DISGYBLION NEWYDD<br />
Mae’r ysgol yn perthyn i ddalgylch eang a derbynnir disgyblion o ysgolion gwledig a threfol sy’n amrywio o<br />
ran eu maint. Ceir perthynas agos rhwng <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> a’r ysgolion cynradd sy’n ein bwydo a threfnir<br />
cyfarfodydd cyson rhwng yr athrawon i drafod addysg y disgyblion a sicrhau dilyniant rhwydd o’r cynradd i’r<br />
uwchradd.<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong>ion Cymraeg sy’n ein bwydo:<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Croes Atti, Y Fflint<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Glanrafon, Yr Wyddgrug<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Gwenffrwd, Treffynnon<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Mornant, Picton<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Terrig, Treuddyn<br />
Dros y 5 mlynedd diwethaf mae disgyblion wedi ymuno â’r cynllun Trochi o dros 30 o ysgolion cynradd<br />
Saesneg.<br />
Trosglwyddo<br />
Fe ddylai’r broses o drosglwyddo o’r ysgol gynradd i’r ysgol uwchradd fod yn un llyfn a phleserus i ddisgyblion<br />
a rhieni. Yn <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> mae trefniadau manwl yn eu lle er mwyn sicrhau fod y disgybl yn teimlo fel<br />
aelod o’r ysgol erbyn iddo/i gyrraedd ym mis Medi.<br />
Yn ystod tymor yr haf fe fydd athrawon <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> yn ymweld â phob disgybl yn ei ysgol gynradd ac<br />
yna fe fyddwn yn eu croesawu atom i dreulio amser yn yr ysgol hon. Hefyd, trefnir cyrsiau preswyl i osod<br />
sylfaen gymdeithasol cyn mis Medi. Defnyddir canolfannau Cenedlaethol yr Urdd, sef Glan Llyn a<br />
Llangrannog ar gyfer y cyrsiau hyn.<br />
‘Mae cyswllt ardderchog rhwng yr ysgol ac ysgolion cynradd cyfrwng Cymraeg a chyfrwng Saesneg sy’n<br />
bwydo’r ysgol a rhaglen anwytho’r ysgol sy’n sicrhau bod disgyblion B7 yn ymgartrefu’n gyflym. Mae<br />
hyn yn gryfder ac fe gaiff hynny ei gadarnhau gan rieni a disgyblion. Mae’r cyfle a gaiff disgyblion B6 o’r<br />
ysgolion cynradd cyfrwng Cymraeg sy’n bwydo’r ysgol i fynd i wersyll Llangrannog gyda disgyblion B7<br />
yn llwyddiant amlwg.’<br />
Arolwg Estyn 2006<br />

NEW PUPILS<br />
The school has a wide and varied catchment area and pupils are received from rural and urban schools which<br />
vary in their size. A close relationship has always existed between <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> and local primary<br />
schools and the heads and teachers from these schools meet <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> staff to discuss the pupils’ education<br />
and to ensure a smooth progression from the primary to the secondary sector.<br />
Welsh Medium Feeder Primary Schools:<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Croes Atti, Y Fflint<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Glanrafon, Yr Wyddgrug<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Gwenffrwd, Treffynnon<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Mornant, Picton<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> Terrig, Treuddyn<br />
During the past 5 years pupils have joined the Immersion scheme from over 30 different English medium<br />
primary schools.<br />
Transition<br />
The transition process between primary and secondary school should be a smooth and pleasurable one for<br />
pupils and parents alike. At <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> there are detailed arrangements in place to ensure that pupils<br />
already feel like members of the school by the time they arrive in September.<br />
