Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP)

HM Government believes that the Early Years Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way for early years’ settings to improve the education for disadvantaged 3 & 4 year olds.

All early years providers who deliver Government-funded early education can claim the early years pupil premium for children whose parents are in receipt of one or more of the following benefits:

• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseekers Allowance
• Universal Credit
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• the guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
• Working Tax Credit run-on, which is paid for 4 weeks after they stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
• They have been in Local Authority care for 1 day or more in England or Wales
• They have been adopted from care in England or Wales
• They have left care under a special guardianship order or residence order in England or Wales

Registering could provide up to an extra £300 for our school to fund valuable support, such as additional training or resources to help raise the quality of your child’s early education.

If you believe you may meet one of the above criteria, please speak to Mrs Joanne Jones, School Business Manager, in the school office.
