Gair o’r Gadair / A word from the Chair
It is with great pleasure that the governing body of Ysgol Pen y Pîl presents the
Annual report to parents for 2010-11.
Since we moved into our new School in January 2011 a lot of things have
happened. We have had a consultation for our nursery which we hope will
open in September 2012, and in December we held an official opening. I must
say a big thank you to all the staff and especially the children for the fantastic
work they put in. The video was especially good.
We must say a big thank you to the staff from Bro Eirwg who come down to our
school on a regular basis. They give our staff excellent guidance and invaluable
support. A big thank you to our support staff, and to Mrs Gibby Williams,
Headteacher of Bro Eirwg and Headteacher in charge of Pen y Pîl.
The governing body looks forward to meeting you on March 6th for our AGM.
Mrs Alison Gale
Chairman of the Governing Body

Adroddiad Blwyddyn 3 Ysgol Pen-y-Pîl 2010 – 2011
Tymor yr Hydref 2010
Cychwynnom ni'r flwyddyn yn dathlu digwyddiad chwaraeon pwysig yn ein hardal, sef y
Cwpan Ryder. Dysgodd y plant ychydig am reolau Golff, am rhai o'r sêr sy'n chwarae
ac fe gawson gyfle i ymarfer eu 'pytio' yn y dosbarth!
Gwahoddwyd y rhieni i wasanaeth 'Diolchgarwch' y plant lle gwelwyd Blwyddyn 3 yn
canu 'Cofia Bob Amser' ac yn cyd-adrodd cerdd o'u cof cyn gwrando ar wasanaeth Mr
Adam Coleman.
Ein thema ni'r tymor yma oedd 'Y Celtiaid' ac fe astudiom bob agwedd o'u bywyd o'u
gwreiddiau a ffordd o fwy, i'w crefydd a'u dillad. Mwynhaodd y plant wisgo fyny fel
Celt neu Rufeinwr i chwarae rôl gan baentio eu hwynebau gyda lliw glas rhyfelgar! Fe
fûm yn cymharu nodweddion ein tai cyfoes gyda nodweddion tai crwn o'r Oes Haearn
ac fe gynlluniom ac adeiladom Fryniau Gaer 3D y ein gwersi Celf a Dylunio. Dysgom am
Benaethiaid eu Llwythi ac fe gynhaliom arbrawf gwyddonol i ddarganfod pa
ddefnyddiau fuasai’n addas i Gelt ddefnyddio i greu ei wisg. Datblygom ein gallu i
weithio mewn grŵp wrth i ni gynllunio a chreu tarian a chleddyf o 'fod-roc' a
gwehyddu yn ei gwersi Celf. Ond rhaid dweud mai pinacl ein dysgu oedd cael mynd ar
drip i Sain Ffagan i ymweld â'r Pentref Celtaidd a chael ein tywys o gwmpas gan Gelt
go iawn! Cawsom gyfle i falu grawn i wneud bara a chael stori o gwmpas y tan!
Codom arian tuag at Blant Mewn Angen ym mis Tachwedd wrth gynnal cystadlaethau
dyfalu enw'r tedi, gwisgo dillad ei hun ac amcangyfrif faint o leiniau oedd y jar!
Dysgom am draddodiadau a diwylliannau eraill wrth i ni ddathlu Diwalli, sef Gŵyl y
Goleui Hindŵaidd. Coginiom fwydydd traddodiadol melys a sur a fwynhaodd y plant eu
blasu!
Yn ei gwersi gwyddoniaeth astudiom ddefnyddiau ac y enwedig rhai sy'n ynysu.
Cynhaliom arbrofion, dysgom am brofion teg a sut i ddarllen thermomedr yn gywir.
Perfformiwyd ein gwasanaeth Nadolig eleni yn Eglwys Llaneirwg, canom garolau ac
actio drama'r Geni – roeddem y teimlo yn Nadoligaidd iawn ar ôl gorffen!
Tymor y Gwanwyn 2011
Ein thema ni'r Tymor yma oedd 'Y Corff'. Astudiom organau'r corff a'u
swyddogaethau, ein synhwyrau, y sgerbwd a sut i'w gadw'n iach.
Yn ein gwersi Celf fe fodelom organau'r corff o glai a'u paentio. Edrychom yn agos ar
waith Cezanne ac fe efelychom ei waith bywyd llonydd y defnyddio pastelau.
Dysgom sut i gadw'r corff yn iach ac effaith ymarfer corff ar ein calonnau! Cawsom
hwyl yn ymlacio ac yna codi ein curiad calon a dysgom sut i ddangos ein canlyniadau
mewn graff.
Blasom nifer fawr o wahanol fwydydd cudd i brofi ein sgiliau arogli a blasu, rhai melys
a rhai sur iawn! Yna dewisom ein ffefrynnau a dylunio 'Smwddi' blasus gan feddwl am
enw iddo, ei edrychiad a'i flas! Mwynhaom y creu a'r blasu yn fawr iawn!
Gan ein bod wedi dysgu am y Celtiaid y tymor diwethaf astudiom y Rhufeiniaid y tymor
yma i gael deall pam y daethant i Brydain a sut fath o bobl yr oeddent. Creom 'Ffeil-o-
- 14 -

