Early Years Pupil Premium 2022-2023

Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) 

Please see the attached Pupil Premium Statement for 2022-23 below. 

Our Governor with responsibility for EYPP is Taryn Grant.

The EYPP is a government initiative that targets additional funding to children from predominantly lower income households.

To discover if your family is entitled to EYPP and for further information please look here. 

We receive extra funding for these children and use the money to support each entitled child in developing and learning and believe that they can succeed.

Governors have agreed that whilst the Pupil Premium Grant must prioritise the achievement and wellbeing of Disadvantaged pupils, the benefits of resources and services should - wherever possible- extend to include other pupils, many of whom are also vulnerable. We use this money to provide extra staff support and resources to ensure there is accelerated learning to ensure there is little or no difference between the achievement of eligible children and those that are not.

It should be noted that strategies facilitated by the introduction of the EYPP are planned for on a termly basis and the funding allocation is received for a financial year (April – March).

The provision and impact through EYPP is monitored through all levels of leadership and management:

  •          Governor meetings
  •          Senior Leadership Team meetings
  •          Pupil Progress Meetings
  •          Performance Management Meetings
  •          Continual Professional Development

 

Principles

  • We ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of each pupil
  • We ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups; this includes ensuring that the needs of socially disadvantaged pupils are adequately assessed and addressed.
  • We recognise that pupils eligible for Pupil Premium have a wide range of needs, including stretch and challenge for the most able, and we use the funding to improve outcomes for the full range of eligible pupils.
  • We also recognise that not all pupils who are vulnerable are registered or qualify for Pupil Premium funding. We reserve the right to allocate Pupil Premium funding to support any pupil, or group of pupils, who the school has identified as being at risk of underachievement.
  • We track the progress of pupil premium children rigorously to ensure there is a positive impact on learning outcomes.
