up to providers how they channel the funding. Charlotte Goddard looks at
what settings should be thinking about
The Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) is extra funding that aims to improve outcomes for disadvantaged threeand four-year-olds who are receiving the free entitlement to early education. Children who meet the criteria, which includes those whose families are on benefits, looked-after children and children whose parents are in the armed forces, will be eligible for an extra 53p per hour, up to £302.10 per year.
The funding kicks off in April, although seven trial areas have been able to access it since the beginning of the year. The funding is not ringfenced, but providers must be able to show Ofsted how they are tracking whether the funding is improving a child's outcomes, as well as providing evidence on any impact already achieved.
