Abstract

The School of Educational Sciences, Bangor University was commissioned to conduct a review of the effective targeting of the Welsh Government’s Pupil Development Grant (PDG). The PDG was launched in 2012 and provides schools with additional funding. The amount is calculated based on the proportion of learners registered for free school meals (e-FSM). Schools are given the funding to reduce the barriers faced by learners from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds to support the closing of the attainment gap between socio-economically disadvantaged learners and non-disadvantaged learners.
