Pupil Premium Grant Introduction The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools so that they can support particular groups of pupils who are known to be at risk of underachievement and close the attainment gap between them and their peers. The Pupil Premium is allocated to schools for pupils, in Years R to 11, that are known to be eligible for free school meals (FSM) or who have been eligible for FSM in the past six years (Ever 6). In the 2013 to 2014 financial year, schools received £953 for each eligible primary-aged pupil or £900 for each eligible secondary aged pupil. In the 2014 to 2015 financial year, schools have received the following funding for each child registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years:  

£1300 for primary-aged pupils £935 for secondary aged pupils

Schools have also received £1900 for each looked-after pupils who:    

Our School Brede is a small school with the original building established in 1872. We are situated in the heart of the beautiful East Sussex countryside with close links to our local community. There are currently 126 pupils on roll of which 22% are currently eligible for FSM or have received FSM in the past 6 years. 2014-15 We received £31100 Pupil Premium Funding, in total. The following is a breakdown of how we have spent that money:

We have chosen to allocate funds based on our school development priorities, the individual needs of our pupils and research based evidence from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF). Writing has been identified as an area of focus; therefore we have employed an additional qualified teacher to deliver 1-1 tuition. Evidence from the EEF indicates that ‘one to one tuition can be effective, on average accelerating learning by approximately five additional months’ progress’. Clicker 6, an ICT package that supports children in their writing, has been introduced across the school, but with an emphasis on KS1 as EEF states ‘There is clear evidence that it is more beneficial for areas like writing… on average an additional four months’ accelerated progress. Continuous professional development through the Thrive FTC programme will enable staff to make accurate assessments of pupils which in turn will lead to more focussed, individual support and intervention as EEF research has shown that ‘targeted interventions matched to specific students with particular needs or behavioural issues’ can accelerate progress by up to four additional months. We continue to support children’s attendance at extra-curricular activities as we believe in supporting our children to achieve in all areas, not just in terms of academic progress. As EEF suggests, ‘Participation in sports does not straightforwardly transfer to academic learning’. Based on EEF research we have planned CPD to improve the quality of marking and feedback and the benefits of meta-cognition and self-regulation within our school as they both offer ‘High impact for low cost’ and an average of 8 months accelerated progress.

Uptake of extra-curricular activities Extra-curricular activities are popular amongst all children and we are currently working on developing our children’s life potential through increasing the uptake by PPF children from its current 5%, compared to 42% uptake by non-FSM children. Parental engagement 15% of all parents returned a response to their child’s end of year report, of those 13% were from children in receipt of FSM. 2015-16 We have received £39 600 Pupil Premium Funding, in total.
