uin	3831
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2020 answer text <p>Since 2011, the Department has provided extra funding through the pupil premium to support disadvantaged pupils. The Department has provided £2.4 billion in funding this year alone so that schools have the resources to focus on improving the outcomes of disadvantaged pupils. This year, schools in York are receiving £5 million in additional funding through the pupil premium.</p><p>School leaders can use the grant in any way they choose to meet their pupils’ needs. Through the establishment of the £137 million Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), the Department commissioned extensive research into how schools can best improve outcomes for disadvantaged pupils.</p><p>The EEF’s definitive Pupil Premium Guide, published last summer, brings together 8 years of evidence. The guide recommends that, when spending the pupil premium, schools prioritise the quality of teaching (for example, by investing in professional development). The guide also advises that targeted academic programmes and wider readiness-to-learn support should be prioritised as these approaches are proven to make a difference to pupil outcomes when delivered effectively. The guide is available at the following link: <a href="https://educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/evidence-summaries/pupil-premium-guide/" target="_blank">https://educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/evidence-summaries/pupil-premium-guide/</a>.</p><p>The EEF has recently established a network of Research Schools across England, such as Huntingdon Research School, to help school leaders to access and implement effective practice.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 20/01/2020 17:40:53 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
