PUPIL PREMIUM FUNDING
The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools so that they can support their disadvantaged pupils and close the attainment gap between them and their peers. In 2013/14 the
Pupil Premium funding rose to £953 per disadvantaged child.
In 2014-15, the funding rose to £1300 for primary-aged pupils, and £1900 for all looked after children, adopted children and children with guardians.
With this increase it has become increasingly important to monitor how the school is spending the pupil premium funding and how effective this is in improving the outcomes for these
children. It is the responsibility of all schools to report the use and impact of this funding.
Choosing successful interventions
The Headteacher has attended training on the effective use of the pupil premium through the Sutton Trust “Improving Social Mobility Through Education”. Their research had highlighted
the interventions which are proving most effective for pupil premium children. We have put in place a variety of these interventions and are monitoring which are the most effective for our
school.
Rochford Extended Services
Part of our pupil premium funding is used to subscribe to Rochford Extended Services.
Through this service we are able to provide extra support to children and their families including family support, attendance support, counselling and the services of the educational
psychologist.

Monitoring
In 2014-15 we will be funded for 44 children although the number of children on the register will change during the year. In the financial year: April 2014 – March 2015, Pupil premium
funding is £59,800. We are monitoring the interventions these children are accessing and the impact of the provision on each child’s progress. We have also monitored the progress of Pupil
Premium Children against children who do not receive this funding. We adapt our pupil premium spending each term to meet the on-going needs of the children and based on the
evidenced effectiveness of each intervention. The results of pupil premium children are reported to governors termly together with information about how effective the various
interventions have been.
