Measuring the impact of PPG spending
The impact of our Pupil Premium Grant spend can be seen by looking at our GCSE results (5 A*-
C including English and Mathematics) for Pupil Premium students against non-PP
students:

Percentage of pupils achieving 5 A*-C including English and Mathematics:
Year 2010 2011 2012 2013
PPG 42.6% 38.1% 47.2% 66.3%
Non PPG 69.5% 69.9% 65.5% 78.0%
Gap -26.9% -31.8% -18.3% -11.7%

Not only has the achievement gap between Pupil Premium pupils and their peers
been narrowed, but attainment has been raised for all pupils.


Ofsted
Ofsted pay close attention to the expenditure and impact of the Pupil Premium Grant
on the progress and attainment of pupils. In The Heathland Schools most recent
inspection (June 2013), Ofsted found:

Students who are eligible for pupil premium funding make very good progress
from their starting points. In 2012, the average points score at GCSE for these
students was significantly higher than for all students nationally. In English
and mathematics they achieved approximately a grade higher than all
students nationally. The gap between the points score for these students and
others in the school is small and narrowing rapidly, due to effective additional
support given by teachers and teaching assistants. -Ofsted, June 2013