Ffeithiau' am y Rhufeiniaid gan ymchwilio ar y we ac mewn llyfrau am wybodaeth.
Dysgom sut i greu mosaic, sut yr oeddet yn byw a beth yw eu holion heddiw.
Daeth y Frigâd Dân atom i'r ysgol ac fe gawsom hwyl yn gwisgo eu dillad, edrych ar yr
injan ac wrth gwrs, dysgu am eu gwaith da.
Roedd yr ysgol yn llawn anifeiliaid a thrychfilod pa ymwelodd 'Zoo-Lab' â'r ysgol.
Roedd rhai ohonom yn ddewr iawn yn cyffwrdd a gafael ar lawer o greaduriaid egsotig!
Dathlom 'Ddiwrnod y Llyfr' y gwisgo fel ein hoff gymeriad ac fe gystadlom yn yr
Eisteddfod yn Ysgol Bro Eirwg ar Fawrth y 1af.
Gan ein bod yn ysgol newydd, cawsom y cyfle i ddylunio bathodyn ein hysgol! Daeth yr
artist Catherine Ashill i mewn i weithio gyda ni ar ein syniadau a helpu ni greu'r
bathodyn perffaith! Rydym yn falch iawn ohono!
Tymor yr Haf 2011
Dŵr oedd ein thema ni'r tymor yma – roedd hyn clymu yn wych gyda'r dosbarth y cael
gwersi nofio yng nghanolfan Hamdden Ddwyrain Caerdydd. Aethom bob bore am
bythefnos ac fe ddatblygom ein gallu i nofio wrth gael hwyl gyda ffrindiau!
Dysgom am y gylchred ddŵr ac fe lwyddom i greu model ohono oedd y gweithio yn y
dosbarth! Dysgom hefyd am bwysigrwydd dŵr, a'i swyddogaeth mewn seremonïau
crefyddol fel bedydd. Ymchwiliom i fywyd o dan y môr ac fe wnaethom ddarluniau
gwybodaeth yn llawn ffeithiau a datblygu ein sgiliau TGCh.
Yn ein gwersi iaith dysgom am chwedl Branwen a Bendigeidfran y cawr ac fe aethom
ati i gynllunio a chreu cychod i'w filwyr groesi'r môr yn ddiogel y ei gwersi Dylunio a
Thechnoleg. Astudiom waith y crochenwraig Morgen Hall yn ein gwersi Celf ac fe'n
sbardunwyd i greu darnau o grochenwaith crefftus a lliwgar o glai.
Cynhaliom 'Wythnos Iechyd a Ffitrwydd' lle treuliom yr amser yn cyfeiriannu, yn creu
pitsa iach gyda chynnyrch lleol, dysgu am ddiogelwch yn yr haul, dysgu am 'filltiroedd'
mae ei bwydydd yn teithio ac yn creu cwrs ymarfer i'n ffrindiau. Cawsom sesiwn
ddawnsio stryd a sesiwn ddrymio gyda Mr Eifion Davies.
Dysgom am bwysigrwydd ailgylchu ac fe aethom am dro o gwmpas yr ysgol yn codi
sbwriel. Aethom o gwmpas yr ardal leol yn cofnodi'r mannau gyda'r nifer mwyaf o
sbwriel, sylwom nad oedd digon o finiau yn yr ardal.
Aethom i 'Arddwest' Ysgol Bro Eirwg lle treuliom y bore yn blasu ffrwythau siocled,
mwytho anifeiliaid mawr a bach a mwynhau!
Daeth Mrs Agngela Hill atom dwywaith i'n cefnogi ni wrth i ni ddatblygu ein sgiliau
athronyddol. Rydym ni'n cynnal sesiynau 'Athroniaeth i Blant' yn y dosbarth lle rydym
yn cael cyfleoedd i drafod, gwrando a mynegi barn am syniadau mawr ein byd!
Cynhaliodd Blwyddyn 3 eu gwasanaeth dosbarth cyntaf i rieni yn arddangos ein doniau
a'r hyn a ddysgom drwy'r flwyddyn. Penderfynom berfformio chwedl 'Cantre’
Gwaelod', canu dwy gân roc cyfoes un yng Nghymraeg ac un yn Saesneg a sôn am
bwysigrwydd 'Lleihau, Ailgylchu, Ailddefnyddio' yn ein byd.
I gloi'r flwyddyn aethom ni ar drip i Sw Bryste! Cawsom ddiwrnod i'w gofio yn dysgu
am anifeiliaid y dŵr a'r anialwch!

