Prime aux élèves de la petite enfance (EYPP) Prime aux élèves de la petite enfance à l'école maternelle et au centre familial d'Everton Depuis avril 2015, l'école maternelle et le centre familial d'Everton ont pu réclamer un financement supplémentaire par le biais de la prime pour les élèves de la petite enfance (EYPP) dans le but de soutenir et d'enrichir le développement, l'apprentissage et les soins des enfants.

En raison des systèmes des autorités locales pour communiquer l'éligibilité, nous, en tant qu'école maternelle (par rapport à une école primaire), ne sommes souvent pas en mesure d'accéder à des informations claires concernant certains des enfants éligibles à la prime pour les élèves de la petite enfance (EYPP) jusqu'à ce que les enfants soient passés à leur prochain paramètre.

Sinon, nous travaillons toujours un trimestre, parfois deux trimestres en retard en utilisant le calcul d'éligibilité LA EYPP.

Nos autres programmes d'intervention EYPP incluent la mise en relation avec nos musiciens In Harmony, la menuiserie, le yoga et des visites éducatives supplémentaires pour soutenir l'estime de soi et la confiance en soi : Les musiciens de l'Orchestre philharmonique de Liverpool travaillent avec de petits groupes d'enfants éligibles à l'EYPP dans le cadre du programme plus large "In Harmony" auquel l'école maternelle et le centre familial d'Everton se sont engagés.

Being able to adapt ideas from the training and talking to colleagues on the webinar has been invaluable. Understanding children’s depth of knowledge in Early Maths has allowed me to enhance activities allowing me to see the immediate, positive impact on their learning. Ten simple hints and tips could make any setting become “language rich” and the ability to spot and fix communication “cold spots” personally I am so glad I signed up.
