Ar ran y Llywodraethwyr a’r staff, pleser o’r mwyaf yw cyflwyno Adroddiad Blynyddol Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw am y flwyddyn academaidd 2014-15. Mae hon eto yn flwyddyn lle gwelwyd gwelliant gyda dysgwyr yn ffynnu ac yn ennill canlyniadau clodwiw ar draws y cwricwlwm gan ddatblygu fel unigolion mewn awyrgylch ddiogel a chyfeillgar. Mae hefyd yn galonogol iawn i weld twf addysg Gymraeg yng Ngwent gyda sefydlu’r ysgol uwchradd newydd yng Nghasnewydd. Yr ydym wrth ein bodd mai Pennaeth yr ysgol newydd honno yw Rhian Wyn Dafydd sydd â chysylltiadau gyda Gwynllyw a Chwm Rhymni fydd yn fodd o barhau a chryfhau partneriaethau yn y dyfodol. Mae llwyddiant yr ysgol yn ddibynnol ar nifer o ffactorau; dysgwyr sydd â chymhelliant i ddysgu ac sy’n cymryd y cyfleoedd a gynnigir iddynt yn ddyddiol; athrawon a staff cynorthwyol sydd ag angerdd i weld dysgwyr yn gwireddu’u potensial ac arweinyddiaeth sy’n darparu awyrgylch lle gall dysgwyr a’r staff ffynnu. Hoffwn ddiolch i’r dysgwyr a’r staff am eu gwaith caled yn ystod y flwyddyn sydd wedi esgor ar y llwyddiant hwn. Cymerwch ychydig o amser i ddarllen yr adroddiad hwn gan ei fod yn adlewyrchu holl lwyddiannau’r rhai hynny sydd wedi gweithio mor galed a’r teuluoedd sydd wedi’u cefnogi yn ystod y flwyddyn.

On behalf of the Governors and Staff I have great pleasure in introducing the Annual Report for Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw for the academic year 2014-15. It is a year in which we have seen continued improvement, with pupils thriving, gaining success with excellent exam results across the curriculum and developing as individuals in a safe and friendly environment. It is also encouraging to see the growth in Welsh medium education in Gwent with the creation of the new secondary school in Newport. We are delighted that the new Head of that School is Rhian Wyn Dafydd, who has connections with both Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw and Cwm Rhymni, which can only serve to strengthen partnerships in the future. The success of a school is dependent on many factors. Pupils who want to learn and who take hold of the opportunities they are given to develop each day. Teachers and support staff who have a passion to see the pupils exceed expectations, and leadership that provides an environment where both pupils and staff thrive. I would like to thank the pupils and staff for their hard work during the year which has led to this success. Please take time to read this report as it reflects the success of all who have worked so hard and the families who have supported them during this last year.

Ers Mai 2013 mae trefniadau newydd mewn grym o ran cyfarfod blynyddol llawn y

llywodraethwyr / rhieni. Yn hytrach na bod yn rhaid i gorff llywodraethol gynnal cyfarfod

blynyddol gyda rhieni, mae gan rieni’r hawl i ofyn am gyfarfod gyda chorff llywodraethu ar

faterion sy’n destun pryder. Gall rhieni arfer yr hawl hon hyd at dair gwaith yn ystod

blwyddyn ysgol, cyn belled mai pwrpas y cyfarfodydd yw trafod materion sy’n ymwneud â’r

ysgol, nid cynnydd a chyflawniad disgyblion unigol na chwynion ynghylch aelod o staff neu

aelod o’r corff llywodraethu. Caiff cyfarfod ei drefnu gyda’r Llywodraethwyr drwy

ddefnyddio adran 94 o Ddeddf Safonau a Threfniadaeth Ysgolion (Cymru) 2013.

Since May 2013 new arrangements have been in force regarding the annual parent /

governors meeting. It is no longer obligatory for the governing body to hold an annual

meeting with parents but parents have the right to ask for a meeting with the Governing

body to discuss matters of concern to them, Parents may exercise this right up to three times

in any academic year, so long as the purpose of the meeting is to discuss matters of concern

to the school and not individual pupil achievement or grievances against staff members or

members of the Governing body. Such a meeting may be arranged with the Governing Body

by using section 94 of the School Standards and Arrangements Act (Wales) 2013.

