Nodyn Esboniadol

(Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Rheoliadau)

Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn diwygio Rheoliadau Addysg (Cynigion Trefniadaeth Ysgolion) (Cymru) 1999 (OS 1999/1671) (“y Prif Reoliadau”). Mae'r Rheoliadau —

• yn gweithredu'r diwygiad i adran 28 o Ddeddf Safonau a Fframwaith Ysgolion 1998 a wnaed gan adran 154 o Ddeddf Addysg 2002; ac

• yn diwygio'r Prif Reoliadau er mwyn caniatáu i ysgolion gymryd rhan mewn cynlluniau peilot Cymraeg sydd wedi'u cymeradwyo gan Gynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru, heb gyhoeddi cynigion (rheoliad 7).

Mae'r Rheoliadau'n rhagnodi newidiadau i ysgolion meithrin a gynhelir ac y mae'n rhaid i awdurdodau addysg lleol gyhoeddi cynigion ar eu cyfer (rheoliadau 5 ac 8).

Mae rheoliad 4 yn ailddiffinio'r term “mainstream school” i gynnwys ysgolion meithrin a gynhelir. Effaith hyn yw

• rhagnodi gwybodaeth i'w chynnwys mewn cynigion cyhoeddedig;

• rhagnodi dull cyhoeddi cynigion;

• rhagnodi materion penodol mewn perthynas â gwrthwynebiadau; a

• rhagnodi materion penodol mewn perthynas ag addasiadau,

lle y mae a wnelo cynigion ag ysgolion meithrin a gynhelir (rheoliad 4).

Mae rheoliad 9 yn gwneud diwygiadau canlyniadol i Atodlen 3 o'r Prif Reoliadau (gwybodaeth i'w chynnwys mewn cynigion cyhoeddedig).

Mae Atodlen 4 o'r Prif Reoliadau (gwybodaeth i'w darparu ar gyfer y Cynulliad) yn gymwys i gynigion ynghylch ysgolion meithrin a gynhelir yn rhinwedd y diwygiadau i adran 28 o Ddeddf 1998 a wnaed gan adran 154 o Ddeddf 2002 a rheoliad 6 o'r prif Reoliadau. Mae rheoliad 10 yn diwygio Atodlen 4 i'r Prif Reoliadau er mwyn gwneud darpariaeth benodol bellach mewn perthynas ag ysgolion meithrin a gynhelir ac addysg feithrin sydd i'w darparu mewn ysgolion cynradd nad ydynt yn ysgolion meithrin.