Ysgol Pen y Pîl Year 3 Yearly Report 2010 – 2011
Autumn Term 2010
We began the year celebrating an important sporting event in our area, The Ryder
Cup. We learnt about the rules of Golf, some of the sport's heroes and we had the
opportunity to practise our putting skills in class!
The parents were invited to our Harvest Assembly where Year 3 sang 'Cofia Bob
Amser' and recited a poem from memory before listening to Mr Coleman's service.
Our theme this term was 'The Celts' and we studied every aspect of their life – from
their roots to their way of life, from their religion to the clothes they wore. We
enjoyed getting dressed up and role playing 'Romans and Celts', we also painted blue
war paint onto our faces! We spent time comparing our modern houses with the Iron
Age Roundhouses, and we also designed and constructed a Hillfort in our 'Design and
Technology' lessons. We learnt about the Celtic Leaders and we also held a scientific
experiment to discover what type of material would be suitable for a Celtic warrior
to wear! During our studies of the Celts we developed our team work skills when we
worked in groups to design and create a Celtic Sword and Shield from 'mod-rock' on
which we painted intricate Celtic patterns! The highlight of our learning on the Celts
was our visit to the Celtic Village in Sain Ffagan. We were lead around the village by a
real-life Celt who told us stories around the fire and showed us first hand how to
grind wheat!
In November we raised money for 'Children in Need' by wearing our own clothes to
school, we also played many games such as guess the number of beads in a jar and
name the teddy.
We celebrated Diwalli, the Hindi Festival of Light by reading the story of Rama and
Sita and cooking some traditional food – we enjoyed the tasting very much!
During our Science lessons we investigated materials, especially those that insulate.
We learnt what constitutes a fair test by conducting experiments to find which
materials were the best thermal insulators and how to read thermometers correctly.
Our Christmas Service was held in St Mellons Church; this year, we sang carols and
acted the Nativity which really put us in the Christmas spirit!
Spring Term 2011
Our theme this term was 'The Body'. We studied the body's organs and functions,
our senses, the skeleton and how to keep it all healthy.
In our Art lessons we modelled some organs out of clay and painted them – they
looked pretty gory! We also looked at Cezanne’s still life work, it was during this time
we emulated his work using pastels and developed our observational drawing skills.
We learnt how to keep our bodies healthy and the effect exercise has on our hearts.
We had great fun relaxing and increasing our heart rates, timing the beats per
minute and graphing the results!
We put our senses to the test when we smelt and tasted some hidden foods – some
sweet and some very sour! Then we chose our favourite fruits to design and create a
- 16 -

