficulty to problem solve and apply learning across to new situations.
• Working memory and auditory processing difficulties.
• Limited concentration levels and a poor attitude to learning.
• Delayed social and emotional development.
• Delayed fine motor control and handwriting fluency.

Pupil premium grant money will be used to support children both academically and socially and
emotionally. A variety of strategies are being implemented in response to individual need.
School support over the last 12 months has included;

• In class support for literacy and numeracy.
• Small group booster work for numeracy.
• Small group focus work on auditory working memory and processing.
• Small group focus work on non-verbal reasoning.
• After-school maths booster club.
• Additional year group teaching for literacy and numeracy.
• 1-1 Reading Intervention programme.

Pupil Premium for the year 2019/20- £3960.00

The impact of our intervention and support work is measured using;

• Termly tracking of progress in core curriculum areas.
