Barn Estyn oedd bod y gallu i wella yn anfoddhaol. Canfu fod arweinwyr corfforaethol ac uwch aelodau etholedig wedi bod yn rhy araf i gydnabod problemau allweddol o ran diogelu a newid y diwylliant mewn gwasanaethau addysg, a’u gwella. Roedd yr arweiniad ar lefel cyfarwyddiaeth a gwasanaeth yn wan ac roedd yr aelodau etholedig wedi’i chael yn anodd craffu ar benderfyniadau yn ddigonol a dwyn gwasanaethau i gyfrif.
Estyn judged the prospects for improvement as unsatisfactory.  It found that corporate leaders and senior elected members have been too slow to recognise key issues in safeguarding and to change the culture in, and improve, education services.  Leadership at directorate and service level is weak and elected members have found it difficult to scrutinise decisions adequately and hold services to account.
