For schools and settings and practitioners working with children and young people
Currently in Wales 8 children in a class of 30 are living in poverty. This affects their daily lives, education and future life opportunities.
School settings and the costs associated with the school day can be problematic for many learners and their families.
The following 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 using the Price of Pupil Poverty Guides and associated toolkit.
These resources were originally developed as part of the Price of Pupil Poverty project/Tackling the Impact of Poverty on Education programme, which was funded by Welsh Government as part of their commitment to tackling increasing levels of child poverty and to improve the mental health, emotional wellbeing and attainment of all children in Wales. You can read more about this project here.
The comprehensive list of resources includes:
‘It has shifted our culture as a whole school so that poverty and its impact remains a focus for us all.’
‘It will have a great impact on your pupils and families.’
