Early Years Pupil Premium

From April 2015, nurseries, schools, childminders and other childcare providers have been able to claim extra funding through the Early Years Pupil Premium to support children’s development, learning and care.  This premium is paid to us for children who qualify under the Early Years Pupil Premium criteria. 

We can use the extra funding in any way we choose to improve the quality of the early years education that we provide for your child. This could include, for example, additional training for our staff on early language, investing in partnership working with our colleagues in the area to further our expertise or supporting our staff in working on specialised areas such as speech and language. 

For the academic year 2025/2026, we received £4491 and improved the quality of our provision for the children by:

Providing small group times to develop concentration

Providing small group times to develop early reading and early maths skills

Sports sessions to develop listening and attention skills and boost confidence

Music sessions to develop listening and attention skills and boost confidence

Participating in the Education Endowment Foundation evaluated Maths Champions Programme to improve the children's mathematical understanding and curiosity
