Croesyceiliog Primary School – Pupil Deprivation Grant 2024 / 2025

It is a Welsh Government requirement that the school make you aware of the way in which we use our Pupil Deprivation Grant. This is a grant that is targeted at supporting pupils who are eligible for free school meals (this being used as a measure of deprivation).

This school currently has a free school meal population of 20.6% which generates a grant of £105991 in the current year (24/25). 

The school undertakes the following activities in order to support pupils facing the challenges of poverty and deprivation:

• The provision of a daily Nurture Group and individual wellbeing support
• The provision of support programmes to help pupils with their language development
• The provision of support programmes to help pupils with their numeracy development
• Staff training to support the above

The school’s PDG and EIG plans are regularly scrutinised by the Governing Body, supported by advice from the EAS and monitored by the Local Authority.
