Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP)
Children in care aged 3 or 4 who are in receipt of 15 hours of free childcare are eligible to receive the early years pupil premium (EYPP).

Eligible children in care may receive up to a maximum of £300 per financial year, and planned expenditure and associated progress should be recorded by the child's early years provider through their Personal Education Plan (PEP).
