PDG Grant
What is the Pupil Development Grant (PDG) Grant?
Schools and settings are expected to use the PDG funding for ‘whole-school or setting approaches’. These approaches can benefit all of their children and young people. However, they must specifically support the needs of eligible learners in light of the disadvantage they face. Approaches can include:
- professional learning for teachers
- tailored learning and teaching interventions
School leaders can decide how to spend their PDG funding. However, they should ensure they plan and spend it in line with the grant terms and conditions and reflect the Welsh Government PDG guidance.
