How to add/amend Early Years information in Bromcom for school census.


You will have been sent this information by the Early Years team following the submission of the headcount task.

Open up the pupil record and click on the drop down menu on the right hand side of the first panel.  You will need to click on Funding and Allowances.  You need to add Early Years Pupil Premium from the dropdown menu in here;

You can add Early Years Pupil Premium and eligibility code in the Additional Information section and tick the relevant box for the basis for 2yr old funding.  There is also a field for the eligibility code to be entered.

Once this 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.
