Trefnir boreau agored i'r plant yn ystod y mis Gorffennaf cyn iddynt gychwyn. I unrhyw un sy’n ymuno â’r ysgol ar gyfnodau gwahanol i hyn, gwahoddir y disgyblion a’u rhieni i’r ysgol, a chaiff y plant newydd gyfle i dreulio amser yn y dosbarth y bydd ef/hi yn ymuno ag o. Yn unol â’r gofynion statudol, mae holl ddisgyblion dan 7 oed yr ysgol yn rhan o’r Cyfnod Sylfaen. Mae’r pwyslais yn y Cyfnod Sylfaen ar ddysgu trwy brofiad uniongyrchol ac ar gynnig amrywiaeth gyfoethog o brofiadau perthnasol i’r disgyblion, ac ar yr un pryd, sicrhau fod pob plentyn yn datblygu i’w l/llawn potensial ym meysydd y Cyfnod Sylfaen a chaiff cynnydd pob plentyn ei fonitro’n ofalus. Pupils are admitted to the Nursery in the school year they attain their fourth birthday. Five sessions a week are offered from 8.50 - 11.30 a.m. daily. In the summer term before the Nursery children start, parents are invited to obtain information, to see the unit and to meet the members of staff and to discuss the arrangements for the coming year. The children are invited to Open mornings in the July before they commence Nursery. For any child who joins the school at other times, those pupils and their parents are invited into school and the child/ren will spend time in the class/es which they transfer into. In accordance with legislation, all under 7’s pupils are part of the Foundation Phase. The emphasis in the Foundation Phase is placed upon learning through experience and offering the pupils innovative experiences which are relevant to their needs and also ensuring that every child develops to his/her full potential in all the areas of the Foundation Phase. Each child’s progress is carefully monitored. Ysgol gynradd swyddogol Gymraeg yw Ysgol Glanrafon (ar gyfer plant o 3 i 11 oed). Y Gymraeg yw'r unig gyfrwng addysgu yng nghyfnod allweddol 1 a’r Blynyddoedd Cynnar. Cyflwynir y Saesneg fel pwnc ar ôl i'r disgyblion drosglwyddo i'r adran iau (ar ddechrau Cyfnod Allweddol 2). Mae disgyblion yr ysgol hon yn dilyn yr un cwricwlwm Saesneg ag a wna disgyblion mewn ysgolion cyfrwng Saesneg. Caiff y plant eu hasesu trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg ymhob pwnc ar wahan i’r Saesneg. Mae hon yn ysgol anenwadol. Glanrafon is a designated Welsh primary school (for 3 to 11 year old pupils). Welsh is the only medium of instruction and communication in key Stage 1 and the Early Years. English is introduced as a subject when the pupils transfer to the Junior department (at the beginning of key Stage 2). Pupils in this school study the same English curriculum as any English medium schools. Our pupils are assessed through the medium of Welsh in every subject apart from English. This is a non-denominational school

The school is not associated to an individual denomination, but there is a good relationship between the school and all places of worship within the locality.

GOFAL BUGEILIOL A DISGYBLAETH/CARE AND SCHOOL DISCIPLINE Y mae yn yr ysgol reolaeth a disgyblaeth lwyr ar yr holl ddisgyblion. Caiff y plant eu cyflwyno ar unwaith i'r chwe rheol y mae disgwyl iddynt eu cadw sef y canlynol:- 1. Bod yn dyner a charedig heb frifo neb. 2. Gwrando a pheidio torri ar draws. 3. Bod yn onest, a dim rhegi. 4. Cerdded yn drefnus heb ruthro. 5. Gweithio’n galed a pheidio gwastraffu amser. 6. Dangos parch at yr ysgol a’i hamgylchfyd. The school has full discipline over all the pupils. The children are introduced to the six main rules that they are expected to adhere to which are:- 1. Be kind and gentle without hurting any-one. 2. Listen and do not interrupt. 3. Be honest and no swearing. 4. Walk in an orderly fashion without rushing. 5. Work hard without wasting time. 6. Show respect towards the school and its environment.

