Mae'r cyllid a ddyrennir i gefnogi teithiau gwella unigol yr ysgolion Llwybrau Llwyddiant yn amrywio, ac mae hynny'n gwbl briodol. Crëwyd Her Ysgolion Cymru er mwyn gallu ymateb i gyfres unigryw o amgylchiadau ymhob un o'r Ysgolion Llwybrau Llwyddiant. Caiff cryfderau'r ysgolion hyn eu cydnabod a chaiff camau eu cymryd i adeiladu arnynt. Mae'r ysgolion hefyd yn derbyn cefnogaeth i ymateb i'w heriau. Derbyniodd pob ysgol gyllid ar gyfer cyflawni'r blaenoriaethau allweddol a nodir yn ei Chynllun Datblygu Ysgol unigol - sef map cynhwysfawr o'r cam nesaf ar hyd taith wella'r ysgol. Mae'r Cynllun Datblygu'n adlewyrchu cyd-destun unigryw a cham datblygiad yr ysgol. Bu Grŵp Hyrwyddwyr Her Ysgolion Cymru'n craffu ar y rhain er mwyn sicrhau cysondeb cyffredinol o safbwynt eu hansawdd, bod adnoddau wedi'u neilltuo mewn modd a fyddai'n sicrhau'r effaith fwyaf, a bod targedau'n sicrhau'r cydbwysedd cywir rhwng uchelgais a'r hyn a oedd yn bosibl.
The funding allocated to support the individual improvement journeys of each of the Pathways to Success schools varies, and rightly so. Schools Challenge Cymru was designed to respond to a unique set of circumstances in each of the Pathways to Success Schools, acknowledging and building on strengths, while supporting them to respond to their challenges. Each school was therefore awarded funding to support the delivery of key priorities as set out in their individual School Development Plan - a comprehensive map of the next stage of the school’s improvement journey, reflecting their unique situational context and stage of development. These were scrutinised by the Schools Challenge Cymru Champions Group to ensure there was broad consistency in their quality, that resources were allocated where they would make greatest impact, and that targets struck the right balance between ambition and what was possible.
