The Pupil Premium grant provides funding to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in state-funded schools in England.

Pupil premium funding is allocated to eligible schools based on the number of:

• pupils who are recorded as eligible for free school meals, or have been recorded as eligible in the past 6 years (referred to as Ever 6 FSM)
• children previously looked after by a local authority or other state care, including children adopted from state care or equivalent from outside England and Wales
• children whose parents are in service or as part of a commitment to the armed forces covenant

At Rockcliffe we aim to use the grant to support our disadvantaged children to achieve as well as their peers and give them wide range of experiences and opportunities. Our Pupil Premium Strategy sets out how we aim to do this and is regularly reviewed by the Senior Leadership Team.
