Having scrapped the School League Tables, the Welsh Government have now introduced a School Banding Programme.

This development has been roundly opposed by Teaching Unions and other interested parties.

---------------------------

Ar ol cael gwared o dablau Ysgolion mae Llywodraeth y Cynulliad bellach wedi cyflwyno trefn o fandio ysgolion.

Mae hyn wedi cael ei wrthwynebu gan Undebau Athrawon a chyrff eraill.

We believe that the school banding system introduced by the Welsh Government is inherently unfair and does not provide a comprehensive view of a school's performance.

We believe it to be a proxy for league tables, and risks creating a stigma when schools are named and shamed, causing a cycle of decline with parents and teachers abandoning schools in the lower bands.

We call on the Welsh Government to scrap School banding and introduce a constructive evaluation process which leads to targeted support to remedy poor performance in schools.

--------------------------

Credwn fod y drefn o fandio Ysgolion sydd wedi ei gyflwyno gan Lywodraeth y Cynulliad yn anheg ac nad ydyw'n rhoi trosolwg cynhwysfawr o berfformiad yr ysgol.

Credwn ei fod yn ddim mwy na phrocsi ar gyfer tablau ysgolion, ac yn bygwth creu stigma wrth i ysgolion gael eu henwi a'u cywilyddio, gan greu cylch seithig wrth i rieni ac athrawon adael ysgolion yn y bandiau isaf.

Galwn ar i Lywodraeth y Cynulliad i gael gwared o'r bandio a chyflwyno proses arfarnu adeiladol fydd yn arwain at gefnogaeth wedi ei dargedu ar gyfer ysgolion sy'n tanberfformio.
