Pupil Premium
(including Summer Schools)
Sources of funding for ECA

Poverty is the strongest predictor
of a child’s educational outcomes in
terms of attainment …

At the end of Key Stage 1, the odds of a pupil eligible for free
school meals (FSM) achieving level 2 in reading, writing and
maths are one third of those of a non–FSM pupil.

The gap widens for secondary pupils. The odds of a FSM pupil
achieving five or more GCSEs at A*–C (including English and
maths) are less than one third of those of a non-FSM pupil.

A pupil from a non-disadvantaged background is more than
twice as likely to go on to university than their disadvantaged
peers.

Gaps in attainment have proved to be persistent and slow in
narrowing despite previous investment.
Social mobility
The social mobility strategy was launched in April 2011.
It includes specific measures to improve social mobility,
from the foundation years to schools and adulthood.
Key policies to achieve social mobility include:

Pupil Premium

Raising the status and quality of teaching

Introduction of the English Baccalaureate

Academies and Free Schools Programme
All are underpinned by parental engagement and
early years programmes.
Pupil Premium: rationale: Disadvantage funding did not always
reach those who required most
support.
 Previous initiatives have done little to
close attainment gaps.
 Where funding is targeted, it can
make an impact on attainment for
disadvantaged pupils.
Eligibility
 Pupils from Reception to Year 11, who are known to be
eligible for free school meals, or were recorded as
service children in the January 2011 School Census
 Children who have been in care continuously for at least
six months (aged 4–15)
In January 2011 there were:
•1.217m FSM pupils (18%)
•1.77m Ever 6 pupils (26%)
•45,070 service children
•40,566 looked-after children
Funding
2012–13
£1.25bn
 £619 per Ever 6 FSM and looked-after children
 £250 per service child
 £50m for summer schools
2013–14
£1.87bn
 £900 per Ever 6 FSM and looked-after children
 service child amount still to be announced
 £50m for summer schools
2014–15
£2.5bn
Why use FSM as the indicator for
the Pupil Premium?
 It is accurate at identifying and targeting
underachievement, as the link between FSM
eligibility and underachievement is very
strong.
 Its provides historical information and is used
by both local authorities (LAs) and schools.
 All other measures are based on postcodes.
 It is recognised that not all of those families
eligible for FSM currently register, so the
Department is extending the coverage of the
Pupil Premium from 2012–13 to those who
have been known to be eligible for FSM in the
past six years, known as Ever 6.
How are schools using the
Pupil Premium?
Schools are free to use the Pupil Premium as they wish.
The DfE undertook a small-scale study of schools
before the introduction of funding. Schools indicated
they would use the Premium to:
 enable improvement to existing provision, rather than
any fundamental change to practice, and facilitate
longer-term strategic practice
 enable current support to continue and be extended to
more pupils
 make possible the planned roll out of already successful
interventions
 fund additional staffing – especially teachers to work
with identified underperforming pupils.
How are schools using the Pupil
Premium? Continued….
Results from a number of small studies suggest
schools are:
 employing additional specialist teaching staff
 employing and training high-quality support staff
 providing additional ‘out-of-school-hours’ teaching
 providing planned support on transition
 undertaking engagement with ‘hard-to-reach’ parents
 broadening pupils’ experiences of the world.
£50m Transition Summer School
Programme

Evidence shows that there can be a dip in performance for
pupils as they transfer from primary to secondary school.

Funding is sufficient to enable all pupils known to be eligible
for FSM and those who have been looked after in public care
continuously for six months or more to attend a summer
school.

The size and shape of the summer school schemes are
decided by schools and headteachers – they know best what
form the summer school should take, based upon the needs
of their pupils.

It is for schools to decide how best to staff the summer
schools, but teachers will not be compelled to do anything.

About 2,000 schools took part this summer.

David Laws announced that the programme will continue
throughout this spending review period – up to 2014–15.
How will schools be held to account
for their use of the Pupil Premium?
The Government is clear that it is important that schools should
be accountable to parents for how well their pupils do.
The Premium is a significant and increasing amount of money,
provided to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils, and
schools will be held to account for how it has been spent.

New measures have been included in the performance tables
that capture the achievement of disadvantaged children in our
schools who will directly benefit from the Pupil Premium.

The Premium now features in Ofsted’s inspection framework –
inspectors will consider the attainment of pupils who attract
the Premium and will look at how schools are using it to
remove barriers to learning for this group of pupils.

Schools will also be expected to publish an online statement
about how they have used their Pupil Premium.
Evaluation
 There will be an external evaluation of the first
year of the Pupil Premium to find out what the
impact of the Pupil Premium has been.
 The evaluation is underway and should report
in Spring 2013.
 An external evaluation of the first year of the
Summer Schools programme will also report in
early 2013.