Smoothie. We created a recipe, thought of an appropriate name and designed the way
it looked!
As we studied the Celts last term we looked at the Romans this term to find out why
they came to Britain. We were interested in the conflict with the Celts, what kind of
people they were and what remains today! We did research in books and on the web
to create our own 'Fact File' on the Romans where we had complete control over the
content!
The Fire Brigade visited us in school and we had fun sitting in the engine, dressing up
in some of their clothes and learning how important their work is.
The school was also full of bugs and creatures when 'Zoo Lab' visited. Some of us
were very brave holding all sorts of exotic creatures!
We celebrated 'World Book Day' by dressing up as our favourite character from a
book and attending the school Eisteddfod at Ysgol Bro Eirwg.
As we are a new school we had the rare opportunity to design our school badge! The
artist Catherine Ashill came in to work with us to develop our ideas to create the
perfect badge! We are very proud of it!
Summer Term 2011
The theme for this term was 'Water' which tied in perfectly with the class having
swimming lessons at Eastern Leisure Centre. We went every morning for a fortnight
and we developed our skills while having fun with our friends!
We learnt about the 'Water Cycle' and we succeeded in recreating a working model in
the classroom. We learnt about the importance of water and its symbolism in religious
ceremonies such as Baptisms.
We studied under-water life by looking in books and online to create a large-scale
colourful information display. During our language lessons we studied 'Branwen' a
Welsh legend that involves water. She had a brother who was a giant and we planned,
designed, created and tested boats for all of his army to cross the Irish Sea safely.
We studied the potter Morgen Hall’s work in our Art lessons which inspired us to
create intricate, colourful pieces of pottery.
In our 'Heath and Fitness Week' we spent time orienteering, making a healthy pizza
from local produce, learnt about safety in the sun, and had a look at the miles our
food travels before we eat it! We had an excellent session of 'Street Dance', and
thoroughly enjoyed Mr Eifion Davies' visit to school to lead a drumming session with
us!
We learnt the importance of recycling during the summer term and went around the
school picking up litter with the litter pickers. We expanded our investigation to the
local area and we mapped and marked the areas with the most rubbish. 'Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle' was the inspiration and the message we chose for out first class
assembly to show off our talents to our parents. We also acted out the Welsh Legend
'Cantre'r Gwaelod' and sang two contemporary pop songs in each language.
We were invited to the Garden Fete at Ysgol Bro Eirwg where we spent the morning
eating chocolate-dipped fruit, playing games and petting all sorts of animals!
- 17 -

Mrs Angela Hill came in to our class many times over the summer term to support us
in developing our 'Philosophy for Children' skills. We conduct the sessions in our class
where we had the opportunity to discuss, listen and give our opinion on some big
issues or ideas.
To end our year we had a fantastic trip to Bristol Zoo! We had a day to remember
looking at a variety of water and dessert animals.

