Pupil Premium Report 13/14

Purpose

The pupil premium was introduced in April 2011 and is allocated to schools to work with learners who have been registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years (known as ever 6 FSM), looked after children (LAC) or Army children. The additional funding is allocated to support schools to ‘narrow the gap’ between vulnerable learners and their peers.

Schools, headteachers and teachers will decide how to use the pupil premium allocation, as they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for individual learners. It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium allocation is spent since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual learners within their responsibility.(Source: DFE Website)

Commentary:Performance of learners across school shows that there is a gap between the percentage of disadvantaged learners reaching age related expectations and their peers throughout school. By the end of Key Stage 2 this gap has been significantly narrowed as a greater percentage of disadvantaged learners reach age related expectations. In 2014 the percentage of disadvantaged

learners making expected progress by the end of KS2 was better than the percentage of other learners making expected or better progress. Analysis of Raise online & school performance data tells us that overall in 2014 at the end of KS2 the in school gap between the attainment of disadvantaged learners and their peers is smaller than the gap nationally. This suggests positive impact of the 2013/14 spending plan.
