O ganlyniad i Ddeddf Addysg 2002, gosodwyd safonau uwch i’r sector ysgolion annibynnol yn gyfan o dan ran 10 mewn perthynas â chofrestru (adran 160 o Ddeddf Addysg 2002) a'r rheoliadau sy'n ategu hynny. Mae'r safonau a ddefnyddir i farnu'r holl ysgolion annibynnol bellach yn uwch na'r rhai a nodir yn y rheoliadau sy'n bodoli ar hyn o bryd wrth ystyried a yw ysgol annibynnol yn addas i blant ag AAA o dan adran 347.
As a result of the Education Act 2002, higher standards have been set for the independent school sector as a whole under part 10 with regard to registration (section 160 of the Education Act 2002) and regulations that support this. The standards against which all independent schools are judged are now higher than those set out in the regulations that are currently in place when considering an independent school as suitable for children with SEN under section 347.
