The new updated and strengthened guidance, which will be issued for a 12 week consultation this autumn, will focus on affordability and will also address a number of different issues that schools need to consider.

 The Education Secretary has also once again urged parents/carers of eligible children to speak to their council about applying for the new PDG\-Access fund.

 PDG\-Access offers parents/carers £125 to buy school uniform, equipment, sports kit and kit for activities outside of school for their child.

 Looked\-after children and learners eligible for free school meals will be eligible for this grant if they are entering reception class in primary school, entering year 7 in secondary school or aged 4 or 11 in special schools, Special Educational Needs (SEN) Units or Pupil Referral Units.

 Kirsty Williams said:

 
> “Reducing the attainment gap between pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers is at the heart of our national mission to raise standards. 
> 
>  “Parents and guardians face many different costs when it comes to school uniform as well as activities both in and outside of school.
> 
>  “Making school uniform guidance statutory is just one of the ways we can help reduce these costs.
> 
>  “I also want to encourage the parents/carers of eligible children to keep applying to councils for PDG\-Access funding. This is money that they are entitled to and could make a real difference to the cost of not just school uniform but equipment, sports kit and kit for activities outside of school too.”

Bydd y canllawiau diweddaraf, sy'n gryfach, ac yn destun ymgynghoriad 12 wythnos yn ystod yr hydref, yn canolbwyntio ar fforddiadwyedd. Byddant hefyd yn mynd i'r afael â nifer o faterion gwahanol y mae angen i ysgolion eu hystyried.

 Unwaith eto, mae'r Ysgrifennydd Addysg wedi annog rhieni a/neu ofalwyr plant cymwys i gysylltu â’r cyngor lleol i drafod gwneud cais ar gyfer cyllid o'r Gronfa newydd, sef y Grant Datblygu Disgyblion \- Mynediad.

 Mae'r Grant hwn yn rhoi £125 i rieni a/neu ofalwyr brynu gwisg ysgol, cyfarpar, dillad chwaraeon a dillad i’w plant ar gyfer gweithgareddau y tu allan i'r ysgol.

 Bydd plant sy'n derbyn gofal a dysgwyr sy'n gymwys i gael prydau ysgol am ddim yn gymwys am y grant hwn os byddant yn mynd i flwyddyn derbyn yn yr ysgol gynradd, yn mynd i flwyddyn 7 yn yr ysgol uwchradd neu’n 4 oed neu'n 11 oed mewn ysgolion arbennig, Unedau Anghenion Addysgol Arbennig, neu Unedau Cyfeirio Disgyblion.

 Dywedodd Kirsty Williams:

 
> “Mae lleihau'r bwlch cyrhaeddiad rhwng y disgyblion hynny sy'n dod o gefndiroedd difreintiedig a'u cyfoedion yn greiddiol i'n cenhadaeth genedlaethol \- sef codi safonau. 
> 
>  “Mae  llawer o wahanol gostau’n wynebu rhieni a gofalwyr, o ran gwisg ysgol a gweithgareddau y tu fewn a'r tu allan i’r ysgol.
> 
>  “Mae gwneud y canllawiau gwisg ysgol yn statudol yn un o'r ffyrdd y gallwn ni helpu i leihau'r costau hyn.
> 
>  “Rwy'n annog rhieni a/neu ofalwyr plant cymwys i ddal ati i wneud ceisiadau am gyllid Grant Datblygu Disgyblion \- Mynediad. Dyma arian y mae ganddynt hawl iddo. Gallai'r arian wneud gwahaniaeth go iawn o ran costau gwisg ysgol a chyfarpar, dillad chwaraeon a dillad ar gyfer gweithgareddau y tu allan i'r ysgol hefyd.”
