DfE - Accountability • The government believes that head teachers and school leaders should decide how to use the pupil premium. They are held accountable for the decisions they make through: – the performance tables which show the performance of disadvantaged pupils compared with their peers – the Ofsted inspection framework, under which inspectors focus on the attainment of pupil groups, and in particular those who attract the pupil premium – the reports for parents that schools have to publish online • Schools decide how to use the funding, as they are best placed to assess what additional provision their pupils need.
Displaying the information on the website • How schools present the information in their online statement is a matter for each school. There is certain information that must be in the report: – the school’s pupil premium allocation in respect of the current academic year – details of how it is intended that the allocation will be spent – details of how the previous academic year’s allocation was spent – the impact of this expenditure on the educational attainment of those pupils at the school, in respect of whom grant funding was allocated.
Quick survey of 15 IOW schools websites- Pupil Premium March 2014 • 15 schools • 4 no information on website • 2 with out of date information • 9 with information – 2 of which were excellent
Survey of all Isle of Wight Schools March 2015 • Most schools (42/50) mentioned Service and CiC… But it really is only a “mention”, usually as part of the general PP description. • Some (15) schools have removed their 2013-14 data • Some schools have good 2013-14 data but have not tackled the current year (some only give a simple list of interventions) • 33 schools list the interventions they have in place for 14/15 but only 20 schools outline what the intended impact is • Only 28/41 primary schools state what they are doing with Sports Premium • Only 3 of secondary schools state what they are doing with Year 7 Catch Up money • Most schools do not have a clear “Pupil Premium” link on their Home page. • Only 43 schools have a SEND statement • PSHE statements are rare although many schools have clear SRE and Nutrition policies posted

John Dunford’s Pupil Premium Reviews • Dr John Dunford’s Review document 2014 • This new guide has been developed by the Teaching Schools Council working with Sir John Dunford, National Pupil Premium Champion. • It has been developed for system leaders and school leaders • It provides a rigorous and tested framework which reviewers and supported schools can use to make the most of a pupil premium review • It sets out a simple, six-step process for a review, including self- evaluation by the supported school and the creation of an action plan for the school by the reviewer. • There are also case studies from a reviewer and three schools that have previously commissioned reviews.
Evidence from Ofsted (Jan 2013) : successful approaches • PP funding ring-fenced to spend on target group • Maintained high expectations of target group • Thoroughly analysed which pupils were under-achieving + why • Used evidence to allocate funding to big-impact strategies • High quality teaching, not interventions to compensate for poor teaching • Used achievement data to check interventions effective and made adjustments where necessary • Highly trained support staff • Senior leader with oversight of how PP funding is being spent • Teachers know which pupils eligible for PP • Able to demonstrate impact • Involve governors
Factors considered by inspectors • Quality of the school’s analysis of the performance and needs of PP pupils • School rationale for spending PP funding • Appropriateness and level of challenge of school’s success criteria • Robustness of monitoring and evaluation • Level of involvement of governors • Level of involvement of pupils, parents and carers • Impact on narrowing the gap
What inspectors are looking for • Before the inspection, RAISE Online is studied for evidence on gaps: – How well did FSM pupils attain last year in comparison to other pupils in the school and nationally? – How much progress did FSM pupils make last year compared to other pupils in the school and nationally? – How well have FSM pupils been performing over time? Is attainment rising? Is the gap narrowing? • PP pupil tracking by inspector • Discussions with PP pupils, parents, staff and governors • Study of effectiveness of PP spending strategies • Study of effectiveness of leadership in monitoring and evaluation • Governor involvement