During the summer term teachers from <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> visit every pupil in their primary school and in turn<br />
we welcome our new pupils to spend some time here. Residential courses are also arranged to lay a social<br />
foundation before September. The Urdd's national centres at Glan Llyn and Llangrannog are used for these<br />
courses.<br />
‘There is an excellent link between the school and Welsh and English medium primary schools that feed the<br />
school and its induction programme that ensures Y7 pupils settle quickly. This is a strength confirmed by<br />
parents and pupils. The opportunity for Y6 pupils from the primary schools that feed the school to go to the<br />
Llangrannog camp with Y7 pupils is a manifest success’<br />
Estyn Inspection 2006<br />
In addition to these arrangements for pupils there will be a meeting for all new parents in July and a pastoral<br />
parents evening in October. These meetings will give parents the opportunity to meet staff and discuss their<br />
child’s progress since the start of term.<br />
Parents and new pupils are always welcome to visit the school and appointments can be made by contacting the<br />
school office.<br />

CWRS TROCHI<br />
Mae penderfynu magu eich plant yn ddwyieithog yn benderfyniad pwysig ac yn un fydd yn cael effaith ar<br />
weddill eu hoes ac ar eich bywyd chi fel rhieni. Mae yna lawer o fanteision o fod yn gallu siarad dwy iaith.<br />
Bydd eich plant yn gallu mwynhau dau ddiwylliant a hefyd yn gallu pontio’r cenedlaethau wrth siarad yr un<br />
iaith â’u teidiau a’u neiniau neu’r teulu estynedig.<br />
Mae yna hefyd fanteision economaidd. Yng Nghymru heddiw, mae cyflogwyr yn chwilio am bobl sy’n gallu<br />
siarad Cymraeg a Saesneg ac yn gallu gweithio trwy gyfrwng y ddwy iaith. Mae ymchwil yn dangos bod plant<br />
sy’n deall mwy nag un iaith yn gallu meddwl yn fwy hyblyg a chreadigol.<br />
Mae gan <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> hanes llwyddiannus o groesawu disgyblion 11 oed nad oes ganddynt fawr o<br />
Gymraeg a fynychodd ysgolion cynradd cyfrwng Saesneg drwy eu trochi’n llythrennol yn yr iaith Gymraeg.<br />
Yn 2004, fe estynnwyd y cynllun oedd eisoes yn bodoli yn <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> mewn partneriaeth â Bwrdd yr<br />
Iaith Gymraeg i gynnig cwrs iaith dwys i holl ddisgyblion Blwyddyn 6 am 6 wythnos ar ddiwedd tymor yr haf.<br />
Mae’r cwrs yma’n darparu cyfle i ddisgyblion ddechrau dysgu Cymraeg cyn iddynt ddechrau blwyddyn 7 ac yn<br />
cynorthwyo’r broses pontio rhwng yr ysgol gynradd a’r ysgol uwchradd.<br />
‘Mae cwrs dwys i drochi dysgwyr B6 yn y Gymraeg cyn iddynt ddod i <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> yn ffordd o sicrhau<br />
eu bod yn ymgartrefu’n hapus, ac mae’r ddarpariaeth a gynigir i’r disgyblion yma, yn fugeiliol, yn<br />
ieithyddol ac yn academaidd, yn nodwedd ragorol.’<br />
Arolwg Estyn 2006<br />
Mae cwricwlwm arbennig yn cael ei ddarparu ar gyfer disgyblion y cwrs trochi. Ym mlwyddyn 7, mae cwrs<br />
iaith Gymraeg dwys yn cael ei ddarparu ar gyfer y rhai sy’n dod i <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> yn ddi-gymraeg. Mae<br />
staff sy’n arbenigo mewn ieithoedd a phynciau eraill yn canolbwyntio i ddechrau ar gyflwyno’r disgyblion i’r<br />
iaith Gymraeg, a ddaw’n gyfrwng ar gyfer astudio pynciau eraill yn uwch o fyny’r ysgol. Y nod yw darparu<br />
ystod eang o weithgareddau er mwyn rhoi profiad cyfoethog o ddysgu iddynt trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg, yn<br />
