English: Diolch. I previously raised concerns with you that, in Flintshire, in the past, old and inaccurate data was used in breach of the school organisation code in terms of school closures in Llanfynydd, Flint Mountain and John Summers High School. There are now proposals to close and forcibly amalgamate Lixwm County Primary School, which I hope will be on your list, because it's very much a rural school in every sense of the term. The consultation recently closed. Although it identified a high level of pupils with special educational needs or additional learning needs, it didn't then meet the code's requirements in terms of the matters that need to be reported in the consultation document. It consulted with the school council, but I understand from governors that the initial engagement didn't present them with the option of closure and they were quite relaxed. When the actual options were given to them subsequently, of course they opposed the proposal for closure and amalgamation, and much more besides. I have submitted a consultation response making these points, so you've no need to suggest that I might, but, given your response just a few moments ago, and your response to Darren Millar in the Chamber on 25 April, as I've said quite clearly, my expectation is that local authorities should be working the grain of the new code, with the presumption against rural school closure within it. What action can you now take if a council proceeds with proposed closure in accordance with consultation if the evidence suggests that the content of that consultation did not reflect the current circumstance?
Welsh: Diolch. Rwyf eisoes wedi dwyn pryderon i'ch sylw fod hen ddata anghywir wedi cael ei ddefnyddio yn Sir y Fflint yn y gorffennol gan fynd yn groes i'r cod trefniadaeth ysgolion mewn perthynas â chau ysgolion yn Llanfynydd, Mynydd y Fflint ac Ysgol Uwchradd John Summers. Bellach, ceir cynigion i gau ac uno Ysgol Gynradd Gymunedol Licswm, a gobeithio y bydd honno ar eich rhestr, gan ei bod yn ysgol wledig ym mhob ystyr o'r gair. Daeth yr ymgynghoriad i ben yn ddiweddar. Er ei fod wedi nodi lefel uchel o ddisgyblion ag anghenion addysgol arbennig neu anghenion dysgu ychwanegol, nid oedd yn bodloni gofynion y cod ar y pryd o ran y materion y mae angen eu nodi yn y ddogfen ymgynghori. Ymgynghorodd â chyngor yr ysgol, ond deallaf gan y llywodraethwyr na roddwyd yr opsiwn o gau iddynt yn yr ymgysylltiad cychwynnol, ac nid oeddent yn bryderus. Pan roddwyd yr opsiynau gwirioneddol iddynt wedi hynny, wrth gwrs, roeddent yn gwrthwynebu'r cynnig i gau ac uno, ymhlith llawer o bethau eraill. Rwyf wedi cyflwyno ymateb i'r ymgynghoriad gan nodi'r pwyntiau hyn, felly nid oes angen i chi awgrymu y dylwn wneud hynny, ond o ystyried eich ymateb ychydig eiliadau yn ôl, a'ch ymateb i Darren Millar yn y Siambr ar 25 Ebrill, fel rwyf wedi'i ddweud yn gwbl glir, rwy'n disgwyl i awdurdodau lleol weithio gyda graen y cod newydd, gyda'r rhagdybiaeth yn erbyn cau ysgolion gwledig yn rhan ohono. Pa gamau y gallwch eu cymryd bellach os yw cyngor yn bwrw ymlaen â'r bwriad i gau yn unol ag ymgynghoriad os yw'r dystiolaeth yn awgrymu nad oedd cynnwys yr ymgynghoriad hwnnw'n adlewyrchu'r sefyllfa bresennol?
