    Gwynn Jones’ Pupil Development Grant Statement

    The purpose of the Pupil Development Grant is to improve the educational


    attainment of pupils from low income families and who are entitled to free
    school meals (eFSM). Schools are expected to maximise the use of this funding by
    introducing sustainable strategies which will quickly lead to improved outcomes
    for pupils entitled to free school meals.

    As a school, we want to learn from the best practice in Wales and beyond by:

    1. planning interventions that focus on improving the attainment of pupils from


    deprived backgrounds, regularly monitoring pupils’ progress and evaluating the
    impact of the intervention.
    2. integrating plans for the effective use of the PDG into the School Development
    Plan, basing our practice on sound evidence and including them as part of a
    whole school strategy.
    3. balancing whole school strategies with targeted interventions to ensure that
    all learners entitled to free school meals benefit as individuals, whilst the whole
    school also develops its ability to support every learner to achieve their full
    potential.

    In 2019-20 Ysgol T. Gwynn Jones was allocated a total Pupil Development Grant
    of £46,300.

    Ysgol T. Gwynn Jones has a comprehensive plan, agreed and monitored by GwE
    and Conwy Local Education Authority, to promote high expectations attainment
    and progress and to remove barriers to learning for pupils entitled to this
    funding.

    We have used the funding available to:

    Further develop the Nurture programme at the school by introducing a school dog to help with the
    pupil and staff well-being. She will also be used with anxious pupil at the start of the school day to
    improve attendance of those pupils suffering with separation anxiety and with the reluctant readers
    (by the end of the school year once training has been completed.

    Part fund the work of a Play Therapist to work with pupils who have experienced adverse childhood
    experiences (ACEs) to improve their emotional wellbeing and improve their outcomes for learning back
    in the classroom.
    Part fund a Family Liaison Assistant to improve family engagement and to lead on the following areas.
    Family learning, Language & Play, Number and Play, Parent drop in sessions for those struggling at
    home with behaviour. Improve attendance.

    It is not appropriate for the school to publish a detailed plan as it could identify
    individual pupils.
