School costs can put pressure on low-income families and put children at risk of missing out on opportunities and feeling different, excluded and unhappy. The Cost of the School Day project involves children and young people, parents/carers and school staff in identifying financial barriers and taking action to remove them.

CPAG has been funded by The National Lottery Community Fund to roll out our Cost of the School Day project in Wales and England, and to expand the work to a new local authority area in Scotland. In Wales, we are working with partner local authorities Neath Port Talbot and Rhondda Cynon Taff. We are recruiting a Cost of the School Day Practitioner to join our team and work alongside our existing Wales Practitioner.

CPAG believes that every child from a low income household must be able to make the most of the school day. Expanding on our work in Scotland, the Cost of the School Day project has now been established in Wales and much of the groundwork has taken place over the past six months. The project has been set up to ensure that disadvantaged children have greater access to educational opportunity, by identifying and supporting changes to policies and practices both within individual schools and across local authority areas to reduce cost pressures on low income families.

Given that many more families with school-age children will now be experiencing poverty and financial shock due to Covid-19, there is an even greater need to raise awareness of poverty across the Welsh education system and support schools to develop poverty sensitive policies and practices.

Putting children in the lead, CPAG are working with official project partners, Children North East, to poverty proof schools across the UK. Drawing on the outcomes from these individual schools the project will build an evidence base for shaping school level action and local authority-wide system change resulting in a UK-wide cultural shift towards fairer education systems for children living in poverty in Wales, Scotland and England.

Please note that speaking Welsh is an essential requirement for this role. You are welcome to submit your application in either Welsh or English, and your application will not be treated less favourably whichever language you choose. As some of the panel will not be Welsh speakers, we will arrange for your application and any written assessments to be translated into English on your behalf. If you wish to be interviewed through the medium of Welsh we will arrange for simultaneous translation.
