The Pupil Premium Grant

Pupil Premium (PP) funding was introduced to help schools to close attainment gaps between disadvantaged students and their peers. It is based on eligibility for Free School Meals. Schools receive £955 for students in Years 7 to 11 if they are registered as eligible for Free School Meals at any point in the last six years. This statement details our school’s use of Pupil Premium (and Recovery Premium for the 2023-24 academic year) funding to help improve the attainment of our disadvantaged students. It outlines our Pupil Premium strategy, how we intend to spend the funding in this academic year and the impact that last year’s spending had.

The Adeyfield Academy is in receipt of £335,830 to support the progress of students eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant, alongside £57,390 Recovery Premium funding.

Furthermore, additional funding is received for any students who have been in the care of the local authority for 1 day or more, or who have left local authority care as a result of adoption, special guardianship order or a child arrangements order. This additional funding is received through the Hertfordshire Virtual School.

If you have any questions regarding eligibility for, or use of the Pupil Premium Funding, please contact Mrs Salma Riley-Haque, Vice Principal via email: financialsupport@hertfordshire.gov.uk  or by calling 0300 123 4048.
