Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium Grant is allocated by local authorities, or the DfE, to schools and academies with pupils between Reception and Year 11. To receive the grant your child must fit a certain eligibility criteria.
In the academic year 2023-24, the grant per eligible pupil is £1,455 in primary schools, with £2,530 for looked-after and previously looked-after children. Schools have the freedom to spend the Premium, which is additional to their underlying budget, in a way they think will best support raising the achievement of funded pupils in comparison with their non-Pupil Premium peers within the school and nationally, whatever their academic starting point and potential. As well as receiving extra funding for Pupil Premium, children also receive a free school meal (FSM).
To find out if your child is eligible, please visit the school office and we will be happy to help.
We will use the Pupil Premium funding received by the school to deliver our overall vision to those pupils who receive it and the wider school community where possible.
Notice: If you think your child is eligible for Pupil Premium funding and you have not applied, please speak to the school office immediately. Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 receive Universal Free School Meals (UFSM) but this entitlement is lost in Year 3 onwards unless your child receives Pupil Premium funding. UFSM and Pupil Premium are two different entitlements so please speak to the school office if you are unsure or have any questions.

Sports Pupil Premium Funding
At Valley Primary Academy, we aim to provide opportunities to enhance and enrich children’s PE provision and allow opportunities to participate in sporting challenges and competitions.
We try hard to ensure that children receive two hours of quality PE teaching, 1 hour with their class teacher and 1 hour with our PE instructor. We also have an additional 20 minute swimming lesson for children across Key Stage 1 and 2.
We were awarded the Silver School Games Mark for 2021 -22 for our commitment, engagement and delivery of competitive school sport.
From September 2013 each school received extra sports funding through Sports Pupil Premium. In our school this amounted to around £10,000. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
