At both Rawcliffe and Rawcliffe Bridge Primary Schools we use our Pupil Premium funding to ensure that there are no differences, or diminishing differences in learning and welfare, between pupils with a disadvantage, in comparison to other pupils nationally with a similar starting point.
It is not the funding itself that will improve progress, but how schools use it. Some children require additional support to help them meet their potential, and the Pupil Premium provides schools with the resources they need to provide that support. Where funding is carefully targeted, UK studies show an impact on attainment gaps for disadvantaged pupils - particularly in English and mathematics. Our school has demonstrated that with effective, appropriate and early intervention, progress is improved.
Barriers to learning in our schools. Every child is different, and so are their circumstances, but some common barriers to learning for pupils who are Pupil Premium in our schools include:

Barriers to learning in our schools. Every child is different, and so are their circumstances, but some common barriers to learning for pupils who are Pupil Premium in our schools include:
- The amount of support that is available at home.
- Language and communication skills.
- A lack of confidence
- Behavioural and emotional difficulties/needs
- Complex family situations that affect how well a child flourishes. This can sometimes be for a short period of time but can also be long running and stressful for the child.
- Aspirations, including attendance.
Our Pupil Premium Staff Champion is Miss Knight.
Our Pupil Premium Governor Champion is Yvonne Bellwood.
Our champions work together to co-ordinate the school’s approach to raising the achievement of disadvantaged students (those in receipt of pupil premium funding).
Together they support, educate and liaise with parents/carers to create and promote positive working relationships and to raise aspirations.
They lead and deliver academic intervention with disadvantaged students through collaboration with key members of staff. They identify disadvantaged students’ barriers to learning in order to design, lead and deliver appropriate intervention strategies.
