Mae'r System Genedlaethol ar gyfer Categoreiddio Ysgolion yn rhoi darlun clir sut y mae ysgolion yng Nghymru yn perfformio. Heddiw, rydym wedi cyhoeddi’r categorïau cymorth ar gyfer ysgolion cynradd ac uwchradd am y bumed flwyddyn. 


Nod y system gategoreiddio yw pennu’r cymorth sydd ei angen ar ein hysgolion er mwyn iddynt wella. Mae'n cynnig dull cyfannol o wella ysgolion, sy’n galluogi i gyd\-destun yr ysgol ac ystod eang o wybodaeth gael eu hystyried wrth bennu dyfarniad ynghylch hunanwerthusiad yr ysgol a'i chapasiti i wella.


Mae'r system yn gwerthuso ac yn asesu ysgolion ac yn eu gosod mewn categori cymorth drwy ddefnyddio'r broses ganlynol: 


* Cam un: rhoddir ystod eang o wybodaeth am berfformiad i ysgolion gan Lywodraeth Cymru fel sail i’w hunanwerthusiad o’u capasiti i wella mewn perthynas â dysgu ac addysgu, ac fel man cychwyn i’w trafodaethau â’r cynghorydd herio yn y consortiwm rhanbarthol am eu perfformiad a'r meysydd i’w gwella;
* Cam dau: caiff hunanwerthusiad yr ysgol ei asesu gan gynghorwyr her yn y consortia rhanbarthol;
* Cam tri: ar ôl i'r dangosyddion deilliannau a'r wybodaeth hunanwerthuso gael eu dadansoddi, cytunir ar gategori cymorth drafft drwy drafod â’r ysgol. Caiff y categori hwn ei gymedroli gan yr awdurdod lleol a’r consortiwm addysg rhanbarthol. Yna, caiff ei wirio ar lefel genedlaethol, a rhoddir categori lliw i’r ysgol a fydd yn sbarduno rhaglen benodol o gymorth, heriau ac ymyriadau.


Nid yw'r broses wedi newid ers y llynedd. Mae canllawiau diwygiedig bellach ar gael sy'n esbonio’r broses yn fwy manwl.


Yn ôl y ffigurau rydym wedi'u cyhoeddi heddiw, mae 88\.4 y cant o ysgolion cynradd a 69\.4 y cant o ysgolion uwchradd yn y categorïau gwyrdd a melyn erbyn hyn. 


Mae'n galonogol bod canran yr ysgolion sydd yn y categori gwyrdd wedi cynyddu o 35\.4 y cant y llynedd i 41\.6 y cant eleni. Mae hyn yn dangos gwelliant mewn ysgolion y dylid ei gydnabod ac yn argoeli'n dda ar gyfer y cwricwlwm newydd. Bydd rôl allweddol gan yr ysgolion hyn o ran helpu ysgolion eraill yng Nghymru drwy rannu eu harbenigedd, eu sgiliau a'u harferion da. Drwy wneud hyn, byddant yn gwneud cyfraniad hollbwysig at sicrhau gwelliannau i addysg yng Nghymru ac yn ein symud ni tuag at system o hunanwella parhaus. 


Mae’r hyn a gyhoeddwn heddiw yn dangos yn glir ein bod yn datblygu system gefnogol a chydweithiol yng Nghymru, ac y byddwn yn sicrhau bod ysgolion \- a dysgwyr yn y pendraw \- yn cael y cymorth iawn ar yr adeg iawn i godi safonau. 


Fel yn y blynyddoedd blaenorol, bydd fy swyddogion yn gweithio gyda'r consortia rhanbarthol i adolygu’r broses gategoreiddio. Eleni, rwyf wedi gofyn iddynt ystyried a oes angen datblygu'r broses, a sut, er mwyn cyd\-fynd â'r trefniadau Gwerthuso a Gwella arfaethedig newydd.  Byddaf yn gwneud cyhoeddiad arall ar y trefniadau hyn yn yr wythnosau nesaf.

The National School Categorisation System  provides a clear picture of how well schools in Wales are performing. Today the support categories for primary and secondary schools have been published for a fifth year. 


The purpose of the categorisation system is to identify the level of support our schools need to improve.It offers a holistic approach to school improvement, which allows the context of the school and a broad range of information to be taken into account when determining a judgement on the school\`s self\-evaluation and capacity to improve. 


The system evaluates and assesses schools and places them in a support category using the following process: 


* Step One: a broad range of performance information is provided by the Welsh Government to inform schools’ self\-evaluation of their capacity to improve in relation to teaching and learning; and inform the starting point of discussions with their regional consortium challenge advisor about their performance and areas for improvement;
* Step Two: assessment of the schools’ self\-evaluation by challenge advisers in the regional consortia;
* Step Three: after the outcome indicators and self\-evaluation information have been analysed, a draft support category is agreed in discussion with the school. This 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 will trigger a tailored programme of support, challenge and intervention.


The process has not changed from last year. We have made available refreshed guidance which sets out the categorisation process in more detail.


The figures we have published today show that88\.4 per cent of primary schools and 69\.4 per cent of secondary schools are now in the green and yellow categories. 


I’m encouraged that the percentage of schools in the green category has gone from 35\.4 per cent last year to 41\.6 per cent this year. This tells a story of school improvement that needs to be recognised and bodes well for the new curriculum. These schools will have a key role to play in supporting other schools in Wales, by sharing their expertise, skills, and good practice. In this way they will be making a vital contribution to driving forward improvements in Wales and moving us towards a truly self\-improving system. 


The publication of these outcomes today is a strong indicator of the supportive and collaborative system that we are building in Wales and will ensure that schools, and ultimately learners, are given the right support at the right time to enable them raise standards for all. 


As in previous years, my officials will work with the regional consortia to review the categorisation process. This year, I have asked them consider whether, and how, it may need to evolve to work within with the proposed new Evaluation and Improvement arrangements.  I will make a further announcement on these arrangements in the coming weeks.
