In 2019/20 122 students were eligible to benefit from the Catch Up Premium
Students who sat KS2 tests in 2018 no longer receive a National Curriculum Level, but instead received a Standardised Score showing Expected Standard Achieved (Standardised score of 100-120), or Expected Standard Not Achieved (Standardised Score of 80 - 99).
Ormiston Sandwell Community Academy was allocated £18000 in funding, in the 2019-2019 academic year, to support the 74 students who met the criteria in either Reading and/or Maths. This funding, as the name suggests, was to help these students to ‘catch up’ with their peers during their first year at the Academy.
The objectives of the funding:
- To close the attainment gap by providing intensive literacy and numeracy support to students entitled to catch up Premium
- To raise self-esteem and aspirations of students entitled to Catch up Premium
- To enhance existing provision
To identify concerns and target intervention and support to accelerate progress
For the 2019/20 Year 7 cohort of 239 students, currently 234 students have full Key Stage 2 data.
Of these 234 students:
• 62 students (of which 54% are PP) did not reach the expected standard in both Reading and Maths (scaled score KS2 general). • An additional 71 students (61% PP) did not reach the expected standard in Reading. • An additional 51 students (50% PP) did not reach the expected standard in Maths;
Of these: • 14 students (72% PP) were either working below the level of the test or received a Standardised Score between 80 – 90 in Reading; • 9 students (4% PP) were either working below the level of the test or received a Standardised Score between 80 – 90 in Maths.

Impacts
- There were 62 students with a scaled score below 100 in Reading and Mathematics
- In this measure of the standardised scores in English:
- 44 students (71%) have improved performance from DC1 to DC2
- Of these students: 24 are PP (55%), 24 are female (55%), 20 are male (45%) and 16 have an SEND need (36%)
- In this measure of the standardised scores in Maths:
- 14 students (23%) have improved performance from DC1 to DC2
- Of these students: 7 are PP(50%), 10 are female (71%), 4 are male (29%) and 3 have an SEND need (21%)
Due to the Coronavirus closure, a third DC (data capture) was not taken and so the figures above do not take into account the duration of the year.
Planned Expenditure 2020-2021
In 2020-2021 – at the time of writing the KS2 SATs have not taken place due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Primary teachers will use teacher assessments. Once received, the figures will be updated.
The proposed allocation for 2020-2021 is £20,000