Asesu - Cadw cofnodion a chyflwyno gwybodaeth
Rydym ni ym Mhen y Pîl yn awyddus i’r asesu fod yn ddull effeithiol a gweithredol o
gofnodi cynnydd yn y Cwricwlwm Cenedlaethol a’r Fframwaith Sgiliau.
Yn ystod y flwyddyn ‘rydym wedi
� Parhau â’r arfer dda o grybwyll nod y wers ar ddechrau pob gwers a’i nodi
ar bob darn o waith
� Parhau i osod targedau personol i pob plentyn a gosod meini prawf
llwyddiant yn CA2
� Cyflwyno asesiadau ffocysedig penodol yn y pynciau craidd er mwyn asesu
lefel bob plentyn a thargedau cyfleoedd i wella
� Rhoi’r cyfle i’r disgyblion hunan asesu ac asesu cyfoedion
� Tracio cynnydd
� Asesu’r dysgu ac asesu ar gyfer dysgu
� Mynychu sesiynau HMS er mwyn cydsafoni gwaith gan wneud yn siwr bod
pob aelod o staff yn deall gofynion y Cwricwlwm Cenedlaethol ac wedi
cael profiad o lefelu gwaith plant
� Derbyn hyfforddiant ar gyfer gofynion Asesu Cwricwlwm 2008 a’r Cyfnod
Sylfaen
� Defnyddio nodiadau maes pynciol i dracio cynnydd unigolyn a darganfod y
ffordd ymlaen.
Rydym wedi cysoni a gwella ffurf y cynlluniau hir a byr dymor i gynnwys camau
asesu effeithol.
Mae gennym bolisi marcio a phlygellau nodiadau maes i gefnogi canlyniadau
asesu ar y pryd. Defnyddir yr holl wybodaeth er mwyn hyrwyddo dilyniant yn yr
addysgu a’r dysgu. Nodir hefyd unrhywddatblygiad amlwg mewn unrhyw
agwedd ar fywyd y plentyn yn y blygell hon. Rhaid cofio fod pob oedolyn sy’n
gweithio gyda’r disgyblion yn rhan o’r broses asesu.
Sicrhawyd bod yr adroddiadau ysgrifenedig i rieni yn cynnwys sylwadau am
gyflawniad, ynghyd a sylwadau ar ymdrech ag agwedd. Ategir gwybodaeth am
ganlyniadau aesesiadau ar ddiwedd CA1 gan sylwadau ysgrifenedig,
gwybodaeth genedlaethol gymharol a chyfarfodydd i helpu rhieni i ddeall
canlyniadau eu plentyn.
Rydym yn cynnal tair noson rieni y flwyddyn er mwyn rhoi cyfle i rieni i siarad ag
athro/athrawes dosbarth eu plentyn.
Rydym yn dadansoddi data canlyniadau, eu cymharu ag ysgolion eraill ac yn
Genedlaethol ac yna yn defnyddio canlyniadau’r asesiadau i nodi targedau clir
ar gyfer gwelliant ysgol.
Assessment - Record Keeping and Reporting
Our aim at Pen y Pîl is for assessment to be an effective and practical way of
ensuring and recording progress in the national curriculum and Skills Framework.
During the year we have:
� Continued with the good practice of noting the learning objectives at the
beginning of each lesson and recording them at the beginning of each
piece of work
- 21 -

� Continued to set individual targets for each child, agreeing new ones and
also setting success criteria at KS2
� Introduced specific focused assessments in the core subjects in order to
assess each child’s level and to target areas for improvement
� Provided opportunities for self-assessment and peer assessment
� Tracked progress
� Assessment of learning and assessment for learning
� Help INSET meetings at Bro Eirwg to ensure that all members of staff are
familiar with marking and levelling children’s work according to the levels of
the National Curriculum
� Continued training for the implementation of Assessment in the Curriculum
2008 and the Foundation Phase.
� During the year we have used subject led field notes to track individual
learning and decide on the way forward.
We have improved the format of our long and short term planning to include
opportunities for more effective assessment procedures and to ensure consistency
of approach.
To support assessment and record keeping we have a marking policy and keep
field notes for classroom observations. This information then informs the day to day
teaching and learning. We also note any significant developments in any aspect
of the pupil. Every adult involved with the pupils’ learning becomes involved with
the assessment process.
Links with parents are reinforced with a home-school link book that includes a
reading record.
Efforts are made to ensure that written reports to parents contain comments of
achievement in all national curriculum subjects as well as comments on efforts and
attitude. The reporting of the assessments at the end of KS1 had comparative
national information as supplementary information to parents and meetings were
arranged to help them understand their child’s attainment.
We hold three parents’ evenings per school year to give parents the opportunity to
speak to their child’s class teacher.
Our data is analysed and compared with data from other schools both locally and
nationally. The results of teacher assessments are used to identify clear targets for
school improvement.

