Busy Brains Schools - Services to Schools

Pupil Premium & SEND Interventions - What do we provide?

Expert interventions for pupil premium students led by qualified teachers.
Sequence of individualised planned sessions. Offered in 6 week blocks.
Entrance and exit tests with data to support progress and written reports to schools quantifying impact.
Well matched provision for a wide range of pupils.

1 hour sessions based on pre-identified areas of the curriculum for pupil premium students, SEND and those who require individualised focused teaching to support and raise their achievement.

All outcomes are based on the aims of the National Curriculum and are tailored to enable pupils to close the attainment gap.

Interventions can be in groups or individually and coverage ranges from Years 1 – 6.

Each block of intervention work is planned, evaluated and the impact documented.

Attainment gaps will be identified through entrance tests and existing school information where a focused personalised programme of support will then be planned to close the gaps, and the impact of this will be evaluated through the exit data, teacher assessment and pupil self assessment.

Detailed reports are provided to schools to quantify the impact of the interventions and academic progress achieved.

Sessions are led by qualified and experienced teachers of primary education, they have a vast knowledge of pupil premium, SEN, inclusion and behaviour.

Research from the Education Endowment Foundation evidences that small group and 1:1 tuition can impact a child’s learning by up to 5 months.

Excellent, high impact interventions. (Wessex Gardens Primary School)

After School Busy Clubs

Provision is also available for unique ‘After School Busy Clubs’ with opportunities for curriculum enrichment activities that raise pupil’s aspirations, support social skills and build resilience.

We use a high impact approach using metacognition and self regulation strategies, where children are taught methods to motivate themselves and plan, monitor and evaluate their own learning in a happy, vibrant after school club. We inspire active minds!

Sessions are 1 hour long straight after school, and are based on the chosen curriculum area. Each session is different but all support and build upon the National Curriculum objectives through enriching activities.

Maximum capacity for the sessions is dependent on the nature of the club. Offered in Key Stage groups (KS1, KS2) or in individual year groups.

Busy Brains will deal with all admin and payments direct from the parents. All schools need to do is send out the flyers to parents.

Sessions cost between £7 and £10 per child per session, payable a term in advance.
