Pupil Deprivation Grant (PDG)

PDG is allocated annually from the Welsh Assembly Government to schools to ensure that children receive the support they need across all areas of our school; plans are made in line with Local Authority and Governing Body support.

Schools are expected to make the best use of this funding to implement sustainable strategies that will quickly bring about changes for learners eligible for free school meals or who are looked after.

As a school we identify learners who will benefit from additional support via PDG and employ additional teaching hours and associated resources to support, monitoring and evaluating the provision and outcomes, including small group intervention and consolidation work.
