The closer you were to the recycling bin, the better your odds.This is what privilege looks like. Did you notice the only onesthat complained about fairness were in the back of the room?
Your job as teachers is to be aware of your privilege and usethis to help others achieve great things, all the whileadvocating for those in the rows behind you!
What is Pupil Premium?Wilmslow High School welcomes the national focus on ‘raising theachievement of disadvantaged children’ since we have a clear andpersistent gap in attainment at GCSE level. Based on analysis wehave identified the following indicators of ‘disadvantaged’students most at risk of poor attainment.
• 1) students on FSM, SEN or school support.
• 2) students with less than 90% attendance, and in a deprived postcode.
• 3) students with more than 1 fixed term exclusion in a year.
• 4) students who have low effort grades and in a deprived postcode.
Funding for 2014 to 2015For children registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years:• £1,300 for primary-aged pupils • £935 for secondary-aged pupilsSchools will also receive £1,900 for each looked-after pupil who has been looked after for 1 day or more

Why do we need to focus on it?
DFE: We also hold schools to account through performance
tables, which include data on:• the attainment of the pupils who attract the funding• the progress made by these pupils• the gap in attainment between disadvantaged pupils
and their peers
• Ofsted inspections report on how schools’ use of the funding affects the attainment of their disadvantaged pupils.
Why do we need to focus on it?
Example
• GCSE English Language
• Number of levels of progress:
• 2013-14 = 22%
• 2014-15 = 20%
• Each PP student we can move to 3 levels of progress closes this gap by 2%

Supporting Pupil Premium Students in the Classroom
Toolkit of Strategies to Improve Learning Summary for Schools
Spending the Pupil Premium By
Professor Steve Higgins,

BEFOREHAND
Know who your PP students are • Identify PP students via the ‘Essential Information’ tab.
Enter this information into your planner and seating plan Seating Plan• Which position in the classroom will enable the student to
work to the best of their ability?Literacy Awareness• Are you aware of the P.P. students’ reading ages? If this
information becomes available we believe it will become a vital tool
Clear Targets / STATS Established • Ensure the student knows what they should be aiming for
and how they can get it
DURING
Group roles
• This is an effective way of developing the independence of a PP student, whilst also ensuring they have a clear role to play within lessons
Force visibility
• No hands up during questioning / ensure the PP student is used to having a prominent role
Effective Feedback
• Give the students time to reflect and act upon your comments
• How do you get there: action plan for struggling students
AFTER
Accessible Homework Tasks• Can all students access the piece of homework
effectively? Subject Intervention• Study support, subject report, L3 homework referral,
homework drop-inUse of Ifs Mons• Log any interventions you make so other departments
can judge their involvement on this information –joined up thinking
Parental/Guardian Engagement• Positive phone calls home, text home, praise postcards,
note in planner
WHS Top FiveClassroom Strategies
1. Ability grouping“The evidence is consistent that though
there maybe some benefits for higher attaining pupils in some circumstances (e.g. gifted and talented programmes), these are largely outweighed by the negative effects on attitudes for middle and lower performing learners”
The Sutton Trust
1. Ability Grouping: Solution
• Avoid grouping students together in a ‘hierarchy’ of ability
• An integrated seating plan is more effective if it is specifically utilised for group learning
• Annotate your seating plan: PP students, GT, target grade, etc.
• Consider Kagan strategies (see Vicky Littler for more information)
• Employ carousel activities (or Jigsaw activities if you speak Meta-cognition)
2. Effective Feedback: Application
• ‘The most cost effective way of spending the Pupil Premium would be on more effective feedback in the classroom’ The Sutton Trust
Providing children with feedback on their performance can be very effective when it is focused on:
• challenge, tasks or goals• what is right rather than what is wrong• encouraging the student and building self-esteem.
Time should be made for feedback, as all too often pupils are not given time to read and understand written feedback on their work. Teachers need to train pupils to identify their own strengths and weaknesses and develop a culture of self-review.
2. Effective Feedback: Strategies
Set a regular routine in your lessons for Reflection Sessions in which students could: • re-work homework and act on your feedback. This, then,
will be remarked. • Every half-term write a Reflection Summary in which
students state how they have done, why they have achieved this and what they can then do to achieve their STAT
• From this they can create an action plan for the next term. This, then, can be commented on in the next reflection summary
• These summaries are best completed in the back of exercise books
3. Building independence and self-regulation
“Teaching children strategies to motivate themselves and plan and monitor their own learning can be a high-impact approach to raising the attainment of disadvantaged children” The Sutton Trust
Strategy to consider include:
• peer-tutoring and coaching with learning mentors –helping develop independence and children’s confidence in solving their own problems.
4. Learning to Learn: Meta-Cognition
• The Education Endowment Foundation defines meta-cognition in the following way:
• Meta-cognitive strategies (sometimes known as ‘learning to learn’ strategies) are teaching approaches which make learners think about learning more explicitly. This is usually by teaching pupils specific strategies to set goals, monitor and evaluate their own learning. Overall these strategies involve being aware of one’s strengths and weaknesses as a learner, such as by developing self-assessment skills, and being able to set and monitor goals.
• Low cost, high impact for PP students
• See Karen Yates (English dept.) for further information on Meta-Cognitive approaches
5. Homework
• Make sure it is accessible
• Ensure it is planned to consolidate classroom learning
• Focused on targets – get student to choose a target from their list and attempt to master it during this HW
• Use it for behaviour management – a way of monitoring a student’s focus
What is the school doing to support Pupil Premium Students and Staff?
The Education Endowment Foundation has produced a teaching and learning toolkit to help teachers and schools effectively use the pupil premium to support disadvantaged pupils.
