OFSTED JUDGEMENTS ON PUPIL PREMIUM SPENDING AT RIVERSIDE

‘Additional funding is used well so disadvantaged children make the same quick gains in their learning.’

‘Pupils achieve well across the school. Different groups, including the most able and those who are disadvantaged, make the same progress as others nationally’

‘The support for vulnerable pupils and those who need extra help to catch up is strong’

‘Although few disadvantaged pupils gain a good level of development by the end of the early years, they do not flounder as they move throughout school. Effective additional support, either in the classroom or through small-group work, means they gain ground quickly. These pupils make the same progress as other pupils nationally and the same number reach the expected standard for their age’

‘Pupil premium funding is used effectively for most of the disadvantaged cohort. A whole host of strategies to support disadvantaged pupils’ academic, emotional and social needs are in place. This is making a real difference to lower- and middle-ability disadvantaged pupils. Their achievement stands strong when compared to others nationally’

‘The most able pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, are accomplished readers. They glean much enjoyment and knowledge from their reading. This accounts for their above average standards by the end of Year 6’
