Early Years Pupil Premium

What is the Early Years Pupil Premium

The pupil premium is a sum of money given to schools each year by the Government to improve the attainment of disadvantaged children.This is based on research showing that children from low income families perform less well at school than their peers. Often, children who are entitled to pupil premium face challenges such as poor language and communication skills, less family support, lack of confidence and issues with attendance and punctuation. The pupil premium is intended to directly benefit the children who are eligible, helping to narrow the gap between them and the children in their class.