cynnwys cyrsiau preswyl.<br />
Mae rhaglen gyfannol o astudiaeth yn darparu cwricwlwm llawn a chynhwysfawr yn cynnwys Hanes,<br />
Daearyddiaeth a Drama sy’n cael eu hintegreiddio i’r sesiynau gweithgaredd. Mae Saesneg, Maths,<br />
Gwyddoniaeth, Technoleg, Addysg Gorfforol, Addysg Grefyddol, Celf a Cherddoriaeth yn cwblhau’r rhaglen ar<br />
gyfer y flwyddyn. Mae’r cyflwyniad o Ffrangeg yn cael ei gwtogi i un wers yr wythnos er mwyn rhoi amser i<br />
ddisgyblion atgyfnerthu eu Cymraeg.<br />
Nod yr ysgol yw galluogi disgyblion i ymdopi â bywyd trwy gyfrwng dwy iaith, ac rydym yn eu hannog i<br />
ddefnyddio’r Gymraeg cymaint â phosib ar gyfer cymdeithasu yn ogystal â gwaith. Gofynnwch i’r ysgol am<br />
gopi o’r DVD sy’n dweud mwy wrthych am y profiad o fod yn ddysgwr Cymraeg yn <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong>.<br />
Erbyn dechrau blwyddyn 9, mae’r holl ddisgyblion cwrs trochi yn cael eu hintegreiddio’n llawn i’w grŵp<br />

IMMERSION COURSE<br />
Deciding to bring up your children bilingually is an important decision and is one which will affect the rest of<br />
their lives and your lives as parents. There are many advantages to being able to speak two languages. Your<br />
children will be able to enjoy two cultures and they will also be able to bridge between generations, by speaking<br />
the same language as their grandparents or their extended family.<br />
There are also economic advantages. In Wales today, employers are looking for people who can speak and work<br />
in both English and Welsh. Research shows that children who understand more than one language are able to<br />
think more flexibly and creatively.<br />
<strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> has a successful history of welcoming 11 year old pupils who have none or very little<br />
Welsh and have attended English medium primary schools by quite literally immersing them in the Welsh<br />
language.<br />
In 2004 <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong>’s exisiting Immersion scheme, in partneship with the Welsh Language Board, was<br />
extended to offer all Year 6 pupils a 6 week intensive language course at the end of the summer term. This<br />
course provides pupils with the opportunity to start learning Welsh before they start year 7 and aids the<br />
transition process between primary and secondary school.<br />
‘an intensive course to immerse Y6 learners in Welsh before they come to <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> as a way of<br />
ensuring they settle in happily, and the provision offered to these pupils, pastorally, linguistically and<br />
academically, is an outstanding feature.’<br />
Estyn Inspection 2006<br />
A special curriculum is provided for Immersion course pupils. In year 7, an intensive Welsh language course is<br />
provided for those who enter <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> as non-Welsh speakers. Specialist staff in languages and<br />
other subject areas concentrate initially on introducing the pupils to Welsh, which will become the medium of<br />
studying other subjects further up the school. The aim is to provide a broad range of activities to give them a<br />
rich experience of learning through the medium of Welsh, including residential courses.<br />
An integrated programme of study provides a full and comprehensive curriculum including History, Geography<br />
and Drama which are integrated into the activities sessions. English, Maths, Science, Technology, Physical<br />
