Schools Challenge Cymru places the interests of the pupil at the heart of its programme of school improvement. It is based on a belief that all children can achieve and this is something that I personally hold true. We must inspire them to succeed by providing experiences that open their eyes to the opportunities that exist beyond the school gates, their homes and their local communities. This raising of pupils’ personal expectations, aspirations and ambitions is an important aspect of the Challenge.


In the spirit of encouraging this, I am pleased to announce the Schools Challenge Cymru ‘Pupil Offer’. In so doing, I am asking Pathways to Success schools to look closely at their communities of learners and to begin piloting approaches that widen their horizons, creating opportunities to experience meaningful activities that they might not otherwise have been able to access. At the same time, I am asking partner organisations to get involved \- Wales has a wide range of organisations that are committed to sharing their skills, knowledge, resources and expertise to secure improved outcomes for our children and young people.


Working together, schools and their partners are well placed to offer a wide range of activities for their learners, helping them to access new experiences in the arts, science, sport, our unique culture and heritage, further learning and even work, to name but a few.


By introducing the ‘Pupil Offer’ at this stage in the programme, I am giving Pathways to Success schools an opportunity to experiment, in order to discover what works best for them, before consolidating their approaches in the following academic year.


This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Assembly returns I would be happy to do so.

    Mae buddiannau disgyblion wrth wraidd rhaglen gwella ysgolion Her Ysgolion Cymru. Mae’n seiliedig ar y gred y gall pob plentyn gyflawni ac mae hyn yn rhywbeth yr wyf fi’n bersonol yn credu ynddo. Rhaid inni eu hysbrydoli i lwyddo drwy roi iddynt brofiadau sy’n agor eu llygaid i’r cyfleoedd sy’n bodoli tu hwnt i giatiau’r ysgol, eu cartrefi a’u cymunedau lleol. Mae cynyddu disgwyliadau, dyheadau ac uchelgeisiau personol disgyblion yn un agwedd bwysig ar yr Her.

Yn naws rhoi anogaeth i hyn, mae’n bleser gennyf gyhoeddi ‘Arlwy i’r Disgyblion’ Her Ysgolion Cymru. Wrth wneud hynny, rwyf yn gofyn i ysgolion Llwybrau Llwyddiant edrych yn fanwl ar eu cymunedau o ddysgwyr a dechrau treialu dulliau sy’n ehangu eu gorwelion, gan greu cyfleoedd i brofi gweithgareddau ystyrlon na fyddent fel arall wedi gallu cael mynediad atynt. Ar yr un pryd, rwy’n gofyn i sefydliadau partner wneud eu rhan – gwlad fechan yw Cymru ond mae ganddi amrywiaeth eang o sefydliadau sydd wedi ymrwymo i rannu eu sgiliau, eu gwybodaeth, eu hadnoddau a’u harbenigedd i sicrhau deilliannau gwell ar gyfer ein plant a’n pobl ifanc.

Drwy weithio gyda’i gilydd, mae ysgolion a’u partneriaid mewn sefyllfa dda i gynnig ystod eang o weithgareddau i’w dysgwyr, gan eu helpu i gael mynediad at brofiadau newydd ym maes y celfyddydau, y gwyddorau, chwaraeon, ein diwylliant a’n treftadaeth unigryw, dysgu pellach a hyd yn oed yn y byd gwaith, i enwi dim ond ychydig.

Drwy gyflwyno’r ‘Arlwy i’r Disgyblion’ yn y cam hwn o’r rhaglen, rwy’n rhoi cyfle i Ysgolion Llwybrau Llwyddiant arbrofi, er mwyn canfod beth sy’n gweithio orau iddynt hwy, cyn cyfuno eu dulliau gweithredu yn y flwyddyn academaidd ganlynol.

Mae'r datganiad hwn yn cael ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn i’r aelodau gael y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf. Os hoffai’r aelodau imi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ynglŷn â hyn pan fydd y Cynulliad yn ail\-agor, byddwn yn fodlon gwneud hynny.
