Additional funding, known as ‘Early Years Pupil Premium’ (EYPP) is given to schools for those parents who are in receipt of certain benefits or were the child has been adopted from care or is subject to a special guardianship or child arrangement order. This means we can receive around an extra £100 per child per term to enhance the support and education that they receive.

Our aim is to use our EYPP to provide experiences and resources that many of our children eligible for EYPP wouldn’t otherwise access.

This will also support other disadvantaged children. By buying in these exciting experiences, we anticipate that this will give the children something thrilling, that they just have to communicate about, and that will enhance their Cultural Capital.

In England, all parents and carers of 3 and 4-year-olds are entitled to 15 hours a
week childcare support with registered childcare providers. Eligible working parents
and carers of children aged 3-4 can also get an additional 15 hours childcare
support, bringing their total up to 30 hours a week.
Some eligible parents of 2-year-old children may also be entitled to 15 hours
childcare support, if they receive some additional forms of government support.

Your hours can be used per week for 38 weeks of the year. You may be able use
your hours for up to 52 weeks if you use fewer than your total hours per week. Check
with your childcare provider to find out if this is something they offer.
You can use Tax-Free Childcare or Universal Credit for Childcare whilst claiming
your 15 or 30 hours of childcare support. Find out the right offer for you and how to
apply for 30 hours of childcare.
