Mae'r System Genedlaethol ar gyfer Categoreiddio Ysgolion yn rhoi darlun clir o lefel y cymorth sydd ei angen ar ysgolion i wella. Heddiw, mae'r categorïau cymorth ar gyfer ysgolion cynradd, uwchradd ac arbennig wedi'u cyhoeddi am y chweched flwyddyn.


Mae'r broses gategoreiddio'n ystyried ystod eang o dystiolaeth a gwybodaeth briodol am yr ysgolion wrth benderfynu ar lefel eu hanghenion cymorth.


Mae’n cynnig categori cymorth i ysgolion drwy ddilyn y camau canlynol:


* gwerthuso a dadansoddi ystod eang o ddata, tystiolaeth a gwybodaeth, sy'n fan cychwyn i ysgolion gynnal trafodaethau â chynghorydd herio'r consortiwm rhanbarthol am eu perfformiad a'r meysydd i'w gwella


* asesiad o hunanwerthusiad yr ysgol a'i gallu i wella gan gynghorydd herio'r consortiwm rhanbarthol


* cytunir ar gategori cymorth drafft drwy drafodaeth â'r ysgol a'r corff llywodraethu. Caiff y categori ei gymedroli gan yr awdurdod lleol a'r consortia addysg rhanbarthol, a'i ddilysu'n genedlaethol, ac mae'n gosod yr ysgol mewn categori cymorth lliw sy'n arwain at raglen ymyrraeth a chymorth sydd wedi'i theilwra.


Mae'n galonogol i mi fod canran yr ysgolion cynradd ac uwchradd sydd yn y categori gwyrdd wedi cynyddu o 41\.6 y cant y llynedd i 46\.9 y cant eleni. Mae hyn yn arwydd o welliant a mwy o allu yn y system y dylid ei gydnabod. Bydd gan yr ysgolion hyn rôl allweddol o ran helpu eraill i wella, drwy rannu eu harbenigedd, eu sgiliau a'u harferion da.


Rwy'n parhau i fod wedi ymrwymo i adeiladu system hunanwella i ysgolion ledled Cymru sy'n seiliedig ar gydweithio. Mae canlyniad y broses gategoreiddio eleni yn dangos yn glir ein bod, drwy waith y consortia rhanbarthol, yn llwyddo i feithrin gallu a sicrhau bod ysgolion yn cael y cymorth cywir ar yr adeg gywir i'w galluogi i godi safonau i bawb.


Er gwaetha'r gwelliannau, rwy'n dal i bryderu am yr ysgolion hynny y mae dal i fod angen y gefnogaeth fwyaf arnynt, yn enwedig y gyfran yn y sector uwchradd. Yn ôl y ffigurau a gyhoeddwyd heddiw, mae 13\.5 y cant o'n hysgolion yn y categorïau melyn a coch. 


Mae'r materion a wynebir yn yr ysgolion hyn yn aml yn gymhleth ac yn debygol o angen partneriaethau cryf ar draws yr haen ganol. Felly, rydym yn treialu dull gweithredu amlasiantaeth gyda nifer fach o ysgolion uwchradd. Bydd hyn yn golygu, pan fydd yr awdurdodau lleol a'r consortia rhanbarthol wedi nodi'r ysgolion y mae angen y gefnogaeth fwyaf arnynt, y byddant yn gallu manteisio ar yr arbenigedd a'r adnoddau sylweddol sy'n bodoli yn ein haen ganol, a sicrhau bod pawb yn cydweithio ac yn gweithio tuag at yr un nod.


Wrth asesu effeithiolrwydd y trefniadau newydd hyn, byddwn hefyd yn ystyried dyfodol y system gategoreiddio.

The National School Categorisation System provides a clear picture of the levels of support needed by schools to improve. Today the support categories for primary, secondary and special schools have been published for a sixth year.


The categorisation process allows for a broad range of evidence and information, appropriate to the context of the school, to be taken into account when determining the level of support a school needs.


The system offers schools a support category using the following steps:


* evaluation and analysis of a broad range of data, evidence and information, which is the starting point of discussions with the regional consortium challenge advisor about their performance and areas for improvement;


* an assessment of the school’s self\-evaluation and their capacity to improve by the regional consortium challenge advisor;


* a draft support category is agreed through discussion with the school and governing body. The category is moderated by the local authority and regional education consortium, verified nationally and leads to a colour\-coded support category for the school which triggers a tailored programme of support and intervention.


I’m encouraged that the percentage of primary and secondary schools in the green category has gone from 41\.6 per cent last year to 46\.9 per cent this year. This tells a story of improvement and increased capacity in the system that should be recognised. These schools will have a key role to play in supporting others, sharing their expertise, skills and good practice.


I remain committed to building a collaborative, self\-improving school system throughout Wales. The outcome of this year’s categorisation process is a strong indicator that, through the work of regional consortia, we are building capacity and ensuring schools are given the right support at the right time to enable them to raise standards for all.


Despite the improvements, I remain concerned about those schools, particularly the proportion in the secondary sector, which continue to require the highest levels of support. The figures published today show that 13\.5 percent of our schools are in the amber and red support categories.  


The issues behind these schools are often complex and these cases are likely to require strong partnerships across the middle tier. We are therefore trialling a multi\-agency approach with a small number of secondary schools. This approach will mean that once local authorities and regions have identified those schools that need the most support, they are able to draw on the considerable expertise and resources that exist across our middle tier, with everyone aligned and working towards the same goal.


In assessing the effectiveness of these new arrangements, we will also consider the future of categorisation.