Adnoddau:
Gwneir defnydd effeithiol o’r holl adnoddau sydd ar gael gan gynnwys adnoddau
dynol e.e. athrawon, cynorthwywyr dosbarth, cymorth allanol a chyfraniad rhieni a
ffrindiau er lles y disgyblion yn y cartref ac yn yr Ysgol.
Mae’r Ysgol hefyd yn gwneud defnydd da o adnoddau e.e. cynlluniau darllen a
rhaglenni e.e. Sioni’n Siarad, STARS a SAIL.
Polisi Anghenion Addysgol Arbennig:
Cafodd y Polisi AAA ei gyflwyno i’r Corff Llywodraethol ym mis Mawrth 2011. Ni
ystyrir llunio Polisi AAA newydd nes i’r Cod Ymarfer AAA Cymru (Ebroll 2002) gael ei
adolygy gan Lywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru.
Monitro’r Polisi:
Gwneir ymdrech arbennig ym Mhen y Pîl i sicrhau bod y ddarpariaeth
angenrheidiol ar gael ar gyfer unrhyw ddisgybl sydd ag AAA. Mae pawb sy’n
addysgu disgyblion ag AAA yn ymwybodol o’u hanghenion a’r pwysigrwydd o
ganfod, asesu a darparu ar gyfer disgyblion ag AAA sydd yn eu gofal.
Adlewyrchir llwyddiant polisi’r Ysgol yn sgîl y ffaith bod disgyblion sydd ag AAA
wedi’u cynnwys ym mywyd academaidd, diwylliannol a chymdeithasol yr Ysgol.
Mae disgyblion sydd ag AAA yn ymuno yng ngweithgareddau’r Ysgol e.e.
cyngherddau, eisteddfodau, mabolgampau.
- 24 -

Anelir i’r ddarpariaeth ar gyfer disgyblion sydd ag anghenion addysgol arbennig
gael ei fonitro gan y Corff Llywodraethu, y Pennaeth a’r Athrawes arweiniol yn
ystod y flwyddyn nesaf.
Rhieni/Gofalwyr:
Mae rhieni yn cyfrannu drwy gydweithio’n agos gyda staff yr Ysgol a rhannu
gwybodaeth yn gyson gyda’r Ysgol.

Matrix funding for general learning difficulties
Matrix funding for individual pupils
Total funding for the year 2011-12 = 11,000
Staffing arrangements:
Mrs Angharad Stevenson is the SEN Co-ordinator. She is in school two days a week
to support children on School Action and School Action Plus.
The LEA Achievement Service:
The school receives sessions from the Educational Psychologist, Mrs Emma
Humphries.
During the coming year, we hope to receive support from specialist teachers from
the Achievement Service.
This year the school has benefitted from the input of Mrs Julie Elliott, the school’s
Partnership Co-ordinator. She has worked closely with the Lead Teacher/ALN Coordinator
to look at ways of expanding the enriching the SEN provision.
The school works closely with the Health Service, Social Services and Voluntary
Services whenever necessary.
Resources:
Effective use is made of all available resources including human resources e.g.
Teachers, Teaching Assistants, external support and the contribution of parents
and friends for the benefit of the pupils at home and in school.
The school also makes good use of resources e.g. reading schemes and
programmes e.g. Sioni’n Siarad, STARS, and SAIL.

Special Educational Needs Policy:
The current SEN Policy was presented to the Governing Body in March 2011.
Monitoring the Policy:
A special effort is made in Ysgol Pen y Pîl to ensure that the necessary provision is
available for any child with SEN. Everyone who teaches pupils with SEN is aware of
their needs and the importance of making suitable provision of SEN pupils in their
care.
The success of the policy is reflected in the way that every pupil with SEN is
included in the academic, cultural and social life of the school. Pupils with SEN join
in school activities e.g. concerts, eisteddfodau and athletics.
Provision for pupils with SEN will be monitored effectively by the Governing Body,
the Headteacher and the SEN Co-ordinator.
Parents/Carers:
Parents contribute by working closely with the school staff and sharing information
regularly with the school.

