Abstract
The Pupil Development Grant (PDG) is funding given to schools and educational
settings which aims to raise the attainment of children and young people from low-income households and those who are care-experienced. This report was
commissioned in response to recommendations from a previous review on the use of
the PDG in Wales, Review of the Pupil Development Grant (Tiesteel et al., 2023).
Findings from the previous report recommended that there was a need to
understand how members of staff responsible for the PDG funding in educational
settings in Wales use and view the PDG. The report also highlighted a need to
understand the issues related to the targeting, implementation, and monitoring of the
PDG as well as the future needs of educational settings in relation to the barriers
associated with poverty.
