English: 'Beacon of hope' is exactly the right phrase in John Griffiths's question. I'm aware of the work that Maindee primary do. I've met some of the staff, and I would be delighted to visit the school to see at first hand the fantastic work that I know they do. The kind of work that the school does is exactly the sort of work that we want to see more and more schools in Wales supported to do. We want all schools in Wales to be community-focused school. That will look differently in different schools and in different communities, but, at its heart, it's about building a strong partnership with families, responding to their community, and collaborating with other services. I think the curriculum, with its focus on reflecting cynefin and the cluster working and the working to reflect the community of the school, provides a really good underpinning for this ambition that we have. Schools have a critical role in enabling our young people to become ambitious, enterprising and ethical - all those qualities and characteristics that are at the heart of the new curriculum. The school is fundamental in that, but also young people are obviously very influenced by their home environment and the wider community as well. That is why working collaboratively, in the way John Griffiths was just describing the work at Maindee primary, that collaborative working, is so important. I would just say that, last week, we published guidance on community-focused schools. It explains what a community-focused school is and why we believe that that approach is the best approach to support our children and young people. It was developed - and I thank all those who worked with us in relation to it - by Estyn, the National Academy for Educational Leadership, the consortia, local authorities, third sector organisations and others. So, that's now published. We will follow that up with a programme of professional learning to support heads and teachers in that journey. Crucial to this is multi-agency engagement, and we'll be publishing some supplementary guidance on how best to deliver that as well to reach our goal and to reflect the kind of fantastic work that John Griffiths was highlighting in his question.
Welsh: 'Cynnig gobaith' yw'r union ymadrodd cywir yng nghwestiwn John Griffiths. Rwy'n ymwybodol o'r gwaith y mae Ysgol Gynradd Maendy yn ei wneud. Rwyf wedi cyfarfod â rhai o'r staff, a byddwn yn falch iawn o ymweld â'r ysgol i weld drosof fy hun y gwaith gwych y gwn eu bod yn ei wneud. Y math o waith y mae'r ysgol yn ei wneud yw'r union fath o waith rydym am weld mwy a mwy o ysgolion yng Nghymru'n cael eu cefnogi i'w wneud. Rydym am i bob ysgol yng Nghymru fod yn ysgol â phwyslais ar y gymuned. Bydd hynny'n edrych yn wahanol mewn ysgolion gwahanol ac mewn cymunedau gwahanol, ond mae'n ymwneud yn sylfaenol ag adeiladu partneriaeth gref gyda theuluoedd, ymateb i'w cymuned, a chydweithio â gwasanaethau eraill. Rwy'n credu bod y cwricwlwm, gyda'i ffocws ar adlewyrchu cynefin a gwaith clwstwr a gwaith i adlewyrchu cymuned yr ysgol, yn rhoi sylfaen dda iawn i'r uchelgais sydd gennym. Mae gan ysgolion rôl hanfodol yn galluogi ein pobl ifanc i fod yn uchelgeisiol, yn fentrus ac yn foesegol - yr holl rinweddau a nodweddion sy'n ganolog i'r cwricwlwm newydd. Mae'r ysgol yn sylfaenol yn hynny, ond hefyd wrth gwrs, mae dylanwad amgylchedd eu cartref a'r gymuned ehangach yn dylanwadu'n fawr ar bobl ifanc. Dyna pam y mae gweithio ar y cyd, yn y ffordd roedd John Griffiths yn disgrifio'r gwaith yn Ysgol Gynradd Maendy, y cydweithio hwnnw, mor bwysig. Hoffwn ddweud ein bod wedi cyhoeddi canllawiau yr wythnos diwethaf ar ysgolion sy'n canolbwyntio ar y gymuned. Maent yn esbonio beth yw ysgol sy'n canolbwyntio ar y gymuned a pham ein bod yn credu mai'r dull hwnnw yw'r dull gorau o gefnogi ein plant a'n pobl ifanc. Datblygwyd y canllawiau - a diolch i bawb a weithiodd gyda ni mewn perthynas â hwy - gan Estyn, yr Academi Genedlaethol ar gyfer Arweinyddiaeth Addysgol, y consortia, awdurdodau lleol, sefydliadau'r trydydd sector ac eraill. Felly, mae'r rheini bellach wedi eu cyhoeddi. I ddilyn hynny, bydd gennym raglen o ddysgu proffesiynol i gefnogi penaethiaid ac athrawon ar y daith honno. Yn allweddol i hyn mae ymgysylltiad amlasiantaethol, a byddwn yn cyhoeddi canllawiau atodol ar y ffordd orau o gyflawni hynny hefyd i gyrraedd ein nod ac i adlewyrchu'r math o waith gwych roedd John Griffiths yn tynnu sylw ato yn ei gwestiwn.