This forum is an excellent opportunity to share good practice in the SEN field and to
share resources and work together for the benefit of pupils.
In conclusion:
The SEN policy in Ysgol Pen y Pîl is operated for the benefit of the pupils, by the
whole staff. The close work between the school, the pupils, the parents, the
governors, the volunteers and external agencies ensures success for the pupils with
SEN.

Gosod Targedau Ar Gyfer Gwelliant
Yn Nhachwedd 2011 fe gyflwynodd yr Ysgol gadarnhad o dargedau canlyniadau
asesu’r Cwricwlwm Cenedlaethol i’r A.A.Ll.
Setting Targets For Improvements
In November 2011, the school submitted a confirmation of national curriculum
targets to the LEA.
Disgyblaeth
Mae gennym bolisi Disgyblaeth fanwl iawn sydd yn cael ei ddiweddaru yng nghyd
â’n polisi Bwlian ym mis Gorffennaf 2012
Mae pwyslais mawr ar agweddau positif ein disgyblion er mwyn iddynt dyfu mewn
hunan barch a hyder. Rydym yn cynnal gwasanaethau Canu Clod tua 4 gwaith y
tymor. Fe gaiff pob aelod o’r staff y cyfle i roi sêr yn troi’n bwyntiau tîm ag fe gaiff
y tîm buddugol ei gyhoeddi yn y gwasanaeth clod. Mae’r gydnabyddiaeth i
ymddygiad clodwiw yn ystod y gwasanaeth arbennig yn boblogaidd iawn.
Ein nod fel Ysgol yw creu amgylchfyd ddiogel a hapus i bob plentyn.
Discipline
We have a very detailed Discipline policy reviewed together with our Bullying
policy in July 2012.
We believe in highlighting the positive attitudes and achievements of our pupils in
order for them to grow in confidence and self-worth. For this reason, we hold Merit
assemblies 4 times a term. Every member of staff has the opportunity to award
merit stars to children who demonstrate particular respect for the 5 Golden Rules.
These stars convert into team points. The winning team is announced in each merit
assembly. The exemplary attitudes and performances acknowledged at each
assembly prove very popular.
Our aim as a school is to create a happy and safe environment for every child.
Trefniadau o ran cwyno am y cwricwlm
Arrangements for making complaints about the curriculum
Gall rhieni gysylltu gyda’r pennaeth mewn gofal os oes ganddynt unrhw gwestiwn
neu bryderon am y cwricwlwm.
If parents have any queries or concerns regarding the curriculum, they may
contact the headteacher in charge at any time.
Cysylltu â’r Gymuned
Mae’r berthynas dda rhyngom â’r gymuned yn parhau. Mae’r plant yn ymweld â
lleoedd ac yn cyfarfod â phobl sydd o ddiddordeb ac sy’n berthnasol i’w gwaith
yn rheolaidd.
- 36 -

