Fel rhan o'r dull hwn o weithio, mae Owain ap Dafydd, Pennaeth Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni, eisoes wedi dwyn ynghyd rhwydwaith o dros 30 o ysgolion cyfrwng Cymraeg a fydd yn chwarae rhan allweddol yn Rhwydwaith ehangach yr Ysgolion Arloesi, drwy gynllunio a datblygu'r cwricwlwm newydd a chefnogi'r gwaith o weithredu'r Fargen Newydd. Yn sgil hynny, er bod rhai o'n hysgolion cyfrwng Cymraeg eisoes wedi'u cynnwys yn y rhestr yr wyf yn ei chyhoeddi heddiw; caiff eraill eu hadnabod fel rhan o'r trafodaethau sy'n mynd rhagddynt ag Owain a'r consortia rhanbarthol - gan ddatblygu ei rwydwaith - dros yr wythnosau nesaf. Er mwyn arwain hwn, mae Owain wedi rhoi gwybod am ei fwriad i roi'r gorau i'w rôl fel aelod o'r Grŵp Cynghori Annibynnol.
As part of this approach Owain ap Dafydd, Headteacher of Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni, has already brought together a network of over 30 Welsh-medium schools who will form a key element of the wider Pioneer Network, designing and developing the new curriculum and supporting the implementation of the New Deal. Consequently, whilst some of our Welsh- medium schools are already included in the list I am publishing today; others will be identified as part of ongoing discussions with Owain and the regional consortia - building on his emerging network - over the coming weeks. In order to lead this, Owain has indicated his intention to step down from his role as a member of the Independent Advisory Group.
