What is EARLY YEARS PUPIL PREMIUM (EYPP)?

Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) is funding from the Government that we can use to do even more to support your child whilst they are at Nursery. 

For every child that qualifies for EYPP, we can claim up to £300 a year and we can use this money to add to what we currently offer. This may be through specialist training for our staff or new experiences for the children.

The money is paid directly to us, but you have to provide us with some details.

We would be grateful if you could complete the form below and return it to the school office before your child starts Nursery.

Tapestry 

At St Mary’s we use Tapestry an easy to use and secure online learning journal that helps staff and families share and celebrate their children’s learning and development. Tapestry builds a record of a child’s experiences and journey through their early years, using an online electronic journal. Using photos, videos and diary entries staff, along with the child’s parents/carers create a record of their child’s learning ‘journey’ together. The learning journal can be downloaded as a PDF document at the end of the year.

Please complete the Tapestry permission form below and return it to officestaff@stmarys.slough.sch.uk
