1 hour sessions (recommended twice weekly) based on pre-identified areas of the curriculum for pupil premium students 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 6 week block 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 teachers with over 20 years experience 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.
We recognise the importance of a collaborative approach to learning and the key role parents play in their child’s developmental cycle.
To promote parental engagement, practical workshops can be provided to support involvement and understanding of key strategies and initiatives, that are relevant in education and will raise parents confidence when supporting their children’s learning.

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 based on a different curriculum area each week. Sessions from each of the ‘Busy Brains’ workshops below will be included each half term and will be related to a half termly theme. This ensures thorough curriculum coverage.
If schools would rather have a 6 week block of one particular club, i.e. Busy Boffins, we can also accommodate this.
Maximum capacity for the sessions is dependent on the nature of the club. Offered in Key Stage groups (KS1, KS2)
Busy Brains will deal with all admin and payments direct from the parents.
