Robin Hood Infants School
Pupil Premium Funding 2020/21
Background
The Pupil Premium Grant is allocated to children from low-income families who are currently known to be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) in both mainstream and non-mainstream settings and children who are looked after. In 2013-14 this also included pupils eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years.
Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit. For example, it can be used for targeted support in classes or to fund additional places in after school or lunch time clubs. We are held accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support pupils from low-income families. From September 2012, we have been required to publish online information about how we have used the Pupil Premium. This will ensure that parents and others are made fully aware of the attainment of pupils covered by the Pupil Premium and the extra support that they receive.
At Robin Hood Infants School, our key objective in using the Pupil Premium Grant is to narrow the gap between pupil groups. As a school we have a good track record of ensuring that pupils make good or better progress, but historically levels of attainment are lower for FSM (eligible for free school meals) – this is a national trend.
Through targeted interventions we are working to eliminate barriers to learning and progress. Many children start school with low attainment on entry and our aim is to ensure that they make accelerated progress in order to reach age related expectations (or better) at the end of KS1.
With the introduction of Universal Free School Meals in September 2014, there has been a reduction in the number of parents registering for their child to receive pupil premium funding. We have attempted to increase take up in the following ways:-

Impact
In the first half term of each academic year, teachers assess children in their classes in reading, writing and mathematics in KS1 and against the Early Years Foundation stage profile in Reception classes. At target setting meetings, targets are set for all pupils. Pupils attracting pupil premium funding are highlighted and targets are set in comparison to all pupils and also to ensure progress against starting points for individual pupils.
Progress in academic subjects is measured each term through assessments and pupil progress meetings.
