Key Messages ..... “Today schooling needs to be much more about ways of thinking, involving creativity, critical thinking, problemsolving and decision-making.” ‘Pakeman found the challenges for improving outcomes for disadvantaged pupils are varied and there is no “one size fits all”. So they took a multi-strand approach together with rigorous tracking and assessment procedures so any gaps in pupils’ learning are quickly identified and addressed ‘. Relentless focus – even when lying in the bath ....... Should this be today’s event ? John Dunford :Key Messages Pupil Premium: the gap in 2013 The gap gets wider as pupils get older: – 19% gap (60%: 79%) in level 4 at 11 – 27% gap (38%: 65%) in 5A-CsEM at 16 Big variations between schools and between LAs – Level 4 gap: Newham 4%; Warrington 14%; Cheshire East 19%; Cheshire West 24% – GCSE gap: London under 20%; Warrington 30%; Cheshire West 33%; Cheshire East 38% – Attainment of PP pupils • Level 4: Camden 79%; Warrington 69%; Cheshire East 64%; Cheshire West 59% • GCSE: Tower Hamlets 63%; Warrington 41%; Cheshire West 37%; Cheshire East 31% Cheshire East is 140th out of 150 LAs for PP learners at KS4 The Priority had to be at Key Stage 4 and working across all our Secondary Schools So what has happened in our Secondary Schools since February ?

A range of Pilot projects – Maths Catch Up, PIXL, Collection of predicted data for current Year 10 and 11. CAMHS Pilot project – dedicated CAMHS staff working in targeted schools – primary and secondary. So what has we learnt from the intensive work with Secondaries ? Detailed report of initial findings available 5 key themes: Where would you judge your school against these themes ? Secondary Learning ....... 1.

All the PP resources ( and money) has not gone on the Secondary Sector. The commissioned service through the Aspirer Teaching School is significant and represents a real opportunity for all primary schools to benefit from the planned programmes of support – CEEP is CHEAP ! Interventions / programmes specifically for the primary sector will be available. Latest National messages on PP ..... Showing MEASURABLE IMPACT of PP funding and interventions. Strong push on externally validated PP Reviews Increasing push for evidence of PUPIL VOICE involving PP pupils. Evidence of schools pooling PP budgets – 66% PP monitoring & accountability : Governors John Dunford : 5 Questions Governors Need to Ask ? 1. Do we know where our achievement gaps are in our school ? 2. Do we ALL know who are PP learners are and know how the school is monitoring their progress ? 3. Have we accessed the evidence of what works to accelerate disadvantaged pupils progress ? 4. How are we planning and targeting activities for PP learners ? 5. How will we know our activities are having an impact ? ( what evidence are we gathering for Ofsted ?) Table discussions ...... A chance to discuss and feedback on issues raised : How do we learn from the work undertaken with our Secondary Schools ? Are there some real opportunities for more effective transition work focused upon Disadvantaged learners ? Have we got the Primary Offer right for schools ? Are the themes identified the right ones for us to prioritise ? What would you like to see within a PP CPD programme ? How do we ensure feedback and effective communication going forward ? Pakeman Primary School : 2013 PP National Winner Building Belief: a culture in which staff believe that ALL children can succeed – no excuses for underperformance and no “artificial ceilings”. They used Carol Dweck’s research on Mindsets to support children in developing ‘growth mindsets’ towards their learning. Data and Identification of pupils: all staff have been involved in analysing data and identifying pupils underachieving at any level, these children have then been targeted – not just lower attainers. Improving Day to Day Teaching: the Sutton Trust research shows that poor teaching has a disproportionately large impact on disadvantaged children, so Pakeman established a Team Leader Model (which places non-class based team leaders across each phase) to address any within-school variances and to increase the percentage of outstanding teaching. The impact of team leaders is carefully monitored. Increasing learning time: maximising children’s learning time by improving attendance and punctuality, providing earlier intervention (KS1 and EYFS) and extending learning out of school hours. Improving the effectiveness of interventions: using the Sutton Trust Teaching and Learning Toolkit for guidance on the cost and effectiveness of a range of interventions focusing on improving the quality of interventions. In addition to this, carefully monitoring the impact of existing interventions through half termly observations and assessment data. Increasing parental engagement: researching best practice in parental engagement, working towards achieving the Leading Parent Partnership Award and setting up targeted termly individual meetings for parents of underachieving children. As part of this work, extensive support was put in place to support parents in building knowledge and skills and to help reduce life stresses for parents.
