Ar hyn o bryd, mae Deddf Addysg 1996 (“y Ddeddf”) yn rhoi'r pŵer i Weinidogion Cymru gymeradwyo ysgol annibynnol fel un sy'n addas i dderbyn plant y mae datganiadau AAA ar eu cyfer yn cael eu cynnal gan yr awdurdod lleol. Er mwyn i blentyn gael ei leoli mewn ysgol annibynnol, rhaid bod Gweinidogion Cymru naill ai wedi cymeradwyo'r ysgol fel un addas i dderbyn plant â datganiadau AAA yn gyffredinol, neu wedi cymeradwyo lleoli plentyn penodol mewn ysgol benodol (adran 347 o'r Ddeddf).
The Education Act 1996 (“the Act”) currently gives power for Welsh Ministers to approve an independent school as suitable for the admission of children for whom statements of SEN are maintained by the local authority. For a child to be placed in an independent school, Welsh Ministers must either have approved the school as suitable for the admission of children with SEN statements generally or have approved the placement of a specific child in a particular school (section 347 of the Act).
