Saint Joseph’s Infant School PDG Statement
The Pupil Deprivation Grant (PDG) is allocated to schools with pupils who come from low-income families and are currently known to be eligible for free school meals
(e-FSM) and pupils who have been looked after continuously for more than six months (LAC).
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 frees school meals or who are LAC.
As a school we have agreed the following three steps:
- To identify the target group of pupils, its characteristics and needs
- To plan interventions which make the most effective use of resources
- To monitor and evaluate the impact of resources
2020 -21 Saint Joseph’s Infant School has been provided with a PDG (35 children) allocation of £26,450
At Saint Joseph’s we have a comprehensive plan, agreed and monitored by Neath Port Talbot Local Authority and ERW, to promote progress and remove barriers to learning for students eligible for this funding.
We are using the funding available to implement:
- Wellcomm (Nursery)
- Nursery POPAT
- Speechlink
- Languagelink
- Foundation Phase POPAT
- Relationship Bases Play/ELSA
