PROFILE OF PUPILS 2021/22 PUPILS

To address children making slower than expected progress, the following measures are to be put in place-

• Throughout the academic year 2021/22, each class had both a teacher and an LSA to be deployed as appropriate. Interventions, based on the need of the cohort, have been delivered by both adults as appropriate. 1-1 reading has taken place for all SEND children and Target 20% children.
• Parental engagement has remained a key focus. IPPs have been shared with all parents. Class teachers have discussed their child's needs, targets and ways in which school is providing support and ways in which parents can provide support. Staff have shared progress regularly with parents via Seesaw.
•  Staff training has had a firm focus on inclusive quality first teaching and all staff have been equipped with strategies to use across the curriculum to ensure access, support and challenge for all.
• Reading has remained a firm priority in school for all children, including those with SEND, and extra adults have been welcomed into school to provide additional opportunities for
  1-1 reading. Reading Circles have begun once again in KS2 and Whole Class Reading has exposed all children to quality higher level texts. Choral reading has been implemented to improve reading fluency.
• Interventions have been further revised and improved (longer morning sessions / short focussed afternoon interventions for target children) This will need to continue into 22/23.
• A personalised learning  curriculum is in place for one child
