We have a very small number of children who are eligible for Early Years Pupil Premium (three). The barrier to learning for these children is confidence in speaking and the use of spoken language to express their feelings. In order to support these children, a number of strategies have been put in place. These include – Nurture sessions, BLAST to support speech, Talkboost and Early Words together (run by Outreach), and individual action plans. The money we have received has supported staff training, the purchase of resources, and the development of a quiet space (sensory room) to support individual needs.
