Pupil Premium (2014-2015) - Infant School
Context of School
St. Joseph’s Catholic Infants School is a two form entry school in Southwark. We are currently working in Federation with St. Joseph’s Catholic Junior School as part of St. Joseph’s Camberwell Catholic Schools’ Federation.
We have high aspirations and ambitions for our children and we believe that no child should be left behind. We strongly believe that it is not about where you come from but your passion and thirst for knowledge, and your dedication and commitment to learning that make the difference between success and failure, and we are determined to ensure that our children are given every chance to realise their full potential.
At St. Joseph’s we have high percentages of FSM, SEN and EAL pupils. However we see our diverse community as a strength and we are committed to ensuring that the challenges we face are mitigated so that all pupils can reach their full potential. It is essential that we identify individual barriers in order to provide personalised targeted support to ensure our children can flourish.
Pupil Premium funding represents a significant proportion of our budget and we are committed to ensuring it is spent to maximum effect.

Summary of PPG spending |
|
Objectives in spending PPG: Our key objective in using the Pupil Premium Grant is to narrow the gap between pupil groups. As a school we aim to ensure that children make at least good progress throughout each school year. Through targeted interventions, we are working to eliminate barriers to learning and progress. Many children start school with low attainment on entry and our aim is to ensure that they make accelerated progress in order to reach age related expectations + as they move through the school. |
|
Summary of spending and actions taken: Develop children’s skills and support those who need extra support through group work, to ensure no child is left out of any activity or school trip or after school club and enhance home school learning through parent workshops. |
|
Outcomes to date: As highlighted as a strength of the school in the Ofsted Inspection Dashboard data in October 2015: Disadvantaged KS1 pupils had an average point score equal to or above the national score for other pupils in reading. Over the past three years there is an upward trend for our disadvantaged pupils in the percentages of pupils achieving a Good Level of Development in the EYFS and in KS1, the number of pupils making at least expected progress in Reading, Writing and Mathematics considering that 60% of our disadvantaged pupils at KS1 are also EAL and 33% are SEN. |
