The Welsh Government is exploring options around the structure of the school day and the school year.
Parentkind and the Child Poverty Action Group have worked together to create a short survey for parents to give them the chance to share their views on reforming the school day and school year in Wales.
The closing date is January 23rd.

PDG Access Extension
In recognition of the extreme pressures facing many families, and the subsequent rise in eligible FSM, Welsh Government are extending the PDG Access grant for additional years for this academic year, namely, Years 2, 4 and 6, at a rate of £125 per learner. The rationale for extending to these particular years being that the grant is now available to all school years. Therefore, current year 2, year 4 and year 6 (who are entitled to free school meals) can apply for the PDG Access Grant (School Uniform Grant)
