English: As of January 2018, 88 per cent of all maintained primary schools are offering a free breakfast club, allowing learners at that school to benefit, as I said, from that healthy breakfast before they start the school day. Indeed, the evidence would suggest - and I have to admit, and there are people who've been in the Chamber long enough to know that I was highly sceptical of the free breakfast scheme when it was first introduced, but the evidence and the evaluation that have subsequently been carried - [ Interruption.] The evidence and evaluation that have been carried out actually have proven the fact that this does make a difference, and I would be the first to admit that, having had that evaluation carried out, this policy makes a difference. One of the ways it does make a difference, actually, is that it is the ability to access that food that is the incentive for parents and, indeed, sometimes, sadly, children on their own, to get themselves out of bed, dressed, and to the school. So, we also need to have conversations with schools about how we can ensure more children are able to do that, but I have not had any conversations about making that food available later on in the day. But there is good practice out there. I would draw the Member's attention to a school in Wrexham constituency serving a deprived community, where the headteacher uses some of his pupil development grant to create a walking bus. And, actually, staff of that school go into the local housing estate, they collect the children from home, they walk them into school, so that they can attend breakfast club and so that they will be ready for the school day. It's such innovative practice on behalf of the headteacher, enabled by the pupil development grant, that I applaud.
Welsh: Ers mis Ionawr 2018, mae 88 y cant o'r holl ysgolion cynradd a gynhelir yn cynnig clwb brecwast am ddim, gan ganiatáu i ddysgwyr yn yr ysgol honno fanteisio, fel y dywedais, ar y brecwast iach hwnnw cyn iddynt ddechrau'r diwrnod ysgol. Yn wir, byddai'r dystiolaeth yn awgrymu - ac mae'n rhaid imi gyfaddef, ac mae pobl sydd wedi bod yn y Siambr yn ddigon hir i wybod fy mod yn amheus iawn o'r cynllun brecwast am ddim pan gafodd ei gyflwyno gyntaf, ond mae'r dystiolaeth a'r gwerthuso a gynhaliwyd ers hynny - [ Torri ar draws.] Mae'r dystiolaeth a'r gwerthuso a gynhaliwyd wedi profi bod hyn yn gwneud gwahaniaeth, a fi fyddai'r cyntaf i gyfaddef, wedi cynnal y gwerthusiad hwnnw, fod y polisi hwn yn gwneud gwahaniaeth. Un o'r ffyrdd y mae'n gwneud gwahaniaeth, mewn gwirionedd, yw mai'r gallu i gael mynediad at y bwyd hwnnw yw'r cymhelliad i rieni, ac yn wir, y plant eu hunain weithiau, yn anffodus, i godi o'r gwely, i wisgo, ac i'r ysgol. Felly, mae angen inni gael sgyrsiau gydag ysgolion hefyd ynglŷn â sut y gallwn sicrhau bod mwy o blant yn gallu gwneud hynny, ond nid wyf wedi cael unrhyw sgyrsiau ynglŷn â sicrhau bod y bwyd hwnnw ar gael yn nes ymlaen yn y dydd. Ond mae arferion da i'w cael. Hoffwn dynnu sylw'r Aelod at ysgol yn etholaeth Wrecsam sy'n gwasanaethu cymuned ddifreintiedig, lle y mae'r pennaeth yn defnyddio peth o'i grant datblygu disgyblion i greu bws cerdded. Ac mewn gwirionedd, mae staff yr ysgol honno'n mynd i'r ystâd dai leol, maent yn casglu'r plant o'u cartrefi, maent yn eu hebrwng i'r ysgol, fel y gallant fynychu clwb brecwast ac fel y byddant yn barod ar gyfer y diwrnod ysgol. Rwy'n cymeradwyo arfer mor arloesol ar ran y pennaeth, ac fe'i galluogir gan y grant datblygu disgyblion.
