School slightly above average SS for Reading and GPS, below for Maths. Looking in more depth, MA girls and PP did not perform as well as we expected. Some children invited to intervention but did not attend. Some ch with low attendance earlier in the year (Aut Term) then when attendance improved, saw v.good progress but still not expected.  Combined RWM 55% (Lancs 58%, National 59%). Next steps:  regular revisiting of previous learning to ensure it is retained, giving children the feeling of success; knowledge organiser homework, which worked well last year, but starting earlier and with a more gradual build up again to allow children to consolidate and experience success; November/December intervention for MA children with as reasoning focus and a greater focus on arithmetic in class to boost scores alongside; same-day interventions;  SmashMaths (with tutorial vidoes), Schofield Maths over summer hols. For reading, identifying children who need help decoding, those who have good decoding skills but need to deepen understanding. Reading homework focus this year rather than grammar.