POLISI DISGYBLAETH/DISCIPLINE POLICY

Mae staff yr ysgol yn amcannu i:- (i) ddatblygu yn y plant, hunan ddisgyblaeth a pharodrwydd i dderbyn cyfrifoldeb am eu gweithgareddau (ii) greu awyrgylch sy'n denu dysgu effeithiol ac sy'n annog parch rhwng unigolion. Credwn mai'r ffordd orau i gyflawni yr amcanion hyn yw trwy greu awyrgylch hapus lle mae plant yn abl i wneud eu gorau oddi mewn a thu allan i'r dosbarth a lle maent yn cael eu hannog i gyrraedd eu potensial. Pwysleisiwn bwysigrwydd yr agwedd bositif tuag at ymddygiad y plentyn a chaiff ymddygiad da ei wobrwyo trwy dderbyn Amser Aur yn llawn ar ddiwedd yr wythnos. Amser Aur yw’r amser a ddynodir i’r plant ar gyfer gweithgareddau pleserus. Os nad yw plentyn wedi llwydo i gadw at y rheolau bydd yn colli cyfran o’r amser hwnnw Caiff y polisi disgyblaeth ei fonitro a'i adolygu'n gyson. Members of staff endeavour to:- 1. Encourage self-discipline and a readiness in the children to accept responsibility for their actions. 2. Create an atmosphere which lends itself to good learning and which encourages individuals to respect each other. These aims will only be achieved in a happy environment where children are able to give of their best inside and outside the classroom and where they are encouraged to reach their full potential. Emphasis is placed on a positive approach towards discipline and good behaviour is rewarded with full Golden Time at the end of the week. Golden Time is when the children do pleasureable activities. If a child has not conformed with the rules he/she is deprived of the time in full. The discipline policy is regularly monitored.

CINIO YSGOL/SCHOOL DINNERS Darperir cinio yn yr ysgol. Bwydydd ffres yn unig a ddarperir. Rhowch wybod yn ysgrifenedig i'r gogyddes os yw eich plentyn ar ddeiet neu fwyd arbennig.Mae'n bosibl i'ch plentyn ddod â brechdanau a diod yn lle cael cinio ysgol.

FFRINDIAU GLANRAFON./FRIENDS OF GLANRAFON Ceir Cymdeithas weithgar a llwyddiannus yn gysylltiedig â'r ysgol. Prif amcanion y gymdeithas hon yw annog cydweithrediad rhwng yr ysgol a'r rhieni, rhoi cyfle i'r rhieni ddod i adnabod ei gilydd ac i godi arian i brynu adnoddau ychwanegol i'r ysgol.

Mae croeso i bob un rhiant estyn cymorth i'r gymdeithas a gobeithiwn y byddwch yn barod i ymuno yn yr holl weithgareddau. Ceir cysylltiad arbennig o dda rhwng yr ysgol a’r cartref a sicrheir polisi o ddrws agored gan yr ysgol lle y mae’r rhieni yn teimlo’n gartrefol a chroesawgar. Ar y dudalen nesaf, gwelir copi o’n cytundeb Cartref/Ysgol a arwyddir gan y rhieni. We have a busy and successful association. The main aim is to encourage close co-operation between the school and the parents and to raise money to purchase additional equipment for the school. Various events are arranged during the year, e.g. fairs, shopping trips, varied social events etc. Every parent is welcomed to help with the association and we hope that you will be prepared to take an active part in its activities. There is a very good partnership between the school and home and we have an open door policy where parents feel homely and welcomed. On the next page is a copy of the Home/School Agreement which is signed by the parents.

Os yw unrhyw weithgaredd yn golygu aros dros nos e.e. Caerdydd, Glanllyn neu Langrannog, gall plant o deuluoedd sy'n derbyn atodiad incwm neu gredyd teulu hawlio ad-daliad ar y costau hyn.