Education, R.E, Art and Music complete the programme for the year. The introduction of French is reduced to<br />
one lesson a week to allow pupils time to consolidate their Welsh.<br />
The aim of the school is to enable our pupils to cope with life through the medium of two languages and we<br />
encourage them to use Welsh as often as possible for socialising as well as work. Please ask the school for a<br />
copy of the DVD which tells you more about the experience of being a Welsh learner at <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong>.<br />
By the start of Year 9 all Immersion course pupils are fully integrated into their year group for all curriculum<br />
areas.<br />

Y Fagloriaeth Gymreig<br />
Mae Bagloriaeth Cymru yn gymhwyster sy’n cydnabod bron popeth mae pobl ifanc yn ei wneud yn yr ysgol.<br />
Mae’n cynnwys cymwysterau cydnabyddedig presennol fel rhai Galwedigaethol, Safon Uwch a TGAU ac yn<br />
ychwanegu ehangder a chydbwysedd trwy raglen o weithgareddau craidd.<br />
Mae <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> yn cyflwyno’r Fagloriaeth Gymreig ers 2009 ac mae’n orfodol i bob myfyriwr yn y<br />
Chweched Dosbarth. Mae’r Diploma Uwch yn cyfateb i radd A mewn Lefel A (Safon Uwch) ac yn werth 120<br />
pwynt UCAS. Mae’r profiadau a gaiff myfyrwyr yn sgil Y Fagloriaeth yn datblygu a chywreinio’r sgiliau a<br />
rhinweddau perthnasol mae cyflogwyr a sefydliadau addysg yn chwilio amdanynt. Mae’r profiadau hefyd yn<br />
cyfoethogi’r wybodaeth fanwl bynciol sydd eisoes yn cael ei darparu trwy’r Opsiynau. Gyda’r pwyslais ar<br />
ddysgu trwy wneud, ynghŷd â chyfleoedd i weithio gyda chyflogwyr, i ymwneud â gweithgareddau anturus a<br />
gweithio yn y gymuned i ddatblygu sgiliau angenrheidiol ar gyfer y dyfodol, mae’r Fagloriaeth Gymreig yn<br />
gymhwyster gwerthfawr a phwysig iawn i fyfyrwyr <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong>.<br />

Dros y blynyddoedd, mae gan ein myfyrwyr record ardderchog o fynd i Brifysgolion a Cholegau. Caiff bob un<br />
o’r myfyrwyr gyngor ac arweiniad arbennigol gan aelodau o staff sy’n eu hadnabod ers blwyddyn 7 i lunio<br />
ceisiadau Coleg neu Brifysgol a’u mentora’n rheolaidd i sicrhau eu bod yn cyflawni eu potensial.<br />
The Welsh Baccalaureate<br />
The Welsh Baccalaureate is a qualification, which recognises almost everything young people do in school. It<br />
includes current, approved Advanced Level, GCSE and Vocational courses and adds breadth and balance<br />
through a core curriculum. <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong> <strong>Garmon</strong> has offered the Welsh Baccalaureate since 2009 and it is a<br />
compulsory study area for all students. The Advanced Diploma corresponds to an A grade at Advanced Level<br />
which corresponds to 120 UCAS points. The experiences which the students gain through the Baccalaureate<br />
develop and embellish their personal skills and attributes which is what employers and educational<br />
establishments are looking for. These experiences also enrich the detailed subject knowledge which is already<br />
being provided via the Options. With the emphasis on learning by doing, together with the opportunities to work<br />
with employers, to be involved in adventurous activities and work in the community to develop necessary skills<br />
for the future, the Welsh Baccalaureate is a valuable and important qualification for the students of <strong>Ysgol</strong> <strong>Maes</strong><br />
<strong>Garmon</strong>.<br />
Our students have an excellent record of entry to Universities and Colleges. Every student will be given expert<br />
