Last year we received £63,000 funding from the Scottish Government’s Pupil Equity Fund to help close the poverty related attainment gap.
We used this money to:-
- Have an extra support for learning teacher (Mrs Scott) to provide extra literacy and numeracy support in all classes
- Employ a Polish Pupil Support Worker to support children who are learning English
- Run a PEEP (family learning) class for parents and nursery children
- Reduce the cost of after school clubs, camps and trips
- Employ a Speech & Language therapist to work with identified groups of children from nursery – P3
- Provide high quality professional learning for all staff.
- Purchase new writing resources for P1-7 to improve children’s attainment in writing
- Employ an extra teacher to support us with Number Talks across P1-7
- Purchase a numeracy home learning kit for P2-4 pupils – these will be launched in August
- Purchase new netbooks and iPads for each class
We will receive £60,000 PEF funding this year.
What do you think our school should STOP, START and CONTINUE to do to help all our children make progress and to support all families?
