Mae’r Grant Datblygu Disgyblion sydd wedi’i ddisgrifio’n “werthfawr” gan ysgolion, yn rhoi mwy o gymorth i ddisgyblion sy’n gymwys am brydau ysgol am ddim a Phlant sy’n Derbyn Gofal. Ei fwriad yw goresgyn rhwystrau ychwanegol sy’n rhwystro dysgwyr o gefndiroedd dan anfantais rhag cyflawni eu potensial llawn.
Described as “invaluable” by schools, the PDG gives greater support to learners eligible for free school meals (eFSM) and Looked After Children (LAC). It is intended to overcome additional barriers that prevent learners from disadvantaged backgrounds achieving their full potential.
