Ofsted Report January 2013 –

• Pupil Premium: How schools are spending the funding successfully to maximise achievement is the follow up to the report published in September 2012.

• The report can be found on the Ofsted website: www.ofsted.gov.uk

Successful schools shared the following characteristics:

• carefully ring-fenced the funding • focused on supporting their

disadvantaged pupils to achieve the highest levels

• analysed which pupils were underachieving and why

• drew on research evidence • understood the importance of all day-to-day

teaching

• allocated their best teachers to teach intervention groups

• used achievement data to check whether interventions or techniques were working

• made sure that support staff, particularly teaching assistants, were highly trained

• focused on giving pupils clear, useful feedback about their work

• ensured that a designated senior leader had a clear overview

• subject teachers knew which pupils were eligible for the Pupil Premium

• had a clear policy on spending the Pupil Premium

• provided well-targeted support to improve attendance, behaviour or links with families

• had a clear and robust performance management system for all staff

• involved governors • were able to demonstrate the impact

Less successful Schools:• had a lack of clarity about the intended impact of the

spending • spent the funding indiscriminately on teaching

assistants, with little impact • did not monitor the quality and impact of interventions

well enough, even where other monitoring was effective • did not have a good performance management system

for teaching assistants and other support staff • did not have a clear audit trail for where the funding had

been spent • focused on pupils attaining the nationally expected level at

the end of the key stage (Level 4, five A* to C grades at GCSE) but did not to go beyond these expectations

• spending in isolation• compared their performance to local rather

than national data• compared the performance of their pupils who

were eligible for free school meals with other eligible pupils nationally, rather than all pupils

• did not focus their pastoral work on the desired outcomes

• did not have governors involved

The Role of Governors in the effective use of Pupil PremiumAnalysis and challenge tools for schools-Self-review questions for Governing Bodies

A. Governors’ knowledge and awareness

B. Leaders and managers actions

C. C. Pupil’s progress and attainment

Overall, will governors know and be able to intervene quickly if outcomes are not improving in the way that they want them to?
