The Impact and Use of the Pupil Premium at St Francis Xavier’s College
The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is funding provided to schools and colleges to address inequalities in educational outcomes for disadvantaged children.
All students within the college who have been identified as being in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM) over the last six years (known as Ever 6 FSM/Disadvantaged) are eligible to draw down funding from the Government and for the academic year 2012-13 the level of funding per student was set at £623.00, this rose to £900.00 in 2013-14.In2014-15the funding rose again to £935.00 per pupil, this funding rate of £935.00 per pupil was maintained for 2015-16 and 2016-17.
Children who are Looked After (CLA)continue to be eligible for a higher rate of funding. Funding of £1,900.00 was introduced in 2014-15 for looked-after children (this is called Pupil Premium Plus). The eligibility criteria was extended to include those pupils who have been in care for one day or more, as compared with the six months in care currently required.
As in 2016-17, schools will also receive £1,900.00 for eligible pupils who have been registered on the school census as having been adopted from care or leaving care under a special guardianship or residence order.
The service premium will continue to be extended so that in 2017 to 2018, any pupil in reception to Year 11 who has been flagged as a service child since 2012 will continue to receive the premium (‘Ever 5’ measure). The service child premium will continue to be paid to schools at the rate of £300.00 per pupil.
As an academy, we have the autonomy of how to use the Pupil Premium at a local level to ensure best impact, whilst also having the accountability for what should be an improvement in attainment/achievement/progress for students in receipt of Pupil Premium Funding. What follows within this report is an outline of Pupil Premium spending to date, alongside some evidence of the impact of the funding to date:
Pupil Premium Use in 2016/2017

Assessing Impact Relative to Priorities
A profiling activity that identifies Disadvantaged/Ever 6 FSM (Pupil Premium), those eligible for Pupil Premium Plus funding and support (CLA and Post Care), and SCIE pupilsis undertaken annually,and SISRA, SIMS and other school based systems are continually updated with codes for this group allowing all staff to track progress of the Disadvantaged/ Ever 6 FSM (Pupil Premium) groups across all teaching groups and provide timely intervention.Individual teaching staff are aware of exactly who the pupil premium pupils are so as to continuously assess their progress on a lesson by lesson basis by the provision of a broadsheet and inclusion on all SIMS marksheets and pupil records, this information is shared regularly with staff and used to invite bids from teaching and non-teaching staff to fund projects to raise attainment, aspiration and narrow the differences between Disadvantaged/Ever 6 FSM (Pupil Premium) pupils and those not Ever 6 FSM(Pupil Premium).
