<p>The department has not conducted an assessment of the relationship between the
proportion of disadvantaged pupils attending a school and its likelihood of being
rated by Ofsted as good or outstanding.</p><p>Schools are allocated additional funding,
in the form of the pupil premium, for pupils on roll who are classed as disadvantaged.
Pupils are classed as disadvantaged through having been registered for free school
meals at any point in the last 6 years, being looked after or having left care through
adoption or other specified routes. Schools have flexibility over the ways in which
they use this funding to improve the attainment and other outcomes of their disadvantaged
pupils and these can include measures to improve the quality of teaching received
by those pupils. Ofsted will also consider how leaders and governors spend the pupil
premium, their rationale and the intended impact, as part of school inspection.</p><p>
