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 strategy 2020-21
Early Years Pupil Premium Allocation for 2020-21 |
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 £2000

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. As our numbers of children eligible for EYPP are relatively small we consider on an individual basis what their barriers to learning are and plan to support them accordingly. Common barriers which have been identified are:

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 |

We will review this strategy in September 2021 |
