The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011. It was allocated to children from lower-income families who were known to be eligible for free school meals and children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months in local authority care. It is also allocated to families of servicemen and women.

At Rise Park Academies, we receive this Pupil Premium funding from the Government which is in addition to the main school funding. Schools are free to decide how the Pupil Premium is spent on these children in order to close the attainment gap between vulnerable groups of children and to ensure they reach their full educational potential.

​​

Our Termly tracking enables us to identify our targeted groups of children who are in need of small group intervention work. This tracking also enables us to see the impact of the intervention work. The leadership Team analyse performance data in order to identify gaps in attainment and to determine the focus areas for additional support to children. In addition to this teachers identify pupil premium children on their planning and ensure through first quality teaching and differentiation of the curriculum that their individual needs are met.
