Early years pupil premium [ALL Schools] [used for funding]
Early years pupil premium (EYPP) (N00639) is for disadvantaged three and four year olds (all three and four year olds are entitled to up to 15 hours per week of government funded free entitlement early education for 38 weeks of the year).

Children are eligible to receive EYPP (N00639) if they receive the universal 15 hours entitlement and either:

• meet benefits related criteria equivalent to those for free school meals (please note: meals delivered as part of the universal entitlement are not ‘FSM’; receipt of FSM does not automatically qualify a child for EYPP)1
• are in the care of the local authority (in England or Wales)
• have left care (in England or Wales) through:
– adoption
– special guardianship
– a child arrangements order (formally known as a residence order)

As early years pupil premium data is only collected in the spring (January) census, the age range for 3 year olds is not restricted to the academic year (as is the usual practice with age ranges).

In receipt through eligibility for economic reasons: where they are in receipt via eligibility for the benefits related criteria for FSM
In receipt through eligibility for both reasons: where they are in receipt through eligibility for both economic and other reasons
In receipt through eligibility for other reasons: where they are in receipt due to eligibility for being in care or due to leaving care through adoption, a special guardianship order or a child arrangement order
In receipt through eligibility for unknown basis: where the school or AP provider knows the child is in receipt of EYPP (due to receiving funding from the local authority) but does not necessarily know the reason why

Post looked after arrangements [used for funding]
This data item (N00186) identifies those children on roll on census day who were looked after immediately before adoption or prior to being subject of a residence or special guardianship order. Those who have parental responsibility (adoptive parents, special guardians and carers) choose if they wish schools to know whether children have been adopted, or are under a special guardianship order, residence order or a child arrangements order. Schools will be able to record the information using the following codeset; only one of the values will apply to each pupil:

4.3.12 Adopted from care [collected for: ALL schools]
Guidance for the January school census 2014 asked schools to include, for the first time, children adopted from care on or after 30 December 2005 as well as those who left care under a special guardianship order or residence order (now known as a child arrangements order4) so that they attract the pupil premium worth £1900 per pupil this financial year.

Schools are now asked to include in this data return all children adopted from care and not just who were adopted from care after 30 December 2005. All are now eligible to attract the pupil premium this financial year. This data item will therefore identify all eligible children on census day who will attract £1900 this financial year.

It will be up to those who have parental responsibility (adoptive parents, special guardians and carers of former looked after children on residence/child arrangements orders) to decide if they wish to self-declare their children’s status to schools. Parents should be asked to provide supporting evidence, for example, a photocopy of the adoption order, and asked to confirm that their child was adopted from care. Parents may conceal sensitive information (eg the name of the birth parents) if they wish.

Schools are reminded that this is a particularly sensitive data item, and of the need for confidentiality. Schools should ensure that, as for other pupil level data items, they comply with their responsibilities with respect to the data protection act when processing this data.
Schools will be able to record the information using the following codeset. Only one of the values will apply to each pupil and a school’s MIS should provide a default value of N – not declared.
