Summer School Fund
What is the Summer School Fund?
It is Department for Education (DfE) budget, which can be claimed by Secondary Schools as part of their Summer School Programme. This budget should be used to provide a blend of academic and enrichment activities to ease the transition to Secondary School for new Year 7 pupils. It is intended to improve mental health and help to replace any lost learning time at Primary school during periods of lockdown and isolation.
How did we use the funding we claimed from the DfE?
We hosted a week-long summer school for our new Year 7 pupils prior to their start date during the summer holidays. Attendance was excellent with 133 pupils attending. We delivered a selection of academic classes, as well as team building exercises, fun activities and sports.
We allocated funds as follows:

Pupil Premium Information
The Pupil Premium is allocated to schools in respect of children from low-income families who are currently known to be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) and children who have been looked after continuously for more than 6 months. As from 2012-13 this will also include students eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years (known as the Ever 6 FSM measure).
Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit to "close the gap" between children from disadvantaged circumstances and those above the low-income threshold, it is not linked to a specific child, but is to be used for overall impact. However, we are held accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support students from low-income families.
For more information on Pupil Premium, its purpose, how the School uses the grant, eligibility, funding allocation information and how to request support, please read the Pupil Premium Policy and Statement on our Policies Page.

16-19 Tuition Fund
What is the 16-19 Tuition Fund?
The 16-19 tuition fund is a one-off funding allocation for the 20-21 academic year only. The fund is being provided to support learners to catch up and close any gaps in their learning that may have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 lockdown. The fund will be used to support small group and 1:1 tuition for 16-19 year old learners in English, maths and other courses where learning has been disrupted. This tuition will be in addition to the planned study programme hours.
Who is this funding for?
Leaners must be aged 16-19 and must not have already achieved a GSCE grade 5 or above in Maths and/or English by age 16.
How Ribston Hall High School is using these funds:
Tuition groups will comprise of up to 5 students and the tuition sessions will be scheduled in addition to the planned programme of study hours already timetabled for the academic year 20-21. Tuition sessions will be delivered face to face, online or through a blended delivery model.
Examples of some of the Tuition Support on offer will include:
- Revision workshops and re-sit preparation
- Academic skills support and development
- Catch-up sessions
Tuition support will be based on an individual need’s assessment, the identification of an individual starting point, clear learning goals, expectations and outcomes.
