Clifton Pupil Premium Report
What is Pupil Premium?
Pupil Premium is additional funding that the Government gives to schools. This funding is
targeted at students facing the greatest disadvantage.
The Government believes that Pupil Premium is the most effective way to address the
current underlying inequalities between children eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) and
their wealthier peers.
The use of the Pupil Premium Grant is the responsibility of each individual school. However
it is assumed that the funding should be used to remove barriers to learning and ensure
each student participates fully in all aspects of school life and reaches his/her full potential.
Each year in January, every school completes a Census which captures the students who
are in receipt of Free School Meals. This information is then sent to the government who
then issue funding to individual schools via their Local Authority.
In future the use of Pupil Premium Funding will form part of Ofsted Inspections. Schools
will have to demonstrate how effective they were at using this funding.
How is Pupil Premium Calculated?
Pupil Premium is calculated from the data captured during the January School census each year.
The census looks at 3 categories of students:


Students on free school in the last 6 years (Ever6)

Clifton Pupil Premium Report
Interventions September 2013 – June 2014
Clifton has been working in partnership with Wickersley School & Sports College since
January 2014. This has resulted in a change to how Pupil Premium is used and tracked.
A new system of more accurately tracking specific intervention costs will be in place for
the next academic year.
Clifton Community School believes that students will make the best progress if teaching
is targeted at a level that stretches and challenges each individual student. Students at
Clifton are set by ability in the majority of their subjects. This approach enables teachers
to differentiate their teaching methods and ensures that all students make good
progress. The school makes substantial investment in additional classes across all areas
of the curriculum. This investment reduces the number of students in a class and
facilitates more targeted support for students who need more time and support in a
subject.

Clifton Pupil Premium Report
In addition to interventions as listed above, we have appointed several new Learning
Mentors and Teaching Assistants to support learning in class and during withdrawal
sessions for EAL students so that we have extra capacity compared to a year ago.
Pastoral support roles have also expanded so that there is now a teaching head of year
and a non-teaching Student Pastoral Manager for each year group. Their focus is on
attainment for all students. A Behaviour Support Manager has been appointed to lead on
engagement for learning so that all students have the opportunity to gain their best
grades. Additional resources have also been invested in items such as lesson
equipment, laptop for LAC and similar. Significant funding has been invested in these
roles beyond the budget of the Pupil Premium.
