I gloi, mae’n werth ailadrodd bod yna safon sylfaenol gymeradwy ar gyfer perfformiad disgyblion sy'n gymwys i gael prydau ysgol am ddim mewn ysgolion uwchradd. Mae hyn er mwyn sicrhau ffocws cyson ar y grŵp hwn o ddisgyblion. Cyflwynwyd hyn am y tro cyntaf ar gyfer deilliannau 2015. Y lefel a bennwyd oedd 30%, gan gynyddu i 32% yn 2016 a 34% yn 2017. Golyga hyn, lle bo perfformiad ysgol o ran ei disgyblion sy'n gymwys i gael prydau ysgol am ddim yn is na’r safon sylfaenol gymeradwy, ni chaiff yr ysgol honno fod mewn grŵp safonau gwell na 3. Os bydd yr ysgol yn gwneud yn dda o ran dangosyddion eraill yn nes ymlaen a hefyd yn cael asesiad da gan y consortia yna, ar y gorau, gall yr ysgol dan sylw gael ei rhoi yn y categori melyn. I grynhoi, ni fydd yna unrhyw ysgolion gwyrdd yng Nghymru nad ydynt wedi cyrraedd y safon sylfaenol gymeradwy o 32% (cyfartaledd dros dair blynedd wedi’i bwysoli) ar gyfer eu disgyblion sy'n gymwys i gael prydau ysgol am ddim 2016.
Finally, it is worth reiterating that, in order to ensure a maintained focus on the performance of eFSM pupils, there is an agreed minimum standard for the performance of this group of learners in secondary schools. This was introduced for the 2015 outcomes and set at a level of 30% increasing incrementally to 32% in 2016 and 34% in 2017. This means that, where a school’s performance of eFSM learners is below the agreed minimum standard, the judgement in relation to their standards group will not be assessed as being better than a 3. If other indicators are good, and correlate with a strong consortia assessment at later steps, then a school can be awarded a yellow category at best. Therefore there will be no green schools in Wales who have not met the minimum standard of 32% (three year weighted average) for its free school meals pupils in 2016.
