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>
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>

In January the department published the schools cost technical note, alongside our written evidence to the School Teachers\u2019 Review Body. In that we demonstrated that, nationally, a 2% pay increase for teachers is affordable in 2019-20.<\/p>
The recommended award of 2.75% is therefore 0.75% over that assessment. In recognition of the difference between this award, and the 2% we have assessed schools can afford, we are providing an additional £105 million of funding for schools this year. This is on top of the £321 million the department is already providing this year through the Teachers\u2019 Pay Grant to cover the ongoing cost of the 2018 pay award.<\/p>

The department can confirm that none of the 16 successful applications to the Selective Schools Expansion Fund (SSEF), announced 3 December 2018, applied for a satellite expansion. As we have done for the bids that were successful in round one, we will publish the Fair Access and Partnership Plans for schools that were successful in round two. The department does not intend to publish full SSEF bids as they contain commercially sensitive information.<\/p>

Admission authorities for grammar schools are responsible for setting their selection tests, including determining the pass threshold. The department wants more pupils to be able to attend Good and Outstanding schools, and 98% of grammar schools are Good or Outstanding schools. Where the pass mark is determined by the admission authority to be a disproportionate barrier for entry for disadvantaged pupils in comparison to their non-disadvantaged peers, it could be considered appropriate to set a lower test pass mark for children eligible for pupil premium funding. Equally, grammar school admission authorities may raise their pass mark if they consider this appropriate. The admission authority would have to consider the impact of the changes on the allocation of places and their stated pupil admissions number.<\/p>
<\/p>
The School Admissions Code requires all admission arrangements to be fair. A selection test is part of a school\u2019s admission arrangements. The majority of schools who select on academic ability or aptitude age weight the results of their selection test. Where a selective school who admits on academic ability or aptitude does not age weight test results and a parent considers this unfair, they may raise an objection to the schools adjudicator, who has previously issued determinations on this particular issue.<\/p>
<\/p>
The progress 8 scores for all individual secondary schools, including non-selective schools, are available online at the department\u2019s Find and Compare schools website. The department also publishes data on pupil progress 8 scores in non-selective schools in all highly selective areas in \u201cKey stage 4 and multi-academy trust performance 2018 (revised)\u201d[1]: Selective and non-selective school performance data (of which one component is Progress 8 scores) is analysed by the department as part of ongoing consideration of school performance across the country.<\/p>
