Stoneygate Nursery School – Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP)
Stoneygate Nursery School is committed to supporting all children to achieve their full potential regardless of their background.
Research has shown that children who have EAL and those who come from areas of deprivation as well as those with multiple vulnerability factors, are at greater risk of making lower progress than their peers. Stoneygate Nursery School receives additional funding to improve outcomes for these children, known as the Early Years Pupil Premium. This document illustrates how the EYPP allocation was used last year and our Nursery School’s strategy for the current year.

| Impact of funding | |||
| The data of children’s progress was used to measure the impact of how the EYPP funding was used to improve attainment.
EYPP Children’s levels of progress were compared against those NOT in receipt of EYPP funding. Impact was demonstrated that EYPP children progressed better than their peers in all but 2 areas of EYFS. EYPP-report shows that EYPP funded children who received additional input have performed better that the non EYPP cohort in all but two areas where the gap was insignificant (less than 10 %) |

Early Years Pupil Premium strategy 2018-19
| Early Years Pupil Premium Allocation for 2018-19 |
| 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 the annual amount for this year is expected to be significantly less than last year, approximately £2,000 |
| Barriers to Educational Achievement |
| We know that 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 EYPP funding to support identified pupils to make good progress whatever their starting points.
As our numbers of children eligible for EYPP funding have been relatively small this year, we consider all children on an individual basis, identifying any barriers to learning and provide plans to support these children accordingly. Common barriers which have been identified are:
|
| How we plan to spend our EYPP |
| This year we plan to spend the EYPP funding on:
Delivering targeted ‘Nurture Groups’ for identified children which will give children the opportunity to learn in a smaller group focusing on building children’s confidence and social development and Communication development. This will take place via Early Talk Boost and Forest Schools provision Extend the range of resources that we send home for parents to use to support home learning including “Bags of Fun” toy library.
|
| Measuring the impact |
| We will monitor the impact of this strategy by ensuring that all pupils eligible for EYPP funding are clearly identified in our progress tracking systems (EYFS & WellComm) and monitor their achievements as a group compared to non-EYPP funded children attending Stoneygate Nursery School.
Key Persons are also made aware of which children in their group are eligible for EYPP funding to enable them to monitor their progress closely |
| Review |
| We will review this strategy in March 2019 |
