In terms of impact of Launchpad at Newby, writing is an area where we can see the impact most clearly. Two ways – the first is our fine motor provision is built around the progression laid out in Launchpad. We’ve used the document to help us structure our provision so that there is progression and development from Nursery through to Reception. Equally all of the materials around speech and vocabulary development – frame what we do […]

Launchpad for Literacy is used across the school to support our EYFS children and for those who have gaps in their learning. We feel it has a significant impact on our GLD scores as our children entering Bexhill EYFS have extremely low starting points, and our school GLD has been higher than national.

LP has helped to close the gaps in the foundation years that we had previously seen. This is because the steps are so structured that the planning and activities are more progressive.

More children are making progress from their low starting points.

Our attainment in prime areas has increased this year.

Our Speech and language, PSED and literacy data have all increased compared to previous years.

Within weeks of using the LP, we’ve seen rapid progress from all of the children. LP has completely transformed our understanding and teaching of pre phonics skills across EYFS.

LP has improved attainment data, as staff can more effectively identify gaps/needs and plan more specifically for these, positively impacting on progress.

I have had a lot more children hit ELG’s since I really implemented LP into my planning and lessons.

Launchpad has helped more children to achieve GLD.

LP has helped targeted children to make additional progress and for some to meet GLD at the end of the key stage.

Data. A most recent example – the children in the lowest attaining group for RWI were not making swift enough progress so we referred back to LP and included auditory and visual memory work and the children have made rapid progress.

LP has had a clear and positive impact on our attainment data. A high majority of children are now assessed as having ‘met’ the expected developmental milestones for their age. This is a significant shift from previous years, where more children remained below expected levels for longer.

We have more children achieving a good level of development this year due to LP & our targeted work.
