Information: Early years supplementary grant updated allocations for 2023 to 2024

The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) has updated the allocations for the early years supplementary grant (EYSG).

In the EYSG methodology published in July 2023, we explained initial allocations would be paid based on the part-time equivalent (PTE) data from the January 2023 early years, schools and alternative provision censuses, followed by a final adjustment in summer 2024.

This final adjustment reflects the actual numbers of children taking up the entitlements, using information taken from the January 2024 censuses (with the exception of the disability access fund (DAF)).   

Payments for these adjustments will be made in August 2024.
