Bydd yr ysgolion a ddewisir ar gyfer y rhaglen wedi eu nodi fel ysgolion sy’n tanberfformio yn ôl sut maent wedi eu bandio a hefyd amryw o ffactorau sy’n ymwneud ag amddifadedd, a byddant yn cael pecyn o gymorth sydd wedi’i deilwra i fodloni anghenion yr ysgol unigol a’i hamgylchiadau. Bydd pawb sy’n cymryd rhan yn y rhaglen, gan gynnwys arweinwyr ysgolion, athrawon, llywodraethwyr a chonsortia, yn cael eu herio i wella.
Challenge schools, identified as underperforming as measured by banding and a range of deprivation related factors, will receive a package of support, individually tailored to meet the school’s needs depending on their circumstances. All those taking part in this programme, including school leaders, teachers, governors and consortia, will be challenged to improve.
