Datganiad Grant Amddifadedd 2024-2025
Dyrennir y Grant Amddifadedd Disgyblion i ysgolion â disgyblion sy’n dod o deuluoedd incwm isel ac y gwyddys eu bod ar hyn o bryd yn gymwys i dderbyn prydau ysgol am ddim (e-FSM) a disgyblion sydd wedi derbyn gofal yn barhaus am fwy na chwe mis (LAC).
Disgwylir i ysgolion ddefnyddio’r cyllid hwn i’r eithaf i gyflwyno strategaethau cynaliadwy fydd yn arwain yn gyflym at newidiadau i ddysgwyr sy’n gymwys i dderbyn prydau ysgol am ddim neu sy’n LAC.
Fel ysgol rydym wedi cytuno ar y tri cham a ganlyn: 1. nodi’r grŵp targed o ddisgyblion, ei nodweddion a’i anghenion 2. cynllunio ymyraethau sy’n gwneud y defnydd mwyaf effeithiol o adnoddau 3. monitro a gwerthuso effaith adnoddau

Pupil Deprivation Grant Statement 2024-2025
The Pupil Deprivation Grant (PDG) is allocated to schools with pupils who come from low-income families and are currently known to be eligible for free school meals (e-FSM) and pupils who have been looked after continuously for more than six months (LAC). Schools are expected to make the best use of this funding to implement sustainable strategies that will quickly bring about changes for learners eligible for free school meals or who are LAC.
As a school we have agreed the following three steps: 1. to identify the target group of pupils, its characteristics and needs 2. to plan interventions which make the most effective use of resources 3. to monitor and evaluate the impact of resources
In 2024-25 Ysgol Casmael was provided with a PDG allocation of £5,750 and also an Early Years allocation of £4,600.
At Ysgol Casmael we have a comprehensive plan, agreed and monitored by the Local Authority to promote progress and remove barriers to learning for students eligible for this funding.
We have used the funding available to employ staff that can provide intervention and support programmes that will raise the standards of attainment of the pupils. These support programmes include:
- Daily check – ins
- Employing an additional early years teacher
- Employing an LSA to run Accelerated Literacy support groups
- Providing release time for a teacher to run Emotional Literacy support programmes and to provide attendance support
- School uniform support
- Support with school trips/Residential Visits
