Introducing the balanced approach

How to spend your EYPP

When you take a balanced approach to spending your Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP), you can make sure that you are:

• Continuing to develop quality practice to deliver the greatest benefits for disadvantaged children.
• Considering the particular strengths and needs of each child.
• Making and embedding changes to practice, so that your EYPP funding continues to benefit disadvantaged children in the future.

The balanced approach aligns with the Department for Education’s (DfE) guidance for local authorities, so you can be confident that your approach meets their expectations.
