Summary of intended spending

Establish and resource a completely new Curriculum Support Department from September 2012, with specific role to work with small groups and one to one situations with the targeted group. The work will cover literacy and numeracy interventions, key skills, language support, mentoring and other specific individually targeted interventions based on identified needs. Students of higher ability including those who are gifted and talented but are entitled to support will be monitored and interventions, where appropriate, will be made to ensure they also reach their potential. (Allocation 50000 in current financial year) Purchase additional support for attendance on top of that provided by the local authority to improve overall attendance rates and in particular that of students with a record of persistent absence below 90% (Allocation 8835) Maintain the external coaching/mentoring and sports support for re-engaging disaffected students. (Allocation 15000) Maintain provision of places for selected disengaged students at local vocational course providers to support the achievement of their potential. (Allocation 9000) Maintain support for ensuring no child whatever their ability is disadvantaged with respect to any school activity or requirement as a result of inability to pay. (Allocation c. 5000) Provide support for students with social and emotional issues through specialist sessions, short courses and purchase of Educational Psychology support and additional inclusion support. (Allocation 30000)

The total cost of the above provision was in 11/12 and is likely to be in 12/13 significantly more than the specific Pupil Premium Grant income, there are a number of students who are also supported through some of the above interventions who do not draw in the funding. The school uses its regular funding stream to top up the support for all who need it.
