PUPIL Premium Manchester 2017-18

Manchester Academy – Pupil Premium Funding 2017-2018

At Manchester Academy

• We believe in the capacity of every pupil to achieve at the
highest levels

• We do not believe that social or financial disadvantage should
ever be an obstacle to a young person’s life chances

• We use every funding source and educational strategy at our
disposal to remove barriers to success for our pupils

• We encourage every pupil to believe in their self and their
potential to achieve

• We support every pupil to take pride in their achievements
and to always aspire to achieve even more

‘The Best in Everyone’

Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools so that they can support their disadvantaged pupils and close
the attainment gap between them and their peers. The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is allocated to
schools to work with pupils who:

• have been registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years (known as ‘Ever 6 FSM’)
• have been looked after continuously for more than six months (LAC)
• are children of service personnel

The Pupil Premium grant per pupil for 2017-18 is as follows:

Disadvantaged pupils Pupil premium per pupil
£935.00
Pupils in years 7 to 11 recorded as Ever 6 FSM £1,900.00

Looked after children (LAC) defined in Children Act 1989 as one who is in the care of, or £1,900.00
provided with accommodation by, an English local authority

Children who have ceased to be looked after by a local authority in England and Wales
because of adoption, a special guardianship order, a child arrangements order or a
residence order

Service children Pupil premium per pupil

Pupils in year groups reception to year 11 recorded as Ever 6 service child or in receipt £300.00
of child pension from the Ministry of Defence

The funding is intended to allow additional resources to be applied in improving achievement of students who are possi-
bly disadvantaged by low family incomes. National data shows that FSM students are more likely to underachieve than
students who are not entitled to FSM.

Use of Pupil Premium at Manchester Academy:

Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit. However they are accountable for how they use this addi-
tional funding to support pupils from low-income families (or who are LAC). This is to ensure that parents and other
stakeholders are fully aware of the attainment of pupils covered by the Premium.

A detailed breakdown of the academy's Pupil Premium spending for the 2017-18 academic year along with an analysis
of the impact of the academy's Pupil Premium spending for the academic year 2016-17 can be found below.

*The Pupil Premium strategy is reviewed annually, the next review will take place in September 2018.
** Please note that all figures for progress and attainment in 2016 are not yet validated

Review:
Scrutiny of Pupil Premium spending is carried out by the Governing Body, who work with the Principal, Assistant
Principal and the Business Manager to evaluate the impact of pupil premium spending upon attainment and make
decisions about its effective and efficient deployment. The Pupil Premium budget is reviewed by the full Governing
Body as an agenda item in at least one meeting per year and is reviewed thereafter by a named Governor (Governor
with oversight of ‘Outcomes for Pupils’).

Wider Impact:

Every pupil benefits:
It is evident that strategies to raise the aspirations and attainment of Pupil Premium pupils at the academy have also
impacted positively upon non-disadvantaged pupils, both directly in terms of activities undertaken and indirectly in terms
of the ethos and culture being instilled. The academy recognises that many families who are not in receipt of Free School
Meals may not be well off financially and that refugee and recently arrived children whose parents do not possess a
National Insurance number may be amongst our most disadvantaged pupils regardless of their ‘Ever6 FSM’ status. We
also recognise that in our community there are many families in which, despite one or more parents being in full-time
work, low wages and insecure employment terms mean that they could be classed as ‘Just about managing’ and that their
children require our support to access additional activities and resources to support their education as well.

We value all of our pupils and make sure that whatever we do to support one group also helps others.

Pupil Premium Priorities for Academic Year 2017-18

The academy expects to receive £659,175 in Pupil Premium funding for academic year 2017-18. This equates to £935 for
705 pupils. The academy also has £154,806 of pupil premium funding which was carried forward from academic year
2016-17 and £7,900 of LAC funding. A total of £821,881 is available for the academic year 2017-18.

