Further to yesterday’s debate on the Children and Young People Education (CYPE) Committee’s Report on School Funding in Wales, I am pleased to provide further details on the Government’s response to Recommendation 1\.


The leading education economist Luke Sibieta will take forward an analysis of how total spending, and spending on different categories of inputs, varies across schools in specific circumstances in Wales. 


This will include, but not be limited to, how spending varies with levels of deprivation, rurality and growth in Welsh medium education. This empirical analysis would account for the differences in levels and methods of central spending across local authorities, and will help provide for informed decision making on levels of funding for schools and pupils in different circumstances across the country.


I have asked that the work is completed before the 2020 summer recess.


CYPE published their report into school funding on 10th July 2019\. I welcomed the report and accepted all 21 recommendations;

Luke’s experience, knowledge and understanding of the complexities involved in school funding will be paramount in taking this forward. His work on behalf of the Institute for Fiscal Studies will be well known to members.


According to IFS analysis, spending per pupil in Wales is just below £6,000 on average. However this varies considerably between local authorities, reflecting differences in deprivation and sparsity, as well as choices made by local authorities in line with their responsibility for setting school budgets.


Although schools differ significantly in terms of the factors which influence their costs, making it difficult to identify a “minimum cost”, this work will provide an essential analysis for government, local authorities, schools and all with an interest in securing the right investment in Welsh education.

Yn dilyn y ddadl ddoe ar Adroddiad y Pwyllgor Plant, Pobl Ifanc ac Addysg (PPIA) ar Gyllido Ysgolion yng Nghymru, rwy’n falch o ddarparu manylion pellach am ymateb y Llywodraeth i Argymhelliad 1\. 


Bydd Luke Sibieta, yr economegydd addysg blaenllaw, yn mynd ati i ddadansoddi sut y mae cyfanswm y gwariant, a’r gwariant ar gategorïau mewnbwn gwahanol, yn amrywio rhwng ysgolion o dan amgylchiadau penodol yng Nghymru. 


Bydd hyn yn cynnwys, ymysg pethau eraill, sut y mae gwariant yn amrywio yn ôl gwahanol lefelau o amddifadedd, natur wledig a thwf addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg. Byddai’r dadansoddiad empirig hwn yn ystyried y gwahaniaethau yn lefelau’r gwariant canolog a’r dulliau o fynd ati i wario ymysg awdurdodau lleol. Bydd hefyd yn helpu i gyfrannu at y broses o ddod i benderfyniad ynghylch lefelau cyllido ar gyfer ysgolion a disgyblion mewn amgylchiadau amrywiol ledled y wlad. 


Rwyf wedi gofyn i’r gwaith gael ei gwblhau cyn toriad haf 2020\. 


Cyhoeddodd PPIA ei adroddiad ar gyllido ysgolion ar 10 Gorffennaf 2019\. Croesewais yr adroddiad a derbyniais bob un o'r 21 o argymhellion:


http://www.senedd.cynulliad.cymru/documents/s93706/Ymateb%20Llywodraeth%20Cymru.pdf


Bydd profiad, gwybodaeth a dealltwriaeth Luke o'r cymhlethdodau sy'n gysylltiedig â chyllido ysgolion yn hollbwysig wrth fwrw ymlaen â hyn. Bydd ei waith ar ran y Sefydliad Astudiaethau Cyllid yn gyfarwydd iawn i’r aelodau.


Yn ôl dadansoddiad y Sefydliad Astudiaethau Cyllid, mae’r gwariant fesul disgybl yng Nghymru ychydig yn is na £6,000 ar gyfartaledd. Fodd bynnag, mae hyn yn amrywio’n sylweddol rhwng awdurdodau lleol, gan adlewyrchu gwahaniaethau fel amddifadedd a theneurwydd poblogaeth, yn ogystal â dewisiadau a wneir gan awdurdodau lleol yn unol â’u cyfrifoldeb i osod cyllidebau ysgolion.


Er bod cryn wahaniaeth rhwng ysgolion wrth ystyried y ffactorau sy’n dylanwadu ar eu costau, gan felly ei gwneud yn anodd nodi “isafswm cost”, bydd y gwaith hwn yn darparu dadansoddiad hanfodol ar gyfer y Llywodraeth, awdurdodau lleol, ysgolion a phawb sydd am sicrhau bod y sector addysg yng Nghymru yn cael y buddsoddiad cywir.
