We have recently reviewed our School Improvement Plan (SIP) in order to ensure continued & sustained improvement at St John Lloyd RC Primary School. The new SIP, which is officially launched every September is a working document that is reviewed by all staff throughout the year. This plan builds on previous progress and ways forward that are identified through a strong self-evaluation process at the school.

The full school improvement plan and safeguarding self evaluation are available to view below;

3 YEAR AREAS OF PRIORITY

GRANT ALLOCATION

PDG GRANT

"The Pupil Deprivation Grant (PDG) is extra funding from the Welsh Government to overcome the additional barriers poorer pupils face that prevent them from reaching their potential.  This may include exceptionally able pupils who, because of their family background are not achieving their full personal potential, even though they appear to be holding their own in comparison with their peers ".

The allocation for the financial year 2023-24 for SJL based on percentage of free school meals is £151,800.

This money will fund small groups or individual support and interventions to develop pupils' numeracy and literacy skills.  This will include using specialist intervention programmes alongside resources.
