34	Key Outcomes
35
36	Whole school attendance prior to lockdown had increase to 95.15%. Attendance for Pupil Premium (PP) students was 93.23%, which was greater than in 2018-19 and greater than the national average (in 2018-19) of 92.2%. For persistent absence the figure was just 13%, compared to 18.8% in 2019. The national average in 2019 was 12.7%.
37	The awarding of centre assessed grades (CAGs) involved a rigorous standardisation process. The overall outcomes exceeded those in 2019 for all pupil groups including those who were Pupil Premium. However, the attainment gap between PP and non-PP students reduced from 10.17 to 7.45 points. The gap also narrowed for several other measures incuding the % Achieivng Grades 4/5 in English and Mathematics and the EBacc APS.
38	The performance of highly able students exceeded the school target of 44% with 51% achieving 5 Grade 7 to 9's. However for the 8 highly able PP students this figure was just 13%.
39	The school managed the lockdown very well, putting in place a thorough risk assessment and ensuring that vulnerable pupils were closely monitored. This included regular phone calls to those families checking on their welfare. As well as ensuring FSM families received the Government vouchers promplty, the school set up a food bank which was generously supported by the school community. This food was distirbuted to the most needy families, the vast majority of which were PP, but also to some whose circumstances changed drastically during lockdown.
40	To allow the school to function effectively under the ongoing COVID restrictions we have moved a number of our resources into the cloud. This includes implementing the Cloud School Parent (and Learner for Post 16) Apps to share information with parents electronically. Using only a phone, parents can check their childs attendance, behaviour, timetable and important documents such as 'No Homework' letters and half termly school reports. Parents evenings will also be virtual via the School Cloud portal. Homework is now set via Google Classroom and parents are signing up for weekly emails which will inform them of their childs progress with the tasks set. Even our library catalogue has moved into the cloud, with students being able to reserve books online. All of these initiatives aim to reduce our carbon footprint as well as improve communication and access to information for our parents. We are aiming for a 100% uptake of these platforms among our families and believe that our Pupil Premium families will benefit most from the implementation of these new technologies as they have traditionally been the hardest to engage with.
