English: Thank you, Meilyr. As Meilyr has said, we've worked very closely with local authorities to gather evidence on the work that they've been doing. And we've asked parents, school leaders, the children themselves, and staff in the schools to give their feedback too, and, on the whole, the feedback has been positive about the work that local authorities have done with schools during this period. Certainly, schools have appreciated the leadership that local authorities have given, certainly just the practical assistance that they've been able to give at each step of this journey. Certainly, we've also seen, where working patterns have already been in place - . For example, in Bridgend, they have early-help locality service models - sorry, I don't know the Welsh for that - where there is that pattern, for example, of different services working together. And we have seen, where that's been in place, that they've been able to transfer that kind of way of working more swiftly in response early on during the pandemic. Also the consortia have worked with local authorities and schools to share good practice. They've created examples of good practice and guidance, and have prepared courses, and so on, to assist and develop the skills of teachers during this period. So, we have found many positive things, and there are several examples in that report - certainly, what we have already mentioned with regard to the focus on well-being, and then, perhaps, getting to grips more with the quality of remote learning. Those were some of the suggestions that we made in the report, so there is a need to have a greater focus on that quality of provision in schools and on the local authority level as well. From the point of view of the consortia, we haven't found that the uncertainty in the south west has impacted how schools have felt - that they've received support from the local authority there. So, the schools have been relatively positive. On the whole, we've found that schools are less clear about the role of the consortia during this period. They've spoken more about what the local authority has done, rather than the consortia, so that's a more varied picture across Wales for the consortia. As Meilyr has said, in terms of the authorities that have caused concern for us in the past, we haven't found that this has affected the way that they've supported schools at this time. Indeed, some of them have responded very positively, and have succeeded in continuing with some of the improvement work, and have maintained that focus on the improvement journey at the same time as supporting the schools as well.
Welsh: Diolch, Meilyr. Fel mae Meilyr wedi dweud, rŷn ni wedi gweithio'n agos iawn gyda'r awdurdodau lleol i gasglu tystiolaeth ar y gwaith maen nhw wedi bod yn ei wneud. Ac rydyn ni wedi gofyn i rieni, i arweinwyr ysgol, i blant eu hunain, i staff yn yr ysgol am adborth hefyd, ac, ar y cyfan, mae'r adborth yna wedi bod yn bositif am y gwaith mae'r awdurdodau lleol wedi'i wneud gyda'r ysgolion yn ystod y cyfnod yma. Yn sicr, mae ysgolion wedi gwerthfawrogi yr arweiniad mae awdurdodau lleol wedi'i roi, ac, yn sicr, jest yr help practical maen nhw wedi'i roi ar bob cam o'r daith yma. Yn sicr, rŷn ni wedi gweld bod, lle mae patrymau o weithio wedi bod yn eu lle yn barod - . Er enghraifft, ym Mhen-y-bont, maen nhw'n cael early-help locality service models - sori, dwi ddim â'r Gymraeg ar gyfer hwnna - lle mae patrwm, er enghraifft, o wasanaethau gwahanol yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd, rydyn ni wedi gweld eu bod nhw wedi trosglwyddo'r fath o weithio yna yn gyflymach i ymateb yn gynnar yn y pandemig. Hefyd mae'r consortia wedi gweithio gyda'r awdurdodau lleol ac ysgolion i rannu arfer da. Maen nhw wedi creu enghreifftiau o arfer da ac arweiniad, ac wedi paratoi cyrsiau, ac yn y blaen, i helpu i ddatblygu sgiliau athrawon yn ystod y cyfnod yma. So, rydyn ni wedi ffeindio llawer o bethau positif, ac mae llawer o enghreifftiau yn yr adroddiad yna. Yn sicr, rydyn ni wedi sôn yn barod am y ffocws ar les ac wedyn, efallai, yn mynd mwy i'r afael â'r safbwynt ansawdd dysgu o bell. Dyna un o'n hargymhellion ni yn yr adroddiad, so mae angen cael mwy o ffocws ar yr ansawdd yna yn yr ysgol ac o safbwynt yr awdurdod lleol hefyd. O safbwynt y consortia, dydyn ni ddim wedi ffeindio bod yr ansicrwydd yn y de orllewin wedi really effeithio ar sut mae ysgolion wedi teimlo - eu bod nhw wedi cael cefnogaeth o'r awdurdod lleol. So, mae'r ysgolion wedi bod yn eithaf positif. Ar y cyfan, rydyn ni wedi ffeindio bod ysgolion yn llai clir o rôl y consortiwm yn ystod y cyfnod yma. Maen nhw wedi sôn mwy am beth mae'r awdurdod lleol wedi'i wneud, so mae hwnna'n fwy amrywiol ar draws Cymru. Fel mae Meilyr wedi'i ddweud, o safbwynt yr awdurdodau sydd wedi achosi pryder i ni o'r blaen, dydyn ni ddim wedi ffeindio bod hwn wedi effeithio ar sut maen nhw wedi cefnogi ysgolion yn ystod y cyfnod yna. Ar yr ochr arall, mae rhai ohonyn nhw wedi ymateb yn really positif, ac wedi llwyddo cario ymlaen gyda rhywfaint o'r gwaith gwella a chael y ffocws ar daith gwella eu hunain ar yr un pryd â chefnogi ysgolion hefyd.
