Wider Strategies for Current Academic Year
Measure

Priority 1
Improve links between the academy and local community, including residential, pastoral and business members.
Priority 2
To develop a range of enrichment opportunities before, during and after school.
Priority 3
Employ a Family Liaison Officer to improve the attendance of PPG students so that the PA of these children is less than the national average.
Barriers to learning these priorities address
Lack of access to enrichment activities, resources and support for achieving greater depth outside of the school environment.
Limited opportunities for exploring their community and the wider world.
Parental and community perceptions of the value of education and lack of confidence or experience which can prevent them from engaging with their child’s learning.

Monitoring and Implementation
Area: Teaching
Challenge: Ensuring a clear CPD plan for all staff and time allocated.
Mitigating Action: Clear CPD/PDM plan in place tracked across for the year.
Area: Targeted Support
Challenge: Ensure time is given to Middle Leaders to attend Maths Hub Meetings and to support other staff.
Mitigating Action: Cover in place via HLTAs (Training provided for these staff) and PDM time given to implement changes. Further support given by Curriculum Advisors.
Area: Wider Strategies
Challenge: Engaging with the wider community and ensuring a positive impact.
Mitigating Action: School Minibuses ensure costs are reduced for visits. Targeted pupils identified for extra-curricular clubs so that each PPG student attends at least 1 club.
Review: Last Year’s Aims and Outcomes
Aim
Outcome
1:1 tuition for Maths
Covid meant that this support was limited to Y6 so that bubbles were not crossed. Additional information was supplied to class teachers with limited impact.
Teaching Assistant Support
Some training took place, but a further strategic plan now needs to be implemented to ensure the training is targeted.
Reading Recovery Teacher
In place for this, but again limited due to Covid and bubbles. Phonics needs to be overhauled to ensure interventions are limited if the right QfT is in place.
