Pupil Premium at Camborne Nursery School
The early years pupil premium (EYPP) is additional funding for early years settings to improve the education they provide for 2, 3 and 4 year-olds.
Pupil Premium aims to support all children to achieve their full potential. The funding will be used to support vulnerable children to make better progress than national expectations and to close the attainment gap.
We use have used Pupil Premium for the following:
- Through staff development we have implemented 'Time to Talk' meetings to improve parental engagement and to support parents in helping their children to learn.
- We have provided workshops and training for parents in reading, mark making and physical development.
- We have provided opportunities for children to experience a range of activities such as drumming workshop, beach school, apple pressing and story telling workshops.
- Staff development has included emotion coaching and the theory of attachment to support children's emotional wellbeing to enable them to access the Early Years' curriculum.
Here at Camborne Nursery School we value every child’s individual learning journey and believe that children make progress through high levels of wellbeing, involvement and exploratory play. Pupil Premium will be used for targeted intervention to enhance teaching and learning within the Nursery.