guidance and advice by staff, who have known them since year 7 when making their College and University<br />
applications. Mentoring schemes for students encourage them to fulfil their potential and achieve target grades.<br />
ANGHENION YCHWANEGOL / ADDITIONAL NEEDS<br />
Amcan yr ysgol ydy darparu cwricwlwm a gweithgareddau a fydd yn ysgogi a chryfhau cymhelliant y<br />
disgyblion fel eu bod yn cyrraedd eu llawn botensial. Credwn y gellir gweithredu hyn drwy gadw’n<br />
disgwyliadau o berfformiad pob disgybl yn uchel, a thrwy roi sylw arbennig i bob unigolyn. Cyfrifoldeb pob un<br />
o’r athrawon ydy pob disgybl. Trefnir darpariaeth arbennig i rai grwpiau neu unigolion sydd angen cymorth<br />
ychwanegol, ac fe weithredir rhestr argymhellion y Llywodraeth trwy’r camau Anghenion Addysgol<br />
Ychwanegol er lles y disgybl unigol. Gweithredir ar ofynion Datganiadau disgyblion unigol yn unol â Chôd<br />
Ymarfer Anghenion Addysgol Ychwanegol. Mae gan yr ysgol dîm o athrawon anghenion ychwanegol a<br />
Chymorthyddion Dosbarth, yn osgystal ag ymwelwyr cyson i’r ysgol, megis Athrawes Cefnogi Ymddygiad yr<br />
AALl, Swyddog Llês Addysgol a Seicolegydd Addysg.<br />
The aim of the school is to provide a curriculum and activities which will stimulate and reinforce the pupils’<br />
motivation so that they achieve their full potential. We believe that we can achieve this be keeping a high<br />
expectation of every pupil’s performance, and by giving each pupil special attention. Every pupil is the<br />
responsibility of every teacher. Support is arranged for some groups or individual pupils with additional needs<br />
statements but we do not label pupils by withdrawing them from their classes permanently. Individual pupil<br />
statements are acted upon in line with the Additional Needs Code of Practice. The school has a team of<br />
Additional Needs teachers and Classroom Support Workers, as well as the LEA’s Behaviour Support Teacher,<br />
Educational Social Worker and Education Psychologist.<br />

GWAITH CARTREF / HOMEWORK<br />
Gosodir gwaith cartref yn rheolaidd i atgyfnerthu gwaith y dosbarth, ac mae’n bwysig i bob disgybl gwblhau’r<br />
gwaith yn brydlon, ac i’r safon â ddisgwylir.<br />
Mae natur gwaith cartref yn amrywio ac hyderwn y bydd rhieni yn cefnogi eu plant drwy eu cymell i weithio’n<br />
rheolaidd gan ddefnyddio’r Dyddiadur Gwaith Cartref, sydd gan bob plentyn ym mlynyddoedd 7-11, fel dolen<br />
gyswllt rhwng y cartref a’r ysgol. Annogir disgyblion a rhieni i ddefnyddio Gwasanaeth Cefnogi Gwaith Cartref<br />
Bwrdd yr Iaith sydd yn cynnig cefnogaeth tu allan i oriau ysgol. Ceir rhagor o fanylion ar safwe Bwrdd yr Iaith<br />
sef www.byig-wlb.org.uk , gyrru ebost uniongyrchol at post@gwaithcartref.com neu ffonio 0871 230 0029.<br />
Gofynnir i rieni gysylltu â Phennaeth Blwyddyn eu plentyn os oes unrhyw broblemau gyda gwaith cartref.<br />
Homework is set regularly to reinforce classwork and it’s important for every pupil to complete the work on<br />
time and to the required standard. The nature of homework is varied and we hope that parents will support their<br />
children by encouraging them to work regularly, using the Dyddiadur Gwaith Cartref (homework diary),<br />
provided for all pupils in years 7-11, and use it as a vital link between home and school.<br />
Pupils and parents are encouraged to use the Welsh Language Board Homework Support Line which provides<br />
out of hours support. Details can be found at www.byig-wlb.org.uk or enquiries can be made by emailing<br />
