Support for families entitled to free school meals.
Schools in Wales receive a specific pupil deprivation grant to support pupils in receipt of free school meals. At Ysgol Comins Coch this grant (2022-2023 – £34,500) is used in a variety of ways to support these children with all aspects of their learning. These include:
- Funding a teaching assistant with additional time to support the children;
- Funding intervention groups, including the purchase of additional resources as required;
- Supplementing the cost of school trips and residential visits;
- Funding music lessons