In order to organise activities and educational visits that enrichen the work in class and allow them to go ahead, a contribution towards the cost is kindly asked for from the parents. No child will be excluded from such activities if the contribution has not been paid in full. If any activity means staying overnight e.g. Cardiff, Glanllyn or Llangrannog the children from families who obtain income support or family credit are entitled to be reimbursed for such costs. The appropriate form to be filled is available in school which will ensure that the money will be reimbursed to school who has paid the amount on behalf of the child.

SALWCH/ILLNESS Mawr obeithir y bydd y disgyblion oll yn iach yn ystod eu cyfnod yn yr ysgol. Pe na bai eich plentyn yn teimlo'n dda yn y bore cyn amser dod i'r ysgol, gofynnwn yn garedig i chi beidio a'i anfon ef/hi i'r ysgol y diwrnod hwnnw er mwyn osgoi unrhyw anesmwythyd i'r plentyn ac hefyd osgoi ymledu'r germau i'r disgyblion eraill. Gofynnir i chi am rifau ffôn cysylltiol ar ffurflen wybodaeth yn rheolaidd. Rhowch wybod i ni ar unwaith os oes unrhyw newid yn eich rhifau ffôn. It is hoped that every child will enjoy good health during their time at the school. If at any time your child feels unwell in the morning before school time, you are kindly asked not to send him/her to school on that day in order to avoid any discomfort for the child and also to avoid spreading the germs to other pupils.

MEDDYGINIAETH A THABLEDI/MEDICINES AND TABLETS Nid ydym yn annog neb i ddod â thabledi a meddyginiaeth i'r ysgol er diogelwch i bawb. Gwerthfawrogem i'r rhieni eu hunain eu rhoddi i'r plant gartref neu ddod i’r ysgol i’w weinyddu. Mewn sefyllfaoedd unigryw yn unig, dylai rhieni gysylltu â'r pennaeth i drafod yr amgylchiadau ac i lenwi ffurflen briodol i arwyddo i roi caniatad ysgrifenedig i weini'r feddyginiaeth. We do not encourage medicines and tablets to be brought into school for safety reasons. It would be preferable for parents to administer the prescribed medicine personally at home or in school. In exceptional cases only, parents should contact the headteacher in order to discuss the situation and to fill in a form to give written permission for the administering of the medication.

Y GWASANAETH IECHYD MEWN YSGOLION CYNRADD – SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICE IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

Mae gan Sir y Fflint Wasanaeth Iechyd Ysgolion cynhwysfawr sy'n cael ei ddarparu gan Ymddirieddolaeth Gwasanaeth Iechyd, Gogledd Ddwyrain Cymru. Nôd y gwasanaeth hwn yw hybu iechyd eich plentyn yn yr ystyr ehangaf a chanfod unrhyw broblemau iechyd a all ddatblygu. Y cysylltiad cynharaf gyda'r Gwasanaeth Iechyd Ysgolion yw drwy brif nyrs yr ysgol a/ neu'r meddyg ysgol. Mae'r ddau wedi arbenigo mewn meddygaeth addysgol, paediatreg y gymuned ac iechyd plant. Prif nyrs ysgol Gymraeg Glanrafon, Yr Wyddgrug yw Mrs Ceri Slawson, sydd wedi’i lleoli yn y clinig ym Mwcle. Gall yr arbenigwyr hyn gysylltu'n uniongyrchol gyda holl ardaloedd eraill Gwasanethau Iechyd Sir y Fflint ac asiantaethau eraill os bydd galw am hynny. Os bydd eich plentyn newydd ddechrau'r ysgol byddwch chi'n cael taflen yn amlinellu ystod llawn a chyfranogiad y Gwasaneth Iechyd Ysgolion. Mae'r taflenni hyn ar gael i blant hŷn gan y brif nyrs os gofynnwch amdanynt.

