Pre-school Education: Pupil Premium
(asked on 30th June 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much has been spent on the early years pupil premium in each of the last five years.
Funding for the Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) is allocated through the early years block of the Dedicated Schools Grant. The funding allocation for the EYPP in each of the last five years is below.
Funding allocation for the EYPP | |
2015-2016 | £49.92 million |
2016-2017 | £31.26 million |
2017-2018 | £29.28 million |
2018-2019 | £28.96 million |
2019-2020 | £29.59 million |
These figures represent allocation rather than expenditure. The higher initial allocation figure in 2015-16 reflects uncertainty over the take-up of what was a novel policy.
