Mewn cyfarfod llawn ym mis Ebrill cyhoeddais drefniadau i ehangu’r Grant ymhellach o ddechrau’r flwyddyn ariannol hon. Roedd hyn yn golygu cynyddu unwaith eto y cyllid ar gyfer elfen blynyddoedd cynnar y grant. Heddiw, rwy’n falch o gyhoeddi bod y Grant i’w ehangu ymhellach drwy gyflwyno Grant Datblygu Disgyblion – Mynediad. Bydd Grant Datblygu Disgyblion – Mynediad yn eistedd ochr yn ochr ag elfennau eraill y Grant, a bydd yn canolbwyntio’n benodol ar helpu rhieni gyda’r costau ychwanegol sy’n codi wrth i’w plant ddechrau mewn addysg, a gyda symud ymlaen i ysgol uwchradd.
I announced in Plenary in April arrangements to further expand the PDG from the start of this financial year.  This included increasing again the funding for the early years element of the grant.  Today I am pleased to announce a further expansion of PDG with the introduction of ‘PDG Access’.  PDG Access will sit alongside the other elements of PDG and will have a particular focus on supporting parents with the additional costs associated with their children starting education, and with progressing into secondary school.
