The pupil premium was introduced in April 2011 and is paid to schools via a grant based on the number of students that fit in to one of the three categories:
The literacy and numeracy catch-up premium gives schools additional funding to support year 7 pupils who did not achieve at least level 4 in reading and/or maths at the end of key stage 2 (KS2) prior to September 2016 and is now funded to match previous years.
(Please note – any Pupil Premium funding is lagged by a year i.e. 2016/2017 funding is based on students at the school as at January School Census 2015/2016).
The pupil premium and catch-up premium is in addition to main school funding and allows us to provide the support structures and academic strategies for those students where intervention will help them to achieve success in line with both school and national expectations.
The school’s objectives are:
For secondary schools the pupil premium is £935 per child eligible on Free School Meals (Ever 6), £1900 for CIC, £300 for children with a parent in the forces (Ever 4) and £500 for each student in year 7 who did not achieve at least level 4 in reading and/or maths at the end of KS2 (or from 2016 based on the amount provided in past years to the school).
Highcliffe has an below national average percentage of students who are eligible for Free School Meals. The additional funding has enabled us to build on the excellent student welfare, support, academic guidance and teaching that all of our students enjoy and target more intensive support to those students in the above groups to increase levels of progress, attainment and aspirations.
In the financial year 2015/2016 Highcliffe School received £181,983 in Pupil Premium funding and £17,000 in Year 7 Numeracy and Literacy Catch Up funding. In 2014/2015 the school received £185,369.

Action Plan (PDF)
To help focus how the pupil premium funds are spent the school marks all expenditure against one of the following three strands. Whilst there will be crossover in actions contributing to narrowing the gap in each of the strands the expenditure will be listed under the action that we expect it will have biggest impact upon.

Highcliffe school undertakes a review across a large number of performance indicators including (but not limited to) examination results, attendance statistics, progression information, parental questionnaires and student voice.
2015/2016 Outcomes (Revised Performance Measures)
2015/2016 has seen the introduction of new school performance measure named Attainment 8 and Progress 8. More information about these are available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/progress-8-school-performance-measure
The schools outcomes for the 2015/2016 Year 11 Pupil Premium cohort are below:
Cohort |
Attainment 8 |
Progress 8 |
Pupil Premium |
40.9 |
-0.43 |
National Pupil Premium |
41.0 |
-0.38 |
School Non-Pupil Premium |
54.86 |
-0.01 |
Attainment 8
The Attainment 8 score of our Pupil Premium cohort was in line with the national Attainment 8 figure showing the students achieved as similar students nationally. However, the internal school gap between Pupil Premium and Non-Pupil Premium is large and a key area the school is working on across all year groups and has been over the last 12 months in lower year groups.
Progress 8
The schools overall Progress 8 figure was below the expected level at -0.08 (0.00 being expected). The table above shows that the Pupil Premium cohort’s Progress 8 figure was below that of the national Pupil Premium figure at -0.43 compared to -0.38. This also then shows the in-school gap between Pupil Premium and Non-Pupil Premium students. It is clear to the school that the progress made by this cohort is a whole school priority and therefore has been part of the schools development plan over the past 18 months and the school is confident from internal tracking information that these strategies are having a substantial impact.
Destinations
The most recent Depart for Education report regarding destinations of students again shows a pleasing trend of improvement regarding the progression to suitable education or training for our Pupil Premium cohort. Of the 2013/2014 pupil premium cohort 90% were in sustained education or training in 2015. This is above the national average of 87% and again builds on our 2012/2013 figure of 87% (national average of 85%).
