Funding data items
The 2yr old basis for funding and pupil premium reports are issued by the Early Years team following the submission of the headcount task.
All information relating to funding eligibility is captured in the Funding and Allowances Panel of the pupil’s record;
- Open up the pupil record and click on the drop down menu on the right hand side of the first panel.
- click on Funding and Allowances, click on the Early Years Pupil Premium tab and enter the information here;
- click on Additional information and tick the relevant box for the basis for 2yr old funding. There is also a field for the eligibility code to be entered.
Early Years Hours
Once the EY funding items information is up to date and accurate, you will be able to run your census and enter the hours for the Early Years into the Pupil Reconciliation panel. Please ensure all early years pupils are listed, as expected.
To do a bulk entering of hours you can simply click on Update Funded Hours and then enter the hours which will then populate into each pupil. You can then amend any that have different hours attended or funded.
Alternatively enter the hours separately for each pupil.
It is possible to download an excel spreadsheet (or other document) of the information by clicking onto Excel (Grid Actions) in the Pupil Reconciliation panel. This may make it easier to check the data that has been entered.
Once the information is entered you will need to Save and Validate your census. If you have made a mistake, you can either reset the whole panel to zero or amend each individual pupil in the list in the Pupil Reconciliation panel.
