Early Years Pupil premium

Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP)

Parkview Nursery School is committed to supporting all children to achieve their full potential regardless of their background. Our school aims of enriching every child’s learning and experiences to create confident, capable and independent learners sum up our vision for all children.

Research has shown that children who come from households with lower incomes are more likely to make less progress. To enable the school to improve outcomes for these children we receive a small amount of additional funding per disadvantaged pupil, this is known as the Early Years Pupil Premium.

This document illustrates how the EYPP allocation was used last year and our strategy for the current year.

Early Years Pupil Premium Allocation for 2024-25

EYPP funding is allocated to the school termly following the information provided by parents to the school being checked by the Local Authority for eligibility. Funding amounts are usually confirmed about half way through each term.

Based on the number of children submitted for eligibility a best estimate would be £3420.

Barriers to Educational Achievement

High quality early years provision with a strong focus on the Prime Areas of Learning is crucial for all pupils but particularly those who have experienced disadvantage in early life. We will use the funding to support disadvantaged pupils to make good progress whatever their starting points. This includes more able children who are entitled to EYPP.

At Parkview Nurery School, we consider on an individual basis what children's barriers to learning are and plan to support them accordingly.

Common barriers which have been identified are:

  • Lack of support at home due to time and available resources
  • Behavioural and emotional issues
  • Communication and language difficulties
  • Low confidence and self-esteem
  • Turbulent or changing family circumstances

How we plan to spend our EYPP

This year we plan to spend the EYPP funding on:

  • Running small group times for identified children which will give children the opportunity to learn in a smaller group focusing on building children’s confidence and social development and Communication development
  • Provide eligible children who attend nursery all day with a free school meal and free snacks for each EYPP child.
  • Work in partnership with Millom Family hub to enable parents to attend the Solihull Parenting Program and access individual family support when needed.
  • Implement Early Help when needed, attend ‘Team around the Family’ meetings and follow through any actions identified
  • Provide opportunities to go on a range of educational visits

Measuring the impact

We will monitor the impact of this strategy by ensuring that all pupils eligible for EYPP are clearly identified in our progress tracking system and monitor their achievements as a group compared to other entitled children attending the other nursery schools in Cumbria.

Key Persons are also made aware of which children in their group are eligible to EYPP to enable them to monitor their progress closely

Review

We will review this strategy in July 2026
