OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The introduction and nationwide implementation of the Pupil Premium policy in 2011 was a major policy initiative by the then Coalition Government to address socio-economic segregation between schools in England, and reduce the persistent attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers. Over the past fifteen years, the policy has undergone some modifications to maintain its suitability for addressing educational disadvantage. In the presentation, I will provide an overview of the policy, discussing its evolution, challenges, and the limitations of evaluations so far. This work presented will be based on analysis of the Pupil Parent Matched Dataset (PPMD) dataset on household income in England, linked to the National Pupil Database (NPD) including the Pupil Level Annual School Census (PLASC), from 2008 to 2022. The PPMD dataset identifies pupils within the education system from low- or modest-income households who are not already captured by the Department’s existing measures of disadvantage, such as free school meal (FSM) eligibility. Data on children and young people aged 2 to 19 was transferred from the Department for Education (DfE) to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) for matching, using personal characteristics sourced from the NPD/PLASC. This is the first time that such a dataset has been made available by the DfE for research, and so the project involved considerable preliminary consideration and cleaning.