post@gwaithcartref.com or by telephoning 0871 230 0029.<br />
Parents are asked to contact their child’s Head of Year if there are any problems with homework.<br />
GOFAL BUGEILIOL / PASTORAL CARE<br />
‘Mae traddodiad o ofalu’n dda am y disgyblion. Mae ansawdd y gofal, cymorth a chefnogaeth i<br />

ADDYSG GYRFAU / CAREERS EDUCATION<br />
Mae'r ysgol yn arddel addysg gyrfau fel gwasanaeth hollbwysig i'r bobl ifanc sydd yn ei gofal. Mae<br />
cysylltiadau arbennig o dda gyda Gyrfa Cymru, a hynny ar ben rhaglen addysg gyrfau cynhwysfawr o flwyddyn<br />
9 ymlaen. Bydd pob disgybl yn cael cyfnod o brofiad gwaith yn ystod blwyddyn 10 a blwyddyn 12. Anogir<br />

CHWARAEON / SPORTS<br />
Cred yr ysgol bod cadw’n heini, a ffitrwydd personol, yn gwbl allweddol i fwynhau bywyd iach a llawn. Ar<br />
gyfer y disgyblion hynny sydd â’r ddawn a diddordeb, trefnir gemau tîm megis pel droed, rygbi, pel rwyd a hoci<br />
rhwng ysgolion lleol ac mewn cystadlaethau lleol a chenedlaethol. Mae cyfle i astudio Addysg Gorfforol hyd at<br />
Safon Uwch, yn ogystal â chwricwlwm statudol Addysg Gorfforol. Mae sawl disgybl wedi cael eu dewis i<br />
gynrychioli’r sir, Gogledd Cymru a Chymru mewn meysydd amrwyiol ac mae’r ysgol yn hynod o falch o’u<br />
llwyddiannau.<br />
Yn ychwanegol i wersi Addysg Gorfforol caiff bob un disgybl y cyfle i fanteisio ar weithgaerddau a drefnir gan<br />
Swyddog 5 x 60 yr ysgol. Mae’r gweithgareddau yn amrywiol ac yn rhoi’r pwyslais ar gymryd rhan, cael hwyl a<br />
chadw’n heini.<br />

ability and interest, team games, including soccer, rugby, netball and hockey are arranged between local<br />
schools and in local and national competitions. There is an opportunity to study Physical Education to A level,<br />
in addition to the statutory Physical Education curriculum. Numerous pupils have been chosen to represent<br />
their county, North Wales or Wales in a variety of sports and the school is very proud of these achievements.<br />
In addition to Physical Education lessons every pupil has the opportunity to participate in activities organised<br />
by our 5 x 60 Officer. These activies are varied and place an emphasis on taking part, having fun and keeping<br />
fit.<br />

ADDYSG GREFYDDOL<br />
Cyflwynir Addysg ar Grefyddau mawr y byd a thrafodir materion moesol a chymdeithasol y dydd yn ystod gwersi Addysg<br />
Grefyddol. Bydd pob disgybl yn ymuno mewn cyfnod o addoli ar y cyd yn ddyddiol. Cyflwynir materion cyfoes i’w<br />
hystyried, a rhoddir cyfle i fyfyrio ar ein hymateb i’r materion hyn. Gall rhieni ofyn am eithrio’u plant o’r gwasanaethau<br />
am resymau cred neu ddaliadau crefyddol.<br />
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION<br />
Pupils learn about the main World Religions in RE lessons. There are also opportunities to discuss moral and social<br />
issues in these lessons. Every pupil will take part in a daily period of collective worship. Issues of the day are presented<br />
for consideration, followed by a period of reflection. Parents may request the withdrawal of their children from the<br />
services on religious grounds.<br />
ADDYSG RHYW<br />
Cymeradwywyd polisi addysg rhyw yr ysgol gan y Llywodraethwyr, ac fe’i cyflwynir yn ystod y rhaglen Addysg<br />
Bersonol, lle y trafodir cydberthynas yng nghyd-destun y teulu, mewn gwersi Gwyddoniaeth a rhai pynciau eraill. Yn<br />
ystod eu cyfnod yn y blynyddoedd iau cyflwynir sgyrsiau i’r disgyblion gan arbenigwyr allanol hefyd. Cred y<br />
Llywodraethwyr bod Addysg Rhyw yn bwysig i bob disgybl, ond mae hawl gennych, fel rhieni, i dynnu eich plentyn o’r<br />