19

Ni fydd eich plentyn yn cael ei archwilio/harchwilio gan y meddyg ysgol heb eich caniatad, heblaw mewn argyfwng meddygol. Mae pob cyfweliad iechyd yn gwbwl gyfrinachol a gofynnir am eich caniatad cyn trafod unrhyw fater gyda staff addysgu'r ysgol. Yn amlwg, byddai'n fuddiol o safbwynt eich plentyn bod y staff addysgu'n ymwybodol o unrhyw gyflwr meddygol a all effeithio ar ei gynnydd/chynnydd yn yr ystafell ddosbarth. Gwerthfawrogir yn fawr bresenoldeb y rhieni mewn cyfweliadau iechyd yn yr ysgol. Byddwch chi'n derbyn gwahoddiad ysgrifenedig a ffurflen ganiatad i chi ei harwyddo ymlaen llaw. Pan fydd eich plentyn yn y dosbarth Derbyn bydd y brif nyrs ysgol yn gwirio golwg, clyw, taldra a phwysau eich plentyn.Yn mlwyddyn 2, byddan nhw'n gwirio golwg, taldra a phwysau eich plentyn eto. Ar ôl hynny, bydd y brif nyrs ysgol yn ymweld yn rheolaidd i wirio iechyd cyffredinol y plant, i hybu ffordd o fyw iach ac i gysylltu â staff yr ysgol ynglyn ag unrhyw broblemau iechyd. Os bydd gennych unrhyw bryderon ynglyn ag unrhyw un o'ch plant, gallwch gysylltu â phrif nyrs yr ysgol ar unrhyw adeg, i'w trafod. Flintshire has a comprehensive School Health Service provided by the North East Wales NHS Trust. The aim of this service is to promote the health of your child in the widest sense and to identify any health problems that may develop. The primary contact with the School Health Service is through the School Sister and/or the School Doctor, both of whom have specialised training in educational medicine, community paediatrics and child health. The School Sister for Ysgol Gymraeg Glanrafon, Mold is Mrs Ceri Slawson, who is based at the Buckley clinic. These specialists are able to liaise directly with all other areas of Flintshire Health Services and other agencies should the need arise. If your child is a school entrant you will be given a leaflet outlining the full scope and involvement of the School Health Service. These leaflets are available for older children from the School nurse on request. Your child will not be examined by the School Doctor without your permission, except in a medical emergency. All health interviews are strictly confidential and your consent will be sought before discussing any issue with the school teaching staff. Obviously, it would be in your child's best interest for the teaching staff to be aware of any medical condition that may affect his/her progress in the classroom.

20

Parents attendance at school health interviews is highly valued, especially at primary age. You will receive, in advance, a written invitation and a consent form for you to sign. When your child is in reception the School nurse will check his/her vision, hearing and growth. In Year 2, your child's vision, height and weight will again be checked. Thereafter, the school nurse visits regularly to check the children's general health problems, to promote healthy lifestyles and to liaise with school staff regarding any health problems. If you have any concerns with any of your children, do please feel free to approach the school nurse to discuss them.

EIDDO PERSONOL/PERSONAL ITEMS Gofynnir yn garedig i chi sicrhau na fydd eich plentyn yn dod â mân eitemau personol (e.e. bathodynnau, gemwaith, teganau a.y.y.b.) efo nhw i'r ysgol rhag ofn iddynt fynd ar goll. Gall colli mân eitemau felly beri cryn ddiflastod i blant, ac felly, byddem yn gwerthfawrogi eich cyd-weithrediad yn hyn o beth yn fawr iawn. You are kindly asked to ensure that your child does not bring small personal items (e.g. badges, jewellery, toys etc) with them to school in case they are mislaid and lost. Losing such items can cause a great deal of distress to children, and therefore, we would greatly appreciate your co-operation in this matter.

