Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to early-years foundation stage profile results, what number and proportion of children in receipt of the early-years pupil premium achieved (a) a good level of development and (b) at least the expected level across all early-learning goals.

On 20 October, the department published the early years foundation stage profile (EYFSP) results for the 2015 to 2016 academic year, at national and local authority level. The EYFSP results are available at: www.gov.uk/government/statistics/early-years-foundation-stage-profile-results-2015-to-2016.

The data to determine the number and proportion of children in receipt of the early years pupil premium who achieve a good level of development and at least the expected level across all early learning goals are not readily available, and could only be compiled at disproportionate cost.
