Aim

Training for Speech and language support

After attending the training the staff were able to help children to develop their communication skills and be able to access the curriculum. Elklan speech and language course has led to the teaching of specific vocabulary, listening and information retrieval skills.

Intervention in small groups

We have invested in quality training for our Teaching Assistants so that they are highly skilled and confident in providing personalised programmes which enable pupils to overcome barriers to learning.  Interventions are closely monitored and tailored to the needs of the pupils.

One to One Tuition with a Teacher

By employing a teacher for one-to-one tuition we are able to help children reach their full potential in Numeracy and Literacy.  The children are taught in the way that suits them as well as teaching specific skills, pupils are then able to make accelerated progress.

Teaching Assistant support

For those pupil premium pupils on the special needs register the learning support assistant is able to work on the targets on each child’s Individual Education Programme.

Access to wider opportunities

Some pupil premium money is used to support families to access extra-curricular activities such as music lessons and taking part in residential trips.

Additional Resources

Resources were purchased using pupil premium funding for intervention groups such as, finger gym, Lego therapy, gym trail etc.