Y CWRICWLWM - THE CURRICULUM Trefniadaeth- Organisation Bydd blynyddoedd dysgu o fewn yr ysgol yn cyd-weithio'n glos ac agos wrth gynllunio a pharatoi gwaith ar gyfer y dosbarthiadau fel a ganlyn:- Uned y Blynyddoedd Cynnar – Meithrin a Derbyn. Uned dan 7 – Blwyddyn 1 a 2 Blwyddyn 3 a 4

Blwyddyn 5 a 6 Yn ogystal â'r cyfarfodydd athrawon llawn, cynhelir cyfarfodydd adrannol hefyd yn gyson gydag athrawon y Cyfnod Sylfaen a Chyfnod Allweddol 2 ar wahan. Wrth gyflwyno'r cwricwlwm o fewn y dosbarth, defnyddir cyfuniad o ddulliau sef dosbarth cyfan; gwaith grŵp; gwaith pâr ac unigol. Cyflwynir llawer o'r gwaith a wneir yn y dosbarth o fewn thema dymhorol (Bl. 5 a 6) neu hanner dymhorol (Bl.3 a 4; 1 a 2 ac Uned y Blynyddoedd Cynnar). Pan nad yw'r gwaith yn ffitio i'r thema, bydd pynciau megis Mathemateg a Gwyddoniaeth yn sefyll ar eu pennau eu hunain. The learning groups within the school liaise very closely together when planning and preparing for work in the classroom. The learning years are as follows:- Early Years Unit – Nursery and Reception. Under 7 Unit – Years 1and 2 Years 3 and 4 Years 5 and 6 As well as the full staff meetings, departmental meetings are also held regularly, with the Foundation Phase staff getting together as well as Key Stage 2 teachers getting together.

21

When presenting the curriculum in the classroom a combination of teaching methods are used such as - whole class; group work; pair work and individual. Much of the work done in class is connected to the termly (Years 5 and 6) or half-termly (Yrs.3 and 4; 1 and 2; Early Years Unit) topics introduced. When the work does not fit in naturally with the theme, work in such subjects as Mathematics or Science stands on its own. Yn y Cyfnod Sylfaen (4-7 oed) gosodir prif sylfeini'r profiadau dysgu. Bydd pwyslais ar ddatblygu'r sgiliau hanfodol, sef cyfathrebu, llythrennedd a rhifedd. Trwy ddarparu cwricwlwm cyfoethog ac eang gan ddefnyddio ymagwedd integredig, anelwn at ddatblygu diddordebau'r plant tra'n cydnabod hefyd lefel eu haeddfedrwydd. Mae'r blynyddoedd hyn yn bwysig, pan fydd plant yn dysgu sut i arsylwi, gwrando, ymateb a datblygu, nid yn unig fel unigolion ond hefyd fel aelodau gofalgar o'n cymuned. Mae’r Cyfnod Sylfaen yn statudol ar gyfer disgyblion y Meithrin o Fedi 2008. Yng Nghyfnod Allweddol 2 (8-11 oed) bydd sgiliau hanfodol megis cyfathrebu, llythrennedd a rhifedd yn parhau i fod yn ganolbwynt i'n cwricwlwm. Ond wrth i'w dealltwriaeth o'r disgyblaethau gwahanol ddatblygu, caiff mwy o amser ei roi i wyddoniaeth a'r pynciau sylfaenol eraill. Bydd y cwricwlwm yn parhau i gael ei gynnal o fewn thema integredig lle y bo hynny'n ystyrlon ac yn berthnasol. Caiff y plant eu hannog i ddatblygu hunan-hyder, annibyniaeth wrth ddysgu a sgiliau uwch mewn amrywiaeth o sefyllfaeodd. In the Foundation Phase (4-7 year olds) the main building blocks of learning experiences are laid. The emphasis will be on developing essential skills of communication, literacy and numeracy. By providing a broad rich curriculum using an integrated approach, we aim to develop the children's interests whilst also recognizing their level of maturity. These are important years where children learn how to observe, listen, respond and develop not only as individuals but also as caring members of our community. The Foundation Phase is statutary for Nursery pupils from September 2008. At Key Stage 2 (8-11 years old) the essential skills of communication, literacy and numeracy will still be the central focus of our curriculum. But as their understanding of the different disciplines increases, more time will be given to science and the foundation subjects. The curriculum will still take place within an integrated theme where it is meaningful and relevant. The children will be encouraged to develop self-confidence, independence in learning and higher order skills in a range of situations. ` Yng nghorff y cynlluniau gwaith a weithredir, rhoddir lle priodol i'r canlynol hefyd : - Datblygu meddwl – cynllunio, datblygu a myfyrio. Datblygu cyfathrebu – llafaredd, darllen, ysgrifennu a chyfathrebu ehangach. Datblygu TGCh – darganfod, datblygu, creu a chyflwyno gwybodaeth a syniadau. Datblygu rhif – defnyddio gwybodaeth fathemategol, cyfrifo, dehongli a chyflwyno casgliadau. Cwricwlwm Cymreig. Addysg bersonol a chymdeithasol. Mae Strategaethau Llythrennedd a Rhifedd ar draws y cwricwlwm i’w hystyried hefyd i’r dyfodol. Incorporated in the schemes of work, appropriate emphasis is given to the following also :- Developing thinking – planning, developing and reflecting. Developing communication – oracy, reading, writing and wider communication.