Trefnir ymweliadau addysgol gan yr athrawon i gefnogi’r cwricwlwm. Mae’r
Heddlu, Heddlu’r Gymuned, Swyddogion Diogelwch y Ffordd, Tîm Diogelwch Tân ,
Nyrs yr Ysgol a gweinidogion lleol yn ymweld â’r ysgol yn rheolaidd. Rydym yn
derbyn cefnogaeth oddiwrth amryw fusnesau lleol. Mae’r Ysgol yn gobeithio cael
defnydd da o’r Ganolfan Hamdden leol ac elwa o weithgareddau allgyrsiol
Menter Caerdydd trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg.
Rydym yn ffodus i gael cymorth gwirfoddolwraig, Mrs Lee, yn gyson i drefnu
gwerthu gwisg ysgol a gobeithiwn argymell rhieni a ffrindiau’r ysgol i wrando’n
gyson ar ddarllen.
O fewn y flwyddyn nesaf, gobeithiwn ddatblygu partneriaeth â cholegau, Menter
Caerdydd, yr Urdd a Dragon Sports. Rydym wedi cynhyrchu y Cylchlythyr cyntaf
ac yn argymell sefydlu Cymdeithas Rhieni er mwyn i rhieni a ffrindiau feithrin y
syniad o gymuned trwy fynychu achlysuron cymdeithasol i godi arian ar gyfer
adnoddau ychwanegol i’r Ysgol. Ers Chwefror 2012, sefydlwyd clwb carco ar ôl
ysgol ym Mhen y Pîl.
Community Links
The good relationships between the school and the community continue. The
children visit places of interest and meet people in the locality on a regular basis.
Educational visits are organised by the teachers to support the curriculum. The
Police, Community Police, Road Safety Officers, Fire Safety Team, School Nurse
and local ministers of religion visit the school on a regular basis. We benefit from
the support of various local businesses. The school hopes to make good use of the
local Leisure Centre amenities and benefit from extra curricular activities through
the medium of Welsh, provided by Menter Caerdydd.
We are fortunate to have the assistance of a volunteer, Mrs Lee on a regular basis
to manage the selling of school uniform and we hope to encourage friends and
parents of the school to assist with listening to readres.
Within the next year, Pen y Pîl hopes to develop partnerships with Universities,
Dragon Sport, yr Urdd and Menter Caerdydd. We have already produced the first
Newsletter and are encouraging a Parents’ Association in order to enable parents
and friends to foster a sense of community through attending a variety of social
events to raise money towards extra resources and provision for the school. From
February 2012, an after school club has been established at Pen y Pîl.
Ysgol a Rhieni
Mae croeso i rieni ddod i’r ysgol a gobeithio y llwyddir i gynnal y cysylltiadau cryf
rhwng y cartref a’r ysgol. Yr ydym yn parhau i annog cyswllt anffurfiol rhwng rhieni
a’r staff addysgu, ond os ydych yn dymuno sgwrs eithaf maith, a fyddai’n bosibl i
chi wneud apwyntiad er mwyn peidio amharu ar drefn yr ysgol.
Cynhelir ymgynghoriadau yn ystod tymhorau’r Hydref a’r Gwanwyn a
phrynhawn/noson agored yn ystod tymor yr Haf. Bu nifer dda o rieni ym mhob un
o’r cyfarfodydd hyn.
- 37 -

School and Parents
Parents are welcome in the school and it is hoped that the strong links between
home and school will be maintained. We continue to encourage informal contact
between parents and teaching staff, but if you should require a longish discussion
would you please make an appointment to avoid disrupting the smooth running of
the school.

2010/2011 90.8% 3.7% 5.5%
Mae nifer absenoldebau â chaniatâd yn gostwng - dylid ystyried roedd gan yr
ysgol ddisgybl â phroblemau dwys a oedd a chanran uchel o absenoldeb yn
ystod 2009/2010, ac nid yw’r awdurdod yn ystyried hyn fel unrhywbeth ond
absenoldebau â chaniatâd.
Mae gwyliau yn ystod y tymor yn chwyddo - nifer absenoldebau â chaniatâd ond
mae disgwyl i’r ysgol ganiatâu lan at 10 sesiwn i bob disgybl yn ystod y flwyddyn.
Bu tywydd llynedd yn rhannol gyfrifol am y chwydd yn y nifer o absenoldebau heb
ganiatâd eleni gyda rhieni ddim yn danfon eu plant i’r ysgol yn gyson yn ystod y
cyfnod yna, ac wedyn ddim yn esbonio’r absenoldeb.
Mae’r ysgol yn gweithio’n galed i godi lefel presenoldeb trwy fonitro disgyblion
sydd yn peri gofid, cysylltu â rhieni a, lle bo angen, yn cysylltu ag arbenigwyr yr
awdurdod.

The number of absences with permission is falling, but it should be borne in mind
that during 2009/2010 we had a pupil with severe needs who had a high
percentage of absences. The authority considers this as absence with permission.
Holidays during term time continue to boost the number of absences with
permission, but the school is obliged to consider up to 10 sessions as a permitted
absence.
Last winter’s weather is partly responsible for the increase in absences without
permission; parents often kept children at home and did not contact the school to
explain the absence. The school makes a great effort to monitor absences,
targeting frequent non-attenders, contacting parents and involving the local
authority where appropriate.
