UPDATED: Pupil Development Grant (PDG) Access - Additional Year Groups Added

Welsh Government are pleased to announce that they are extending the grant for additional year groups for this academic year, namely, Years 2, 4 and 6, at a rate of £125 per learner. This is in recognition of the extreme pressures facing many families, and the subsequent rise in eligibility of Free School Meals.  The grant is now available to all school years Reception - 11.

If you have already made a claim or received a payment for a year 2, 4, or 6 pupil under the LAC criteria, then no application can be made this academic year.  Details on how to claim, along with the terms and conditions can be found on the CCBC website via the link below.

PLEASE NOTE THAT NO APPLICATIONS CAN BE MADE FOR SEPTEMBER 2022 UNTIL JULY 2022. THE APPLICATIONS FOR THE ADDITIONAL YEAR GROUPS 2, 4, & 6 ARE FOR PUPILS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN YEARS 2, 4, OR 6 NOW.
