Evaluation of impact
As a vital element of our tracking to ensure that all students at The Vyne Community School make excellent progress in their learning we will review students progress formally three times during the year.
The attendance, effort and attitude and assessment data will be analysed to ensure that the progress and achievement of all students is at least in line with national expectations and in many cases ahead of it. A part of this analysis will be to look at the progress of sub-cohorts of students such as those students eligible for Pupil Premium to ensure that their progress is in line with the whole student body. Where this is not the case, we will review our pupil premium funding to ensure that interventions are targeted at those students who require additional support in order to maximise their potential
