Cafodd y System Genedlaethol ar gyfer Categoreiddio Ysgolion ei chyflwyno yn 2014, ac mae'n gosod ysgolion mewn un o bedwar categori lliw i ddangos lefel y cymorth sydd ei angen \- gwyrdd, melyn, oren a choch.

Mae canlyniadau eleni yn dangos bod mwy o ysgolion yn y categorïau gwyrdd a melyn na'r llynedd. Dim ond pedwar diwrnod o gymorth sydd ei angen ar ysgolion gwyrdd ac mae ysgolion melyn yn cael hyd at 10 diwrnod o gymorth.

Y llynedd, newidiwyd ychydig ar y ffactorau sy'n penderfynu ar gategori ysgol. Bellach mae'r asesiad categoreiddio'n ystyried gwybodaeth sy'n llawer ehangach, gan gynnwys lles ac ansawdd y dysgu a'r addysgu, yn hytrach nac edrych dim ond ar feysydd fel perfformiad, megis canlyniadau TGAU.

Diben cynnwys amrywiaeth ehangach, fwy soffistigedig o ffactorau yw deall y math o gymorth sydd ei angen ar ysgol a rhoi darlun gwell i rieni o sut mae ysgol yn perfformio.

I grynhoi:

* mae 88\.4 y cant o ysgolion cynradd a 69\.4 y cant o ysgolion uwchradd yn y categorïau gwyrdd a melyn bellach. Mae'r cynnydd hwn ers y llynedd yn parhau'r duedd a welwyd ers 2015\.
* bu cynnydd yn nifer yr ysgolion sydd yn y categori gwyrdd, sef y categori o ysgolion y mae angen y gefnogaeth leiaf arnynt, a hynny o 6\.2 pwynt canran, i 41\.6 y cant.
* mae cyfran yr ysgolion coch, sef y rheini sydd wedi'u nodi'n ysgolion y mae angen y gefnogaeth fwyaf arnynt, wedi aros fwy neu lai yr un fath a'r llynedd (gostyngiad bychan o 0\.1 y cant) yn y sector cynradd. Yn y sector uwchradd, mae hyn wedi gostwng o 1\.8 pwynt canran.
* mae 52\.5 y cant o ysgolion arbennig wedi'u categoreiddio'n ysgolion gwyrdd, sef y categori o ysgolion y mae angen y gefnogaeth leiaf arnynt. Nid oes un ysgol arbennig yn y categori coch, sef y rheini y mae angen y gefnogaeth fwyaf arnynt.

Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg, Kirsty Williams:


> "Rwy'n falch iawn bod mwy fyth o’n hysgolion cynradd bellach yn y categori gwyrdd a melyn, gan barhau'r duedd rydyn ni wedi bod yn ei gweld dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf.
> 
> "Mae rôl allweddol gan yr ysgolion hyn wrth helpu ysgolion eraill i wella drwy rannu eu harbenigedd, eu sgiliau a'u harferion da. 
> 
> “Mae'r system wedi datblygu'n un fwy soffistigedig dros y blynyddoedd. Mae bellach yn caniatáu ystyriaeth o lawer mwy o ffactorau sy'n ymwneud â gallu ysgol i wella. Mae hyn wedi arwain at raglen ymyrraeth a chymorth sydd wedi ei theilwra ac sy'n diwallu anghenion pob disgybl.”

The National School Categorisation System, introduced in 2014, places schools into one of four colour\-coded support categories to demonstrate the level of support they need \- green, yellow, amber and red.

There are now more schools in the green and yellow categories when compared to last year. Green schools require just four days of support and yellow schools receive up to 10 days of support.

Last year a change was made to the factors that decide a school’s category. There is now a much broader assessment that considers a wider variety of information including wellbeing and the quality of teaching and learning, rather than just looking at areas such as performance, including GCSE results.

The purpose of including a broader and more sophisticated range of factors is to understand the kind of support needed by a school and to give parents a better picture of how a school is performing.

In summary:

* 88\.4 per cent of primary schools and 69\.4 per cent of secondary schools are now in the green and yellow categories. This increase from last year continues the upward trend since 2015\.
* There has been a rise in the number of schools in the green category – those schools requiring least support \- by 6\.2 percentage points to 41\.6 per cent.
* The proportion of red schools – those identified as needing most support – is around the same as last year (a small decrease on 0\.1 per cent) in the primary sector. In the secondary sector, this has decreased by 1\.8 percentage points.
* 52\.5 per cent of special schools have been categorised as green, and needing less support, with no schools categorised as red and in need of most support.

Cabinet Secretary for Education Kirsty Williams said:


> “I’m pleased to see that even more of our schools are now in the green and yellow categories, continuing on with the upward trend we have seen over the past few years.
> 
> “These schools have a key role to play in supporting other schools to improve by sharing their expertise, skills and good practice. 
> 
> “The system has become more sophisticated over time and now allows for a much broader range of factors about a school’s ability to improve to be taken into account – leading to a tailored programme of support and intervention which meets the needs of all pupils.”
