Mae'r system yn gwerthuso ac yn asesu ysgolion ac yn eu gosod mewn categori cymorth drwy ddefnyddio'r broses ganlynol:Cam un: rhoddir ystod eang o wybodaeth am berfformiad i ysgolion gan Lywodraeth Cymru fel sail i’w hunanwerthusiad o’u capasiti i wella mewn perthynas â dysgu ac addysgu, ac fel man cychwyn i’w trafodaethau â’r cynghorydd herio yn y consortiwm rhanbarthol am eu perfformiad a'r meysydd i’w gwella;Cam dau: caiff hunanwerthusiad yr ysgol ei asesu gan gynghorwyr her yn y consortia rhanbarthol;Cam tri: ar ôl i'r dangosyddion deilliannau a'r wybodaeth hunanwerthuso gael eu dadansoddi, cytunir ar gategori cymorth drafft drwy drafod â’r ysgol. Caiff y categori hwn ei gymedroli gan yr awdurdod lleol a’r consortiwm addysg rhanbarthol. Yna, caiff ei wirio ar lefel genedlaethol, a rhoddir categori lliw i’r ysgol a fydd yn sbarduno rhaglen benodol o gymorth, heriau ac ymyriadau.
The system evaluates and assesses schools and places them in a support category using the following process:Step One: a broad range of performance information is provided by the Welsh Government to inform schools’ self-evaluation of their capacity to improve in relation to teaching and learning; and inform the starting point of discussions with their regional consortium challenge advisor about their performance and areas for improvement;Step Two: assessment of the schools’ self-evaluation by challenge advisers in the regional consortia;Step Three: after the outcome indicators and self-evaluation information have been analysed, a draft support category is agreed in discussion with the school. This category is moderated by the local authority and regional education consortium, verified nationally, and leads to a colour-coded support category for the school which will trigger a tailored programme of support, challenge and intervention.
