                  How do King Edward VII School allocate funds?
                  For 2020-2021, the School receives additional funding to support students with their transition to Key Stage 3, from Key
KING EDWARD VII   Stage 2. The total cost of this, is £ 14,035.
   SCHOOL
                  Catch Up Premium students may be allocated School interventions administered by teaching staff. They also receive
                  interventions from a number of pastoral support staff and outside agencies. This cost can be calculated for students
                  who receive this funding. Students may be also entitled to bespoke packages of support throughout their time at School.
                  Whilst in most cases interventions are looked at in a favourable way by students, it is not always the case. They may
                  wish to access this support but some may decline the offer.
                  The funding has been used for staff training, purchase of equipment and to deliver interventions and bespoke packages
                  of support for students. When staff leave or are unable to deliver the interventions, staff are retrained to maintain
                  capacity. Funding has been spent on literacy and numeracy interventions, resources, teaching time, plus a range of
                  interventions for students who may need additional help with emotional and social interactions.
                  The interventions are quality assured and, in turn, are assessed. The School creates and maintains an ‘Impact and
                  Intervention Document’ throughout the year to assess the quality of provision and demonstrate impact.
                  The literacy and numeracy catch-up premium gives schools additional funding to support year 7 pupils who did not
                  achieve the expected standard in reading or maths at the end of key stage 2 (KS2)
                  Background The catch-up funding is additional funding that should be used to support pupils who did not manage to
                  meet the expected standard in year 6 – scaled score below 100. It is up to schools to decide how this money should be
                  spent as they are best placed to assess the additional provision that is necessary for pupils in their school, as they are
                  aware of their backgrounds, needs and experiences.
                  Responsibility for Catch Up Premium Funding All members of the Leadership team have a key responsibility for
                  raising the attainment, achievement and aspirations of all pupils, and within that, catch-up pupils. Key members have
                  responsibility to ensure that these pupils make rapid and sustained progress in Maths and English during Year 7, given
                  their starting points.
Curriculum Leaders It is expected that Curriculum Leaders will complete progress monitoring and QA of teaching and learning so that
effective tracking of pupil progress can take place and interventions can be modified where appropriate.
Key Stage Leaders The progress of pupils is shared with the Pastoral Managers so that they are aware of key characteristics and are
able to track and monitor the progress, behaviour and attendance of their pupils.
Teachers All teachers are expected to use data that is made available to them, and through regular formative assessments, marking
and feedback to ensure that lesson planning is completed and effective in order to meet the needs of all learners. They are expected to
have identified pupils who belong to key groups so that initiatives can be appropriately targeted. They are also expected to ensure that
feedback is consistently used to improve pupil outcomes and to accelerate progress.
Identifying any Gaps: Pupil progress data is entered into SIMS according to the assessment calendar. Pupils are monitored through
this so that intervention that may be necessary can be identified and actioned in order to close any attainment gaps. Progress review
meetings also highlight pupils who are underachieving and intervention strategies are discussed at these meetings and through line
management meetings. In addition to this, attendance and behaviour data is being tracked in order to identify pupils who are causing
concern so that appropriate interventions can be actioned. Attendance meetings are used to discuss key pupils and weekly safeguarding
meetings are also in place to discuss any specific needs or necessary actions
Interventions The intervention sessions usually run during school time. All interventions are tracked through the School Provision
Map and Intervention and Impact documents. This document is regularly updated by the School each time interventions are
implemented and scores and results are measured.
