The Early Years Pupil Development Grant (EYPDG) is funding from the Welsh Government intended to overcome the additional barriers learners face which prevent them from achieving their full potential. EYPDG funding should be used to make a lasting impact on children’s learning and development. Local Authorities and Regional consortia are responsible for ensuring that the grant is used for the purposes for which it is intended.
The EYPDG sets out three key areas to consider grant spends:
Family engagement
Pedagogy
Leadership and staff development
