WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 23RD MAY 2017
Question
Further to his response to written question 1(258) on 2nd May 2017, will the Minister list the 50 projects which received funding from the Jersey pupil premium scheme, along with the numbers of pupils taking part in these projects and a breakdown of the sums spent, by school, in 2016 and, if appropriate, in 2017?
Will the Minister further explain what the "initial evidence [] of positive results for individual pupils", referred to in that answer, is?
Answer
Please see a breakdown (attached) which provides details of the 50 pilot Jersey Premium projects that were completed in 2016. Evaluation of spend and analysis of impact for 2017 will be collated at the end of the year to assess the successful implementation of each schools strategy and action plan.
With regard to the "initial evidence [] of positive results for individual pupils", a number of different tools and assessment criteria were chosen by each school to measure the impact of their specific projects at a pupil level. The sensitive personal nature of the information prevents the Education Department from providing detail. However, as an example, a Reading Response intervention undertaken by pupils in Year 2 at a primary school proved extremely successful. Not only did it engage pupils and their families, the rapid improvement also developed a real sense of achievement in individuals who received the support. The first five pupils made accelerated progress of between 12 to 21 months over a three to six month period. As a direct result of this project, pupils are now able to access the curriculum for their year group alongside their peers. The school has expanded the programme to ensure more pupils who would benefit have access to this support.
