Pupil Premium 10:10 Programme
The KCSP Pupil Premium 10:10 Programme
St John: Chapter 10, Verse 10:
‘I have come that they may have life,
and have it to the full.’
The KCSP Pupil Premium Strategy recognises that pupils in receipt of the pupil premium funding do not always have access to the wider cultural and spiritual opportunities that more advantaged pupils do.
The 10:10 programme has been implemented in all KCSP academies to address this and to ensure that all pupils, including the most vulnerable and disadvantaged, “may have life, and have it to the full.”
At St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, our provision for this programme is that, during their 7 years as a pupil of St Teresa's, every child will:
The staff of St Teresa's, across the course of this year, alongside our wider school community, will look at our whole school plan in order to effectively provide these excellent and inspirational opportunities for all of our children.
St Teresa's Catholic School Pupil Premium Strategy |
Pupil Premium funding is a government initiative designed to target resources to those pupils deemed to be from a disadvantaged background. Specifically, the disadvantaged Pupil Premium money is provided to schools for pupils who were eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) at any point over the past 6 years, those children who have been looked after continuously for at least 6 months (CLA) or adopted from care.
For the year 20202021 the Ever 6 FSM Pupil Premium has a value of £1345 per eligible pupil in primary education.
Schools receive £2,345 for those children who have been looked after continuously for at least 6 months (CLA) or adopted from care. The CLA premium is managed by the designated virtual school head (VSH) in the LA that looks after the child and should be used to deliver to the looked-after child’s educational needs as described in their personal education plan. Schools receive a single higher payment when a pupil is both CLA or adopted from care and Ever 6 FSM.
School level numbers and percentages shown in this review are those relating pupils eligible for the Ever 6 FSM element of the deprivation Pupil Premium Grant.
Neither the government or any government agency has dictated how Ever 6 Pupil Premium monies should be spent but it is clear the money should be used to promote strategies which narrow the attainment gap between the highest and lowest achieving pupils, and which enable eligible pupils to thrive, particularly if they demonstrate high ability. |

At St Teresa’s Catholic Primary School across The Kent Catholic Schools’ Partnership (KCSP) and across schools nationally, the period from mid-March 2020 until the end of the academic year has been dominated by the outbreak of COVID-19.
The much reduced opening of all schools in March, followed by the period of widening opening of schools from 1st June has had a profound impact on the ability to implement the actions and strategies outlined in their current pupil premium strategy and/or planned expenditure. Consequently, it has not been possible to implement and evaluate all planned strategies, with plans being amended and provision adapted to support our most disadvantaged pupils and families.
Across KCSP we have continued to address the challenges faced by pupils who experience social disadvantage. St Teresa’s has put in place the following measures to support all families, including those eligible for the pupil premium grant:
The evidence-informed approach we adopt across KCSP is rooted in tackling educational disadvantage in the classroom. This is a long-term approach; it may well be necessary and desirable for leaders to continue 2019-20 planned actions into the 2020-21 academic year and beyond. This is in line with EEF guidance on 'Putting Evidence to Work - A School's Guide to Implementation'. Planned activities and strategies need to be implemented effectively, over time. They need to be evaluated robustly and embedded to create sustainably positive outcomes for disadvantaged learners.
Review: last year’s aims and outcomes
Aim | Outcome |
Breakfast club for a family | Children’s punctuality and attendance improved, leading to a better morning start in class for the children involved |
RSC Shakespeare for All project | Children took part in in-school drama sessions and worked with an outside facilitator for 2 workshops. Due to Covid the final performance had to be cancelled. |
Parental Engagement Network programme (KCSP instructed cost) | Staff attended CPD and implemented strategies in school |
PP children to represent the school at an event | All PP school leavers offered the opportunity to represent the school. Priority places offered to PP children to go to O2 Young Voices concert. |
Targeted speech and language therapist for 8 pupils | Improvement in speech articulation and acquisition of new words. Progression in all aspects of English noted in attainment. |
Staff at all levels have a clear understanding of the PP strategies both in our school and the Trust and are clear about their responsibility for bringing about the success of both. This is a vital foundation for ensuring that the KPIs are met at the end of the Trust’s three-year PP strategy, 2020-2023. This school is expected to achieve the outcomes below, as a minimum, to play its part in contributing to the Trust’s overall progress and attainment goals. These are not limiting targets. They are minimum expectations and we will publish our performance against these. We have a shared accountability for the achievement of all pupils in our schools, whichever academy they attend.

Barriers to learning these priorities address | The wellbeing of individual pupils and in particular their parents deteriorated greatly during the March 2020 lockdown, necessitating increased support from the school both via referrals and via school interventions. Any further disruption to school life should Covid continue to be a problem will impact negatively on the continued wellbeing and mental health of parents and children. |
