Today we are publishing the Interim Report of the Evaluation of the National Literacy and Numeracy Programmes (NLNP).


I have made no secret that I want a world class education system and I welcome the findings in this interim evaluation report by our independent research contractors SQW published today. The ambitious policies contained within our NLNP are designed to bring about long term sustained improvement for all our learners in Wales.


This interim report shows us where we are doing well and it is extremely encouraging that we have ‘buy in’ for our programmes and that key policies have also led to changes in strategic planning designed to bring about long term sustained improvement for all our learners.


The fieldwork took place between September 2013 and December 2014 when programmes such as the National Literacy and Numeracy Framework (LNF), national testing and national support programme (NSP) were first introduced to schools. It is pleasing that awareness of the LNF and engagement with our NSP was high, with a widespread agreement for the aims of the NLNP.


The evaluation is ongoing with fieldwork in schools still being conducted. As part of this work a survey of school leaders was undertaken in the summer term to provide a better understanding of the views of the profession. The data from survey is currently being analysed by the independent researchers at SQW, these findings will be used to inform the topics for discussion in school case study visits being conducted in early 2016 and will ultimately provide further evidence for future policy development when they are incorporated into the full report.


I am committed to supporting practitioners to deliver on literacy and numeracy and will continue to invest in support and work together with our partners in Regional Education Consortia to ensure we get this right. I will issue a further response when the full report is published next year.

Heddiw, rydym yn cyhoeddi Adroddiad Interim ar y Gwerthusiad o’r Rhaglenni Llythrennedd a Rhifedd Cenedlaethol.

 Rwyf wedi ei gwneud yn glir fy mod am greu system addysg o safon ryngwladol, ac felly rwy’n croesawu casgliadau’r adroddiad gwerthuso interim hwn a luniwyd gan ein contractwyr ymchwil annibynnol yn SQW. Nod polisïau uchelgeisiol ein Rhaglenni Llythrennedd a Rhifedd Cenedlaethol yw sicrhau gwelliannau cynaliadwy tymor hir i’r holl ddysgwyr yma yng Nghymru.

 Mae’r adroddiad interim yn dangos lle rydym yn gwneud yn dda, ac mae’n hynod galonogol bod yna gefnogaeth i’n rhaglenni, a bod y polisïau allweddol wedi arwain at newidiadau mewn cynllunio strategol er mwyn sicrhau gwelliannau cynaliadwy tymor hir i’n holl ddysgwyr.

 Cafodd y gwaith maes ei wneud rhwng mis Medi 2013 a mis Rhagfyr 2014, pan gafodd rhaglenni megis y Fframwaith Llythrennedd a Rhifedd Cenedlaethol, y profion cenedlaethol, a’r rhaglen gymorth genedlaethol, eu cyflwyno mewn ysgolion gyntaf. Mae’n dda bod yna ymwybyddiaeth dda o’r Fframwaith Llythrennedd a Rhifedd ymhlith ysgolion; bod llawer wedi elwa ar ein rhaglen gymorth genedlaethol; a bod cytundeb cyffredinol ynghylch amcanion y Rhaglenni Llythrennedd a Rhifedd Cenedlaethol.

 Parhau y mae’r gwaith gwerthuso a’r gwaith maes mewn ysgolion, ac yn ystod tymor yr haf cynhaliwyd arolwg o arweinwyr ysgolion er mwyn deall yn well y farn o fewn y proffesiwn. Mae ymchwilwyr annibynnol yn SQW wrthi’n dadansoddi data’r arolwg hwnnw, a bydd y casgliadau’n cael eu defnyddio i bennu’r pynciau trafod ar gyfer ymweliadau astudiaethau achos ag ysgolion. Cynhelir yr ymweliadau hyn ar ddechrau 2016, er mwyn darparu tystiolaeth bellach i’w chynnwys yn yr adroddiad llawn, a fydd yn ein helpu i ddatblygu polisïau yn y dyfodol.

 Rwyf wedi ymrwymo i helpu ymarferwyr i sicrhau llwyddiant ym maes llythrennedd a rhifedd, a byddaf yn parhau i fuddsoddi mewn cymorth gan weithio gyda’n partneriaid yn y Consortia Addysg Rhanbarthol i sicrhau ein bod yn cael pethau’n iawn. Byddaf yn cyhoeddi ymateb pellach pan gyhoeddir yr adroddiad llawn y flwyddyn nesaf.
