Financial Allocation of the Grant
Total PDG and EYPDG awarded to the school for the period April 2023- March 2024 was £36,072
What the PDG supports
The PDG and EYPDG grants are intended to overcome the additional barriers that learners from disadvantaged backgrounds face which prevent them from attaining as well as their peers, whatever their ability.
The PDG may be used for whole-school initiatives that will particularly benefit learners who are e-FSM and CLA (formally known as looked after children). These include whole staff development activities such as INSET days which focus on the impact of deprivation on attainment and train staff to use strategies which are known to be particularly effective. Successful strategies include the use of feedback, working with parents/carers, metacognition and learning about learning.
The grant can be used to introduce effective tracking systems which identify needs and help practitioners to design tailored solutions which can be monitored and evaluated for impact.
