Measuring the impact of the Pupil Premium Grant in school...

(2017-18)

 

 

What is the impact of the expenditure on other pupils?

 

Often, all of the children in a class will reap some benefit from how the school spends its Pupil Premium. At Greasley Beauvale Primary School, we feel that children who do not receive the Pupil Premium funding still benefit from the grant in the following ways:

 

• Smaller class sizes when eligible pupils are released for Pupil Premium time;
• When TAs spend time working with eligible pupils in class, other children on the tables benefit;
• Interventions that work for eligible pupils can also be implemented and used with other children, especially SEND;
• When eligible pupils receive interventions and support (especially pre-teaching) they are more likely to understand objectives and are therefore more likely to demonstrate good learning behaviours in class and contribute to shared learning;
• Where eligible pupils receive emotional and social support, this has a positive impact on their friendship groups and leads to happier play times for all.
