Introduced in 2018, PDG\-Access helps families cover the costs of school uniforms and sports kits, as well as equipment for activities outside of the school, including sports clubs and trips for outdoor learning. It is funding that goes directly to the families who need it most to help with some of the costs of the school day.


The additional investment means that eligible families of Year 7 pupils will receive £200, instead of the current £125; relieving some of the increased costs associated with starting secondary school. 


The funding will also allow the inclusion of eligible learners in Year 3 and Year 10, and provide funding for looked after children (LAC) in every compulsory school year. 


This means the funding will extend to a much wider cohort of learners, ensuring more parents are able to access the support they need when they need it. 


Local authorities will also administer a fund to develop more sustainable long term options.  We are extending this beyond the classroom to include groups such as youth clubs, to bid for kit stores. 


Extending the PDG was a key part of the progressive agreement between the First Minister and Kirsty Williams.


Making the announcement, Kirsty Williams said:



> “Breaking the cycle of poverty and disadvantage is paramount, and at the heart of our national mission to raise standards for all our learners.  
> 
> 
> “The additional money announced today will mean that more learners will be eligible for funding, and more money will be available for parents of children transitioning from primary to secondary, which as we all know can be an expensive time”
> 
> 
> “The Pupil Development Grant has already been described as “invaluable” by schools, and PDG – Access allows us to go that step further in supporting our disadvantaged learners to reach their full potential and help discover their true aspirations.”

Wedi’i gyflwyno yn 2018, mae’r grant hwn yn helpu teuluoedd i dalu am wisg ysgol a chit chwaraeon yn ogystal â chyfarpar ar gyfer gweithgareddau y tu allan i’r ysgol, gan gynnwys clybiau chwaraeon a thripiau dysgu awyr agored. Mae’n gyllid sy’n helpu teuluoedd sydd ei angen fwyaf gyda rhai o gostau’r diwrnod ysgol.


Mae’r buddsoddiad ychwanegol yn golygu y bydd teuluoedd disgyblion Blwyddyn 7, os ydynt yn gymwys, yn derbyn £200, yn lle’r £125 y maen nhw’n ei gael ar hyn o bryd, gan liniaru rhai o’r costau uwch sy’n gysylltiedig â dechrau yn yr ysgol uwchradd. 


Bydd y cyllid hefyd yn ei gwneud yn bosibl cynnwys plant cymwys ym Mlwyddyn 3 ac ym Mlwyddyn 10, a bydd yn helpu plant sy’n derbyn gofal ym mhob blwyddyn ysgol orfodol. 


Bydd y cyllid, felly, ar gael i garfan lawer ehangach o ddysgwyr, gan sicrhau cymorth i fwy o rieni sydd ei angen ar yr union adeg y mae ei angen arnynt. 


Gall awdurdodau lleol hefyd weinyddu cronfa i ddatblygu opsiynau hirdymor mwy cynaliadwy. Rydym yn ehangu hyn y tu hwnt i’r ystafell ddosbarth i gynnwys grwpiau fel clybiau ieuenctid i wneud ceisiadau am lefydd i storio cit. 


Roedd ehangu’r Grant Datblygu Disgyblion yn rhan allweddol o’r cytundeb blaengar rhwng Prif Weinidog Cymru a Kirsty Williams.


Wrth wneud y cyhoeddiad, dywedodd Kirsty Williams:



> “Mae torri’r cylch tlodi ac anfantais yn hollbwysig, ac mae’n ganolog i’n hymgyrch genedlaethol i godi safonau ar gyfer pob un o’n dysgwyr.  
> 
> 
> “Bydd yr arian ychwanegol a gyhoeddwyd heddiw yn golygu bod mwy o ddysgwyr yn gymwys i gael cyllid, ac y bydd mwy o arian ar gael i rieni plant sy’n mynd o’r ysgol gynradd i’r ysgol uwchradd, sydd, fel rydyn ni’n gwybod, yn gallu bod yn gyfnod drud.”

> Mae’r Grant Datblygu Disgyblion eisoes wedi’i ddisgrifio fel grant “amhrisiadwy” gan ysgolion, ac mae Grant Datblygu Disgyblion – Mynediad yn caniatáu inni gymryd y cam pellach hwnnw i gefnogi ein dysgwyr difreintiedig i gyflawni eu potensial a’u helpu i ddarganfod yr hyn maen nhw wir am ei gyflawni.”
