Goudhurst & Kilndown CEP School Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2020-2021

Rationale
Goudhurst & Kilndown CEP School is determined to ensure that all children achieve and are given the highest standards of teaching and learning through
delivering Quality First Teaching (QFT). Additionally, that focussed support and pastoral care outside of QFT is given to children that require it so that they are
achieving their full potential. There is no expectation that all Pupil Premium children will receive identical support; some children will need more than others
and each child is individual with individual circumstances. We recognise that Pupil Premium is designed to support schools to raise attainment of
disadvantaged children, however many of the strategies and interventions in place - will also benefit other groups too. The school considers how to allocate
pupil premium money on an annual basis following rigorous data analysis and careful consideration of the needs of the children within this group and this is
reviewed termly.

How well are we doing at raising attainment for disadvantaged pupils at Goudhurst & Kilndown CEP School?

As a school we understand we need to focus on early intervention, particularly in EYFS and KS1 to ensure pupils make at least as much progress as their
peers, with the focus very much on disadvantaged pupils making accelerated progress.
Prior to the Covid19 pandemic, our main challenge was supporting pupils who are disadvantaged and also SEN to meet Age Related Expectations in line with
their peers. There is a well-documented attainment gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged children and school closures are likely to widen the
disadvantaged gap further. The attainment gap remains a significant barrier to future attainment however we also need to support positive wellbeing and
secure positive development. Each and every child will need support and opportunities to rebuild relationships, acknowledge and accept loss of learning,
identify gaps in learning, reskill and rebuild confidence as learners and have space to rediscover themselves within the school environment. Improving the
attendance of our disadvantaged children has always been a priority, however we recognise that this will be an additional challenging factor for many
disadvantaged children who have been absent from school from 23 rd March to the start of the new academic year – September 2020.

We are also keen to improve the attendance of our disadvantaged pupils as although this is ‘good’ compared to national attendance figures, within our
school we would like this to further improve.
