In my Oral Statement to Plenary last November I announced that, from 1 January 2022, all new\-build, major refurbishment and extension projects requesting funding support through the programme would be required to demonstrate delivery of net\-zero carbon in operation, plus a 20 per cent reduction on the amount of embodied carbon—that is, the carbon emitted through construction materials and the construction process. 


In supporting this, I agreed to fund 100 per cent of the additional costs to meet the net\-zero carbon commitment under this current wave of investment.


Since my Statement, I am pleased to confirm that our local authority delivery partners have risen to the challenge in aligning this commitment across their school project pipelines.  Wales’ first Net Zero Carbon primary school, South Point Primary, opened its doors for learners in March this year; this is testament towards our collective commitment towards reducing carbon emissions and tackling climate change. 


My Statement also set out my expectation of local authorities and their design and delivery teams to work collaboratively with our children, young people, Teachers, staff and communities so that they have the opportunity to help design, build, and manage their learning environment; I made reference to a ‘Sustainable Schools Challenge’.


To that end, I am delighted to confirm that invitations have been extended to local authorities for the submission of candidate projects from their Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme that are able to collaboratively deliver an innovative, sustainable primary school that is at one with the community and natural surroundings. 


Candidate projects will be expected to be innovative and demonstrate collaboration with local communities, including pupils and families, in the design, delivery and management of the school. This is an excellent opportunity to incorporate the design and construction of a school into the curriculum.


Bids have been invited from all 22 Welsh local authorities, with one school to be built in the north of Wales and one in the south, with up to £15m for each school, totalling £30m funding provided to cover the costs of each project.


The designs will be expected to make a positive contribution to the local environment and their surrounding landscapes, including promoting active travel. Local natural materials will be used where possible.


There will be a need to demonstrate a range of environmental criteria, such as using recycled or natural materials, providing high levels of natural daylight, low energy and water consumption, and to make a positive contribution towards biodiversity.


Schools are at the heart of our communities. We must be ambitious in how we build new schools, enabling their design to make a positive contribution to learners and staff, local communities and to the natural environment


These two pilot projects will act as a blueprint for all schools in future, so they are at one with their natural surroundings, strengthening our commitment towards decarbonisation and environmental protection.


Sustainability is mandatory within the new Curriculum for Wales and will form part of every learner's education throughout their learning journey. Schools that benefit from the fund will involve learners in the development or implementation of sustainable and environmental solutions as part of their learning.


I will be announcing the two successful projects early in 2023\.

Yn fy Natganiad Llafar i'r Cyfarfod Llawn fis Tachwedd diwethaf, cyhoeddais, o 1 Ionawr 2022, y byddai'n ofynnol i bob prosiect adeiladu, adnewyddu mawr ac ymestyn yn gofyn am gymorth ariannol drwy'r rhaglen ddangos darparu carbon sero\-net ar waith, ynghyd â gostyngiad o 20 y cant ar faint o garbon sydd wedi'i ymgorffori \- hynny yw, y carbon a allyrrir trwy ddeunyddiau adeiladu a'r broses adeiladu.


Wrth gefnogi hyn, cytunais i arriannu 100 y cant o'r costau ychwanegol i gyflawni'r ymrwymiad carbon sero\-net o dan y don bresennol hon o fuddsoddiad..


Ers fy Natganiad, rwy'n falch o gadarnhau bod ein partneriaid darparu awdurdodau lleol wedi ymateb i'r her o ran cysoni'r ymrwymiad hwn ar draws eu piblinellau prosiect ysgol.  Agorodd ysgol gynradd Sero Carbon Net gyntaf Cymru, Ysgol Gynradd South Point, ei drysau i ddysgwyr ym mis Mawrth eleni; mae hyn yn dyst tuag at ein hymrwymiad ar y cyd tuag at leihau allyriadau carbon a mynd i'r afael â newid yn yr hinsawdd. 


Mae fy Natganiad hefyd yn nodi fy nisgwyliad o awdurdodau lleol a'u timau dylunio a dosbarthu i weithio ar y cyd gyda'n plant, pobl ifanc, Athrawon, staff a chymunedau fel eu bod yn cael y cyfle i helpu dylunio, adeiladu, a rheoli eu hamgylchedd dysgu; Cyfeiriais at 'Her Ysgolion Cynaliadwy'.


I'r perwyl hwnnw, rwy'n falch iawn o gadarnhau bod gwahoddiadau wedi cael eu hymestyn i awdurdodau lleol ar gyfer cyflwyno prosiectau ymgeiswyr o'u Rhaglen Cymunedau Cynaliadwy ar gyfer Dysgu sy'n gallu cydweithio i ddarparu ysgol gynradd arloesol, gynaliadwy sydd yn un â'r gymuned a'r amgylchoedd naturiol.


Bydd disgwyl i brosiectau ymgeiswyr fod yn arloesol a dangos cydweithrediad â chymunedau lleol, gan gynnwys disgyblion a theuluoedd, wrth ddylunio, darparu a rheoli'r ysgol. Dyma gyfle gwych i ymgorffori dyluniad ac adeiladu ysgol yn y cwricwlwm.


Gwahoddwyd cynigion gan bob un o'r 22 awdurdod lleol yng Nghymru, gydag un ysgol i'w chodi yng ngogledd Cymru ac un yn y de, gyda hyd at £15m ar gyfer pob ysgol, sef cyfanswm o £30m o gyllid yn cael ei ddarparu i dalu costau pob prosiect.


Bydd disgwyl i'r dyluniadau gyfrannu'n gadarnhaol at yr amgylchedd lleol a'r tirweddau cyfagos, gan gynnwys hyrwyddo teithio llesol. Defnyddir deunyddiau naturiol lleol lle bo hynny'n bosibl.


Bydd angen dangos ystod o feini prawf amgylcheddol, fel defnyddio deunyddiau wedi eu hailgylchu neu ddeunyddiau naturiol, a darparu lefelau uchel o olau dydd naturiol, ynni isel a defnydd dŵr, a gwneud cyfraniad cadarnhaol tuag at fioamrywiaeth.


Mae ysgolion wrth galon ein cymunedau. Mae'n rhaid i ni fod yn uchelgeisiol yn y ffordd yr ydym yn adeiladu ysgolion newydd, gan alluogi eu dyluniad i wneud cyfraniad cadarnhaol at ddysgwyr a staff, cymunedau lleol ac i'r amgylchedd naturiol.


Bydd y ddau brosiect peilot hyn yn gweithredu fel glasbrint i bob ysgol yn y dyfodol, felly maent ar un â'u hamgylchoedd naturiol, gan gryfhau ein hymrwymiad tuag at ddatgarboneiddio a diogelu'r amgylchedd.


Mae cynaliadwyedd yn orfodol o fewn cwricwlwm newydd Cymru a bydd yn rhan o addysg pob dysgwr drwy gydol eu taith ddysgu. Bydd ysgolion sy'n elwa o'r gronfa yn cynnwys dysgwyr wrth ddatblygu neu weithredu atebion cynaliadwy ac amgylcheddol fel rhan o'u dysgu.


Byddaf yn cyhoeddi'r ddau brosiect llwyddiannus yn gynnar yn 2023\.
