Who is entitled to Pupil Premium money and what is it for?
We receive Pupil Premium funding based on the number of pupils in the school who are currently eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) or who have received free school meals at some time within the past 6 years. Service children and those children who are Looked After by the Local Authority, are also identified as receiving Pupil Premium money.
At Rougham Primary School, we are committed to ensuring all our children make the best possible progress. We track the achievement of every child on a regular basis and do all we can to make sure each child achieves their potential. We also have a duty to ensure that no group of children are disadvantaged due to their gender, ethnic origin or family income or background.
We use the money in ways which best benefit pupils in the following ways:
Adult support for small groups of children at risk of not making at least expected progress. This support includes small group interventions - maths groups, Gaps in Numbers, Fisher Family Trust, Dancing Bears, additional phonics and other targeted support.
To support more able pupils within this group to ensure they reach their full potential.
Fund places at our after school sports clubs for some of our Pupil Premium children.
Funding for places at holiday clubs.
We support families in receipt of Pupil Premium with help towards school trips and residential visits.
We purchase resources specifically targeted at raising the attainment of Pupil Premium children.
We also recognise the importance of building children’s confidence and self-esteem and have a Nurture Group.

The impact at the end of the academic year
Writing – 33% made 6 steps, 33% 3 steps, 1 child (SEN) made 1 step Maths – 66% made 5 steps progress and 1 child (SEN) made 3 steps. Monitoring of interventions showed that children made progress and most met targets identified.
Where can we find the evidence?

The Headteacher will be reporting to Governors on the use of the Pupil Premium funding and the progress of pupils in the termly reports. The progress of pupils on free school meals is monitored by class teachers and the Headteacher. The School promotes the uptake of free school meals by reminding parents of it in newsletters and parent meetings such as our new intake meeting in June. In 2016-17 - 9% of our pupils were eligible for Ever 6/FSM.
