Pupil Premium
The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, funding for which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current inequalities by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the students who need it most. It has been for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium is spent since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility.
New measures have been included in the performance tables that capture the achievement of those pupils covered by the Pupil Premium. From September 2012, schools are also required to publish online information about how the premium has been used.
Pupil Premium 2016-2017
Context of School
Tarporley CE Primary School is approximately 12 miles from Chester. It is a one form entry school with 222 children on roll. Our school culture of 'Inspire. Achieve. Enjoy. Together.' begins with the needs of the child and reaches out to the family and to the future. We want Tarporley Church of England Primary School to be a place where we all inspire a love of learning and respect for all, where individuals are encouraged to reach their full potential.
Due to the varying number in receipt of the grant, Tarporley CE Primary School does not publish specific results/ spending in each year group/ number of children involved to avoid identifying specific children in a public domain.

We aim to ensure that:
Appropriate provision is made for pupils who receive Pupil Premium to:
· Raise attainment and close the gap between vulnerable groups and their peers.
· Achieve at least age related expectations in reading, writing and mathematics
· Ensure outstanding progress in reading, writing and maths is made over the course of an academic year.
· Maintain excellence and punctuality
· To equip children with the necessary skills needed to access the full curriculum, including enrichment activities.
We look for opportunities for enrichment and enhancement of the curriculum where a child shows particular talents in an area.
Closing the Gap
Our key objective in using the Pupil Premium Grant is to narrow the gap between pupil groups. As a school we have improved the percentage of pupils, who make good progress and are closing the gap. Through targeted interventions we are working to eliminate barriers to learning and progress.
Overall the attainment gap between pupil premium children and non- pupil premium children is closing. Where gaps remain these have been identified and individual children are receiving support and interventions. Our KS2 data does not reflect this current trend due to cohort specific issues.
Pupil premium will continue to be used to provide high quality additional support for pupils as required, mostly in the form of intervention activities that ensure that individual pupils or small groups of pupils receive tailored support to their needs which is focused on raising achievement. This additional support is carried out by teachers and teaching assistants. Further to this, Pupil Premium will continue to be used to support pupils to attend residential visits.
Below is a brief outline of how the premium has been spent at Tarporley CE Primary School.
