Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP)
The Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) was introduced in April 2015, and is additional funding for early years settings to improve the education they provide for eligible 3 and 4 year olds.
The aim of the Early Years Pupil Premium is to close the gap between children from disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers by providing funding to early years providers to help them raise the quality of their provision. (DfE Consultation)
The EYPP pays an additional 66p per hour per eligible child, this equates to just over £376 per child taking up their full 570 hours Universal Free Entitlement (FE). Only children who claim Universal FE will be able to attract the EYPP however they do not need to take up their full Universal entitlement to receive it. EYPP will be paid in proportion to the child’s actual Universal FE hours.
At Greenway, we use EYPP funding to plan and deliver additional resources and enrichment activities for all children who we think would benefit from them, but which always include the children for whom the EYPP was claimed. Such activities vary widely depending on the children, and have previously included special exploration boxes with resources tailored to the child's interests, a special Tea Party, and one-to-one activities.
Children will be eligible to claim EYPP if they meet at least one of the following criteria:
• Their family receives one of the following:
o Income Support
o Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
o Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
o Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
o The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
o Child Tax Credit, provided they are not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190
o Working Tax Credit run-on, which is paid for 4 weeks after they stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
o Universal Credit if a parent is entitled to Universal Credit, they must have an annual net earned income equivalent to and not exceeding £7,400.
• They have been in local authority care for one 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 child arrangements order in England or Wales.
Please speak to your Key Worker, email the admin team, or chat with Miss Dell (our Horsham Setting Manager) if you think your child might be eligible for EYPP. With your consent, we will submit some of your details from your Parent Declaration Form to West Sussex County Council, who will then use the DfE's eligibility checking processes to determine whether your child should receive this additional funding.
