Roscoe Primary School Pupil Premium Statement
The Pupil Premium is funding provided to schools which is additional to main school funding. The premium is designed to help each school boost the attainment of
disadvantaged children and reduce the gap between the highest and lowest achievers. It is allocated according to the number of pupils on-roll who are eligible for
free school meals (FSM), a smaller amount allocated according to the number of children of service families, and an allocation for each pupil who has been ‘Looked
After’ (in care) for 6 months or more. In 2012, funding was extended to include pupils who have been eligible for free school meals within the past 6 years.
Key facts
 The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011, and paid to local authorities by means of a specific grant based on January 2011 school census figures for
pupils registered as eligible for FSM in reception to Year 11. For looked after children the pupil premium was calculated using the Children Looked After data
returns (SSDA903).
 Total funding through the Premium will increase to £2.5bn in 2014-15.
 The level of the premium in 2014-15 is £1300 per pupil for pupils eligible for free school meals (FSM) and for pupils in care who have been continuously
looked after for six months.
 Pupil Premium Plus is allocated to support pupils who are identified as Children Looked After (CLA) and those who have been adopted from care or leave care
under special guardianship or with a residence order. The level of premium was increased to £1,900 in 2014-15.
 Those pupils who have parents serving in the armed forces are allocated a premium of £300.
 Pupil Premium was also paid to academies via the Young Peoples’ Learning Agency.
 Local authorities are responsible for looked after children in care and will make payments to schools and academies where an eligible looked after child is on
roll.
 It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual
pupils within their responsibility. However, schools are to be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support pupils from low-income
families.
 From September 2012, this information must be published on the school website. Please see below for information regarding how the pupil premium was spent
in the last financial year, the impact of this funding, and the plans for future spending.
Roscoe Primary School Pupil Premium Principles
 We ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all our pupils.
 We ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who are vulnerable and may underachieve.
 We recognise some pupils who do not receive free school meals or other sources of Pupil Premium funding may have some significant barriers to learning.
 We reserve the right to allocate the Pupil Premium funding to support any pupil who has legitimately been identified by us as being disadvantaged or at risk of
being unable to access learning effectively.
 Pupil Premium funding will be allocated on a needs basis, linked to analysis of outcomes for individual pupils. Limited funding and resources may mean that
not all children who receive free school meals will be in receipt of pupil premium intervention at any one time.
Provision
The range of provision that may be considered includes, but is not limited to:



Small group and one to one support for vulnerable pupils who are underachieving

residential activities.
The impact on standards will be evaluated each term and a final evaluation published in the Autumn Term following each school year. If you have any questions
relating to this aspect of our school provision, please do not hesitate to contact the school office to speak with a member of the school staff.
