Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP)

From April 2015 settings can claim extra funding to support children's development, learning and care.  National data and research tells us that children eligible for free school meals tend to do less well. In 2014 45% of children eligible for free school meals achieved the expected level at the end of the early years foundation stage, compared with 64% of other children. The EYPP provides us with extra funding to close this gap.
