Bydd y cyllid newydd hwn - £1.7 miliwn - yn fwy hyblyg a pherthnasol i anghenion dysgwyr difreintiedig na’r grant gwisg ysgol blaenorol; bydd hefyd yn cefnogi mwy o ddysgwyr. Rydym yn canolbwyntio ar y cyfnod mynediad i addysg a’r cyfnod pontio i’r ysgol uwchradd. Am y tro cyntaf, bydd y cyllid ar gael i ddysgwyr yn y dosbarth Derbyn a Blwyddyn 7 sy’n gymwys am brydau ysgol am ddim neu sy’n derbyn gofal.
This new fund – amounting to £1.7 million – will be more flexible and relevant to the needs of disadvantaged learners than the previous school uniform grant; it will also support more learners.   We are focusing the new grant on the entry point into education and transition into secondary school.   For the first time, learners in both Reception and Year 7, who are eligible for free school meals, or are children who are looked after, will fall within scope of the funding.
