answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2014 answer text <p>The pupil premium and the service children premium are additional resources provided to maintained schools and academies in England to support the education of 4-16 year-olds who meet the eligibility requirements.</p><p>The Government has announced that a new early years pupil premium, worth £50 million, will be introduced from April 2015. It will give disadvantaged three- and four-year-old children better access to quality early education which evidence shows can have a major impact on their school readiness. The Government will consult later this year on how best to implement these proposals.</p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 08/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws
