27.4% of Lister students are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) and there is not a significant difference between the FSM students and whole school cohort. In terms of absenteeism, the school’s % for FSM students is much lower than the national average for the same group.
Attainment (RAISE online 2011) • 44% of FSM students achieved 5+A*-C (including English and Maths) compared to 52% of the whole school. • In terms of Basics Thresholds, FSM students in the school performed significantly above FSM national averages (44% compared to 35%, but lower than non FSM students within the school which was 55%). Progress (RAISE online 2011) • 66% of FSM students made the expected progress in English, compared with to 66% of non FSM students, and a national average for FSM students of 55% • 63% of FSM students made the expected progress in Maths, compared to 67% of non FSM students, and a national average for FSM students of 45% Objectives in spending Pupil Premium Grant The data above shows that whilst Lister’s FSM students perform better compared to national FSM students, there is a gap in attainment and progress between them and non FSM students within the school. So the pupil premium has been used to narrow this gap. The objectives have been: • To improve levels of Literacy for students in both Key stages • To use data more effectively and to track students’ progress in a detailed, sustained way throughout the Key Stages for all subjects • To reduce the levels of absenteeism, by positively encouraging and rewarding good attendance • To introduce Year 6 to Lister and our new house system • To give students a wider experience of school life, both within and out of school hours. • To engage all students inside and outside the classroom. Summary of spending and actions taken: • Spending of the Pupil Premium has been wide-ranging and varied, covering all aspects of school life, whilst ensuring the underlying reasons of raising achievement and progress have been upheld. • The Pupil Premium money has enabled some existing projects to continue, as they would have been cut due to the cessation of other grants (Breakfast Club, Half-term and Easter Revision Programmes). It has allowed our Year 6 pupils to experience secondary school for a fortnight during the summer term and it has meant that the school can employ additional staff within the classroom.
Outcome to Date: • Initial Analysis of Summer 2012 GCSE results shows that 42% FSM students gained 5+A*-C (including English and Maths) compared to 58% of non FSM students. The 2011 national figure for FSM students was 33.9%. • The English % A*-C for FSM students was 58% and for non FSM it was 72%. The 2011 national figure for FSM students was 55%. • The Maths % A*-C for FSM students was 46% and for non FSM it was 63%. The 2011 national figure for FSM students was 42%.