gwersi hyn ond i chi ysgrifennu at yr ysgol ymlaen llaw.<br />
SEX EDUCATION<br />
The school’s policy was adopted by the Governors for introducing Sex Education during the programme of Personal<br />
Education, where inter-relationships are discussed in the context of the family, in Science lessons and in some other<br />
subjects. From time to time, presentations are made to all pupils by specialist advisers. The Governors believe that Sex<br />
Education is important for all pupils, but you, as parents, have the right to withdraw your child from these lessons by<br />
writing to the school beforehand.<br />
CYFLE CYFARTAL<br />
Gweithredir ar yr egwyddor o gyfle cyfartal ac ymgeisiwn yn barhaus i ddileu rhagfarn ar unrhyw sail. Caiff yr<br />
ymrwymiad i Gyfle Cyfartal ei ddatgan yn glir mewn nifer o’n polisiau, ac mae rhain ar gael drwy swyddfa’r ysgol.<br />
Bydd yr ysgol yn darparu mynediad i bob disgybl i bob agwedd o’r cwricwlwm.<br />
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY<br />
We are committed to the principle of equal opportunity and strive to eliminate discrimination of all kinds.<br />
commitment is expressed in a number of our policies, and these are available to you through the school office.<br />
The school will ensure suitable access for all pupils to all areas of the curriculum.<br />

IECHYD A DIOGELWCH<br />
Rhoddir pwys mawr ar iechyd a diogelwch pob disgybl a phawb sy’n gweithio ar y safle, neu’n ymweld â’r safle. Cymerir<br />
pob gofal wrth drefnu ymweliadau oddi ar dir yr ysgol, boed rheiny yn lleol neu yn deithiau mwy sylweddol megis<br />
teithiau i wledydd Ewrop. Mae Iechyd a Diogelwch yn flaenoriaeth ym mhob gwers, ond mae rhai meysydd yn dilyn<br />
canllawiau arbennigol. Gellir cael rhagor o wybodaeth am y manylion hyn drwy’r ysgol neu gan yr adrannau perthansol.<br />
Rhaid i bob ymwelydd â’r ysgol arwyddo’i bresenoldeb yn swyddfa’r ysgol.<br />
HEALTH AND SAFETY<br />
The health and safety of all pupils, and indeed everyone who works on the site, or who visits the site, is of the highest<br />
priority. Every care is taken when pupils are taken off site, whether that be locally or further afield, such as visits to<br />
mainland Europe.<br />
Health and safety are priorities in all lessons, and some subject areas must follow more stringent guidelines. More<br />
information on these matters is available from the school or the relevant department.<br />
All visitors to school must sign the record book in the school office.<br />

Mae canlyniadau’r ysgol yn gyson uchel mewn arholiadau cyhoeddus, ac yn cael eu cyhoeddi’n rheolaidd.<br />
TGAU ar ddiwedd blwyddyn 11 a’r arholiadau Uwch Gyfrannol (AS) a Safon Uwch yw prif arholiadau’r<br />
mwyafrif o ddisgyblion. Caiff lefelau Cwricwlwm Cenedlaethol eu rhoi i blant ar derfyn blwyddyn 9 yn y<br />
pynciau Craidd a’r pynciau Sylfaen i gyd. Dros y blynyddoedd bu gwelliant cyson yn y canlyniadau hyn, ac un<br />
o brif nodau’r ysgol yw parhau i wella’r canlyniadau er lles pob disgybl unigol.<br />
Cynhwysir y canlyniadau diweddaraf fel atodiad i'r prosbectws hwn.<br />
The school’s results are consistently high in public examinations and are published regularly. The main exams<br />
for the majority of pupils are GCSE at the end of year 11 and AS and A Level in the sixth form. National<br />
Curriculum levels are awarded in the Core and Foundation subjects at the end of year 9. Over the years the<br />
results have improved consistently, and one of the school's main aims is to continue to improve on these results<br />
for the benefit of each individual pupil.<br />