Mae’r corff Llywodraethu yn adolygu a diweddaru polisïau fel rhan o gylch parhaol. Yn ystod

y flwyddyn 2014-15 adolygwyd a derbyniwyd y polisïau isod.

The Governing Body reviews and updates policies as part of a rolling programme. During the

academic year 2014 – 15 the following policies were reviewed and accepted.

Polisi Codi Tâl / Charging and Remissions Policy

Diogelwch Plant / Child Safeguarding

Polisi Iechyd a Diogelwch / Health and Safety Policy

Polisi Disgyblaeth / School Discipline Policy

Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw is committed to safeguard and promote the welfare of it’s pupils. Pupil welfare is paramount. We acknowledge that some young people may be very open to harm. We acknowledge that children who suffer abuse or neglect have difficulty developing self respect and to perceive the world in a positve way. Their behaviour can be challenging in school as a result. We are always considerate and sensitive to these issues and strive to support our pupils on all occasions. We ensure that our policies all promote child welfare.

Diogelwch plant / Child Safeguarding

2014 - 15

Mae'r Corff Llywodraethol, mewn cydweithrediad â'r Prifathro, wedi trefnu polisi a phatrwm o weithredu darpariaeth i blant a chanddynt Anghenion Addysgol Arbennig, ac yn ceisio'n frwd i sicrhau bod trefniadau staffio ac ariannu addas ar gael. Apwyntiodd yr ysgol aelod o'r staff dysgu â chyfrifoldeb penodol am gydlynu adnabyddiaeth a darpariaeth i ddisgyblion a chanddynt Anghenion Addysgol Arbennig. Mae'r Cydlynydd Anghenion Addysgol Arbennig (CAAA) yn cydgysylltu ag aelod o'r Corff Llywodraethol sydd â chyfrifoldeb am Anghenion Arbennig. Mae polisi'r ysgol am Anghenion Addysgol Arbennig yn canolbwyntio ar adnabyddiaeth gynnar a darpariaeth briodol ar gyfer disgyblion a chanddynt anghenion arbennig. Dilyna’r ysgol y dull tri cham o weithredu fel y dynodwyd yng Nghôd Ymarfer yr Adran Addysg 2004. Yn gryno, y camau yw :

1. Bod yr athro dosbarth yn adnabod Anghenion Addysgol Arbennig y plentyn, yn ymgynghori â'r Cydlynydd Anghenion Addysgol Arbennig ac yn cymryd y camau cychwynnol. Y CAAA yn casglu gwybodaeth ac yn creu proffil un tudalen.

2. Bod y dysgwr a'r CAAA yn cael eu cynnal gan arbenigwyr o'r tu allan i'r ysgol. 3. Bod yr AALL yn ystyried yr angen am asesiad statudol, ac yn ystyried yr angen am

ddatganiad am AAA ac, os yn briodol, i wneud datganiad a threfnu, monitro ac adolygu darpariaeth.

Nodwyd yn Adroddiad yr Arolygwyr, Mawrth 2014: “Mae’r ddarpariaeth ar gyfer disgyblion ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol yn effeithiol iawn. Mae’r prosesau pontio cynhwysfawr yn galluogi’r ysgol i adnabod anghenion disgyblion penodol yn gynnar iawn a pharatoi rhaglenni ymyrraeth priodol ar eu cyfer. Caiff cynlluniau addysgol unigol eu llunio ar y cyd â rhieni a disgyblion ac maent yn cynnwys nodau a thargedau sy’n cynnig canllawiau defnyddiol i gefnogi’r dysgu. Mae adolygiadau cynnydd rheolaidd yn cynnig cyfleoedd gwerthfawr i’r rhieni chwarae rhan lawn yn addysg eu plant. O ganlyniad, mae’r disgyblion sydd ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol yn cyflawni’n dda iawn.” The Governing Body has, in co-operation with the Head Teacher, determined a policy and approach for the provision for children with special educational needs, which does its best to ensure that appropriate staffing and funding arrangements are in place. The school has appointed a member of the teaching staff with a special responsibility for co-ordinating the identification of, and provision for pupils with special educational needs. The Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) liases with the member of the Governing Body with responsibility for Special Needs. The school’s policy for special needs focuses upon the need for early identification and suitable provision for pupils with special needs. The school follows the three staged approach as identified in the 2004 Department of Education Code of Practice. In short the stages are:

Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol / Additional Learning Needs

13

2014 - 15

1. Class teacher identifies a child’s SEN, consults with SENCO and takes initial action. SENCO gathers information and creates a one page profile. 2. Learners and SENCO are supported by specialists from outside the school. 3. The LEA considers the need for a statutory assessment. The LEA considers the need for a Statement of SEN and if appropriate makes a statement and arrange, monitor and review provision. The Registered Inspector noted in his report of March 2014: “Provision for pupils with additional learning needs is very effective. Comprehensive transition processes enable the school to identify specific pupils’ needs at a very early stage and prepare appropriate intervention programmes for them. Individual education plans are devised jointly with parents and pupils, and they include aims and targets that offer useful guidelines to support learning. Regular progress reviews offer valuable opportunities for parents to play a full part in their children’s education. As a result, pupils with additional learning needs achieve very well.”

Nodau / Aims:

Sicrhau bod cynifer ag sy’n bosib o’r disgyblion yn cymryd rhan, yn mwynhau a chael cyfle i ddatblygu eu sgiliau chwaraeon i’r lefel uchaf bosibl. Ensure that as many pupils as possible take part, enjoy and have an opportunity to develop their sport skills to the highest possible level.

Cynnig ystod eang o chwaraeon – ar gyfer unigolion a thimau.

Mae polisi Iechyd a Diogelwch yr ysgol wedi ei ddiweddaru a’i ddebyn gan y Corff

Llywodraethol ac yn adlewyrchu’u dyhead i sicrhau safle diogel i’r dysgwyr, staff ac

ymwelwyr i’r safle. Mae terfyn mawr y safle yn parhau yn gonsyrn i’r LLywodraethwyr ond

gwneir pob ymgais posib i gynnal a chadw’r terfynfeydd ble bo modd ac i’w diogelu. Mae’r

terfynnau hyn yn cael eu harchwilio fel rhan o’r archwiliad safle dyddiol.

The school’s Health and safety policy has been updated and accepted by the Governing Body

and reflects their desire to secure a safe site for pupils, staff and visitors to the site. The large

boundary area is still a cause for concern but every possible effort is made to ensure that

these boundaries are in good repair. These boundaries are inspected routinely.

Mae’r Corff Llywodraethol wedi derbyn Cynllun Cydraddoldeb Strategol yr ysgol ac ynddo

mae cynlluniau i sicrhau nad yw dysgwyr, staff neu ymwelwyr i’r safle sydd ag anableddau

yn cael eu trin yn llai ffafriol nag eraill. Mae cynllun hygyrchedd manwl gan yr ysgol sydd

wedi’i gymeradwyo gan y Corff Llywodraethol ac mae Gwynllyw wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau

cyfle cyfartal i bob dysgwr beth bynnag eu hanghenion.

The Governing Body has accepted the school’s Strategic Equality Plan which includes plans to

ensure that no pupil, staff member or visitor to the site who has a disability is treated less

favourably than others. The school has a detailed accessibility plan which has been approved

by the Governing body and Gwynllyw is committed to ensure equal opportunity to all

learners whatever their needs.

Mae toiledau wedi eu lleoli yn y prif adeilad, Bloc Glyndŵr, Bloc Llanofer ac yng nghanolfan Bowden. Mae yna doiledau ar gyfer yr anabl yn holl o adeiladau uchod. Mae’r cyfleusterau yma yn cael eu glanhau yn ddyddiol. Toilets are located in the main building, Glyndŵr Block, Llanofer Block and The Bowden Centre. Disabled toilet facilities are in all the above locations. These facilities are cleaned daily.
