For information on how the Pupil Deprivation Grant will be spent this year (2016-17) see the School Development Plan.

Pupil Deprivation Grant and the Education Improvement Grant:

These grants provide financial support to schools in order to achieve the Welsh Governments national priorities.

This year, funds from these grants will support the following projects:
- Developing Digital Capacity
- Develop Alternative Curriculum opportunities
- To contribute to the costs of Clwb Cymerau
- Employment of staff to target groups of children
- Target groups of boys to achieve the expected levels and higher levels at the end of Key Stage
- Develop English skills

The National Literacy and Numeracy Framework (LNF) is designed to help teachers embed literacy and numeracy into all subjects for learners aged 5 to 14.

The LNF sets the skills we expect learners to develop. Within literacy we expect learners to become accomplished in:

* oracy across the curriculum
* reading across the curriculum
* writing across the curriculum.

Within numeracy we expect learners to become accomplished in:

* developing numerical reasoning
* using number skills
* using measuring skills
* using data skills.

Teachers will be able to use the LNF to:

* develop curriculum content to ensure that all learners have opportunities to develop and refine the skills set out in the LNF
* integrate literacy and numeracy into their teaching – whatever the subject matter
* inform discussions with parents/carers, learners and other teachers about learner performance
* help learners with their own self-assessment activities and planning for learning
* monitor, assess and report on individual learner performance
* identify learners who may benefit from intervention or who are working beyond age-related expectations.
