This year, the Price of Pupil Poverty Project, later renamed the Tackling the Impact of Poverty on Education Programme, officially came to a close.
The project began in 2019 and was supported and funded by Welsh Government as part of their commitment to tackling increasing levels of child poverty and to improve the mental health and emotional wellbeing of all children in Wales.
The aim was to create resources for all maintained schools and educational settings across Wales to help raise awareness of the lived experiences of learners from low-income households, setting out the impact poverty has on children’s daily lives.
They would also provide schools and settings with tangible and cost-effective solutions to help lift poverty related barriers to learning and improve learner wellbeing.
Whilst the programme came to an end in 2024, the Price of Pupil Poverty guides have been completely updated to reflect the current child poverty climate and advice in Wales.
These free resources offer practical steps and solutions for a whole school approach to help remove barriers and the 'cost' of learning in your school or setting by supporting you to consider and implement change.
The online guides are still available, now with additional resources including:
