strategy statement

Given the time children have been out of school since March 2020, we are aware that they will have experienced differing amounts of teaching and learning over the last 6 months. For the majority of children, they will have engaged well with the teaching and learning provided by the school whilst a small but significant number were unable to engage to a satisfactory degree and our new Reception intake will have a limited Nursery experience..

Through the use of a mix of standardized tests and teacher assessment class teachers will identify those pupils who are at risk and need additional support to ensure they are at expected standards by the end of the academic year. The aim of the catch up premium strategy is to ensure that all children are reaching or exceeding age related expectations and close any gaps caused as a result of the national lockdown.

 

Priorities for 2020-21

  • Phonics in years 1 and 2
  • Targeted English and maths in Year 3
