Cafodd y System Genedlaethol ar gyfer Categoreiddio Ysgolion ei chyflwyno yn 2014 i bennu'r ysgolion hynny y mae angen cefnogaeth arnynt er mwyn gwella. Mae ysgolion yn cael eu rhoi mewn un o bedwar categori lliw, i ddynodi lefel y gefnogaeth sydd ei hangen arnynt. 

 Mae'r categori ar gyfer pob ysgol wedi'i bennu drwy ystyried amrywiaeth o ffactorau, gan gynnwys ei data perfformiad a'i gallu i wella mewn meysydd megis arweinyddiaeth, dysgu ac addysgu. Mae awdurdodau lleol a'u consortia rhanbarthol yn chwarae rôl ganolog yn y broses sy'n sbarduno pecyn arbennig o ran her a chefnogaeth ym mhob ysgol. 

 O dan y system, mae pedwar categori \- gwyrdd, melyn, oren a choch. Ystyrir mai'r gefnogaeth leiaf sydd ei hangen ar ysgolion yn y categori gwyrdd, tra bod ysgolion yn y categori coch wedi'u nodi'n rhai y mae angen y gefnogaeth fwyaf arnynt. 

 Mae'r canlyniadau eleni yn dangos bod gostyngiad yn nifer yr ysgolion yng Nghymru y mae angen y gefnogaeth fwyaf arnynt o'i gymharu â'r llynedd. Yn yr un modd, mae mwy o ysgolion sydd wedi'u categoreiddio'n rhai y mae angen lefelau is o gefnogaeth arnynt. I grynhoi: 

 * mae cyfran yr ysgolion gwyrdd – y rheini y mae angen y gefnogaeth leiaf arnynt – wedi cynyddu 5 pwynt canran yn y sector cynradd a 7 pwynt canran yn y sector uwchradd.
* mae cyfran yr ysgolion coch \- y rheini sydd wedi'u nodi'n ysgolion y mae angen y gefnogaeth fwyaf arnynt \- wedi gostwng 1 pwynt canran yn y sector cynradd a 2 bwynt canran yn y sector uwchradd.
* mae 41 y cant o ysgolion arbennig wedi'u categoreiddio'n ysgolion gwyrdd, sef y categori o ysgolion y mae angen y gefnogaeth leiaf arnynt. Dim ond 8 y cant sydd wedi'u categoreiddio'n ysgolion coch y mae angen y gefnogaeth fwyaf arnynt.

 Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg, Kirsty Williams: 

 
> “Nid graddio, labelu na llunio tablau cynghrair amrwd yw nod y system hon ond yn hytrach, mae'n ymwneud â darparu cefnogaeth ac annog ein hysgolion i wella. Mae'n ymwneud â rhoi ysgolion mewn sefyllfa sy'n eu helpu nhw i nodi meysydd y gallant eu gwella a'r hyn y mae angen iddynt ei wneud er mwyn sicrhau gwelliannau pellach. 
> 
>  “Mae'r ffigurau rydym wedi'u cyhoeddi heddiw yn dangos bod 84\.4% o ysgolion cynradd a 64\.6% o ysgolion uwchradd yn y categorïau gwyrdd a melyn erbyn hyn. Mae'r cynnydd hwn i'w groesawu, a bydd gan yr ysgolion hyn rôl allweddol i'w chwarae er mwyn cefnogi ysgolion eraill, drwy rannu eu sgiliau, eu harbenigedd a'u harferion da. Drwy wneud hyn, byddant yn gwneud cyfraniad allweddol i'n cenhadaeth genedlaethol o ysgogi gwelliannau yn ysgolion Cymru a'n symud ni tuag at system hunanwella.”

Published today, the National Categorisation System has been introduced in 2014 to help identify schools in need of support to improve. Schools are placed into one of four colour\-coded support categories to demonstrate the level of support they need. 

 Each school’s category is determined by a range of factors including its performance data and capacity to improve in areas such as leadership and teaching and learning. Local authorities and their regional consortia play a central role in the process which triggers a bespoke package of challenge and support in each school. 

 Under the system there are four categories \- green, yellow, amber and red. Schools in the green category are deemed to be in need of the least support while schools in the red category are those identified as needing the most support. 

 This year’s results show that there are fewer schools in Wales in need of the highest levels of support when compared to last year. Similarly, there are more schools categorised as needing lower levels of support. In summary: 

 * the proportion of green schools – those needing less support – has increased by 5 percentage points in the primary sector and 7 percentage points in the secondary sector.
* the proportion of red schools – those identified as needing most support – has reduced by 1 percentage point in the primary sector and 2 percentage points in the secondary sector.
* 41 per cent of special schools have been categorised as green, and needing less support, with only 8 per cent being categorised as red and in need of most support.

 Cabinet Secretary for Education Kirsty Williams said: 

 
> “This system is not about grading, labelling or creating crude league tables but about providing support and encouraging improvement in our schools. It is about putting schools into a position that helps them to identify areas they can strengthen and what they need to do achieve further improvements. 
> 
>  “The figures we have published today show that 84\.4% of primary and 64\.6% of secondary schools are now in the green and yellow categories. This increase is to be welcomed, as these schools will have a key role to play in supporting other schools, sharing their skills, expertise, and good practice. In this way they will be making a vital contribution to our national mission of driving forward improvements in Welsh schools and moving us towards a self\-improving system.”

 The categorisation for all schools is available on the My Local School website (external link) and the Welsh Government education pages.
