Rydym wedi gweithio yn galed yr wythnos diwethaf i godi presenoldeb. Y tymor diwethaf roedd presenoldeb trwy’r ysgol gyfan yn 93%. Mae hyn yn gynnydd o 3% ar y flwyddyn flaenorol.
Gwyliau
Ni fyddwn yn caniatau gwyliau yn ystod y tymor oni bai bod gan deulu reswm arbennig. Oso es gennych reswm arbennig dors eich gwyliau mae angen cysylltu a’r ysgol er wmyn trafod a fedrwn ganiatau y gwyliau.
Dirwyon
Os bydd disgybl/disgyblion yn colli mwy na 5 diwrnod o ysgol heb ganiatad yna gall yr ysgol wneud cais am Hysbysiad Gosb Penodedig. Cyn cyrraedd y pwynt yma bydd yr ysgol yn gwneud pob ymdrech i ymgysylltu a theuluoedd a gwella presenoldeb heb ddilyn y llwybr yma os yn bosib.

Dear Parent / Guardian,
Attendance
Our whole school attendance has improved this year. Last term our average attendance for the school was 93%. This is a 3% increase on 2022 so a big thank you to all families for working with us to improve attendance.
Holidays
We are unable to authorise holidays during term time unless there are genuine exceptional circumstances. If there are exceptional circumstances for a holiday you are arranging please contact the school and we will treat each case individually and on its merits.
Fixed Penalty Notices
In some cases, it may be necessary for the school to consider a Fixed Penalty Notice if a child/children have more than 5 days of unauthorised absences.
This will only be used as a last resort and there will be many attempts by the school to work with parents to improve attendance before we get to this stage.
Rewarding good attendance
Our admin staff have developed a new reward system for good attendance. All pupils who have 100% attendance for a week are awarded a point. Over a term pupils gather attendance points and at the end of term they can use their points at our “Attendance Shop” to buy a reward. The more points pupils have collected over the term the more they can spend at the shop.
One Way System
We are having an increasing number of near misses in the mornings where parents dropping off drive straight down the hill towards the community centre and towards other cars that have dropped children off.
We kindly ask parents keep to a one way system of going down Shop Road and then back up the hill towards the main road.
Santes Dwynwen
On Thursday our pupils celebrated Diwrnod Santes Dwynwen. Santes Dwynwen is Wales’ patron saint for love – similar to St Valentine in the rest of the UK.
Children have learnt about Dwynwen’s life and have been busy creating art work and cards. If you would like to learn more about Dwynwen, this link has a short, child friendly film about her story;
Ysgol Gymraeg Gwynllyw have also started a radio station led by their pupils.
This week’s topic is Dwynwen. Their next programme will be about Welsh music ready for Dydd Miwsic Cymru on February 9th
School Eisteddfod
We will be holding our school eisteddfod on Friday, February 2nd. Pupils can come to school wearing their team colours on Friday.
