Pupil Premium Funding

Pupil Premium is additional funding that is given to all publically funded schools to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils. Nationally the attainment of children who are or have been eligible for free school meals is consistently below those children who have never been eligible.

Pupil Premium money allows schools to target inventions to close the gap in attainment between these two groups.

Pupil premium is paid to schools according to how many pupils have;

• Registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years
• Been in local authority care for 6 months or longer

We aim to develop a range of interventions for children eligible for pupil premium to ensure they make accelerated progress where necessary. Rookery’s objective is to ensure that we have no gap in progress or attainment between these two groups of pupils.