Although it is important to utilise the Pupil Premium to intervene in underperformance at Key Stage 4, the academy is
also identifying aspects of examination underperformance in English and maths and putting in place strategies at Key
Stage 3 to prevent deficiencies in pupils’ knowledge, skills and understanding persisting when they come to sit their GCSE
exams.

The main barriers to progress and attainment for Pupil Premium pupils at Manchester Academy (and other pupils that
may also be affected by degrees of disadvantage) are:

• Lack of confidence in reading, which can impede the development of spelling, punctuation and grammar
• Fewer opportunities to socialise with, meet with or network with professional people from a range of back-

grounds and occupations and to capitalise upon these relationships when making choices about future educa-
tional or career pathways

Page 29 of 38

• Little experience of tertiary or higher education, affecting confidence in planning for and taking the necessary
steps to secure the skills and qualifications needed to access these

• Additional responsibilities at home such as looking after younger siblings
• For the most gifted pupils, the lack of the challenge that can be presented by being surrounded by a greater

number of equally or more gifted pupils can impede access to the highest possible grades.
• Parents and teachers who may view ‘passing’ as being good enough rather than encouraging the pupil to strive

for the highest possible grade.
• Less access to the (prohibitively expensive) ‘extras’ that can bring learning to life, such as going to the theatre.

In order to maximise the impact of this funding upon progress and attainment, the academy has adopted a highly
individualised approach to supporting the ‘pupil premium cohort’, which is based on the rigorous use of data at 6
‘assessment points’ throughout the year. We supplement bespoke interventions for individuals, targeted towards
addressing the deficiencies in their learning (identified through their ‘AP Assessments’ and from ‘question level analysis’
in mock examinations) with ‘overarching strategies’ that are designed to impact upon larger groups of pupils.

In 2016-17, the academy continued to build upon it pupil premium foundations of success with a Progress 8 score of
-0.030 Over 75% of the Year 11 cohort were eligible for pupil premium.
We believe that it is good practice to focus on ensuring that every pupil receives a consistent diet of high quality teaching
rather than relying on interventions to compensate. The academy’s IQTL and Slider Assessment Model ensures that there
is a systematic focus on clear pupil feedback and advice for improving their work and that any underperformance is quickly
identified and interventions are both dynamic and quickly put into place.

In addition to the Pupil Premium spending outlined below, the academy has invested a significant amount of money in
order to be able to provide Year 11 pupils with an ‘extended’ timetable - 30 hours of contact time as opposed to 25 hours
previously - Known as Lesson 6. There is also opportunity for Year 11 to have Lesson 7 with Hegarty maths intervention
every day of the week. The academy also provides KS3 and KS4 pupils with additional opportunities for 1:1, small group
tuition both before school from 7:30 am and after school until 17:00 each day. Super Learning Days also form part of our
intervention programme during each holiday for KS4 studenmts Year 10 /Year 11 students. The academy’s creative and
rigorous approach to deploying and assessing the impact of the pupil premium has meant that since its introduction in
2011, disadvantaged pupils at the academy have outperformed both their peers within the
academy.

Taking into account the above, the academy’s wider key priorities for 2017-18 Pupil Premium spending are:

Measuring the impact of Pupil Premium spending:

The impact of the pupil premium spending will be measured through
comparison of progress and outcomes for Y11 pupils in the 2017-18
GCSE exams with progress and outcomes in previous years. At each of
the 6 assessment points throughout the academic year, the progress be-
ing made by disadvantaged pupils is measured against that of their non-
disadvantaged peers and interventions are implemented in any areas
where they are required.

The wider impact of Pupil Premium spending will also be measured
through comparing the progress and attainment of Y7-10 pupils in all
subject areas, but particularly English, Maths and Humanities.

A full ASDTi Classroom Climate survey of all pupils will be taken in the summer term. This will be compared year on year
to previous survey results. Responses from pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium will be compared to those from non-dis-
advantaged pupils.

The academy council, comprising of elected pupils from each year group will be asked to discuss the Pupil Premium plan
and their views will be recorded and considered when planning for 2018-19.
