Pupil Premium/Disadvantaged

Valley Academy (Previously OIAMFS) is committed to ensuring that pupils achieve or exceed their potential and secure their next steps. Our knowledge, rich, broad, balanced curriculum, supports and challenges all our pupils. We are focused on the progress and attainment individual pupils make over time, and in particular the progress and attainment of those pupils supported by the Pupil Premium funding. 

This Pupil Premium Strategy identifies the barriers to learning faced by many of our Pupil Premium students and we have used research evidence to determine the strategies, which we will use to mitigate these challenges, with clear outcomes to measure progress towards these objectives. We use the Department for Education’s reporting template as part of our 3-year plan.

In making decisions on the use of the Pupil Premium fund we will:

  • Ensure the funding allocated to Valley Academy is used for its intended purpose.
  • Ensure the strategies we adopt are supported by the latest research, which indicates they work to close the progress and attainment gaps, adapting these as necessary to meet the needs of Valley Academy students.
  • Be transparent in the reporting of how Valley Academy has used the Pupil Premium fund, so that parents, interested stakeholders and all other agencies are fully aware of how this additional resource has been used.