ADDYSG GREFYDDOL - RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Y mae Addysg Grefyddol yn rhan o broses addysg eang sy'n helpu plant a phobl ifanc i ddeall y byd, ac i'w galluogi i addasu eu hunain iddo. Er mwyn cyrraedd yr amcan dylai Addysg Grefyddol alluogi pob plentyn i ennill:- - gwybodaeth a dealltwriaeth o gredoau ac ymarferion crefyddol; - gwerthfawrogiad o’r perspectif crefyddol ar gwestiynau mawr bywyd ynghyd a sefyllfaoedd moesol a phynciau cyfoes; - y cyfle i ffurfio barn a datblygu credoau, gwerthoedd a ffordd o fyw fydd yn rhoi dealltwriaeth a phwrpas i fywyd. Mae gan rieni yr hawl i wneud cais i'w plentyn/plant gael eu heithrio o'r gwersi os yw eu mynychu yn groes i'w crêd, ond rhaid gwneud hynny’n ffurfiol i’r pennaeth trwy ddatganiad ysgrifenedig. Gweler hefyd drefniant ein gwasanaethau crefyddol. Religious Education is part of a process to help children and young people to understand the world and enable them to adapt to its various needs. In order to achieve this aim Religious Education should enable each child to:- - gather information and understanding of various religious beliefs and practices,

appreciate the religious perspective when discussing contemporary and moral issues. - develop the ability to form an opinion and be aware of the qualities required to make

life purposeful. Parents have the right to have their children excused from these lessons if it goes against their beliefs, but this should be done formally to the headteacher in a written statement. See also our religious assemblies plan.

ADDYSG RHYW A PHERTHNASOEDD / SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS POLICY

Cyflwynir Addysg Rhyw i'r plant yng nghyd-destun y Cwricwlwm Cenedlaethol, a gwneir defnydd o raglen SENSE. Mae i Addysg Bersonol a Chymdeithasol le amlwg yn hyn hefyd. Dysgant am yr 'hunan' yn gyffredinol - sut mae'r corff yn gweithio, y synhwyrau, y teimladau, pwysigrwydd parch at yr hunan ac at eraill. Pan gyflwynir yr agweddau hyn rhoddir pwyslais ar bwysigrwydd gwerthoedd moesol a chariad. Mae copi o bolisi Addysg Rhyw a Pherthnasoedd ar gael i’w astudio yn yr ysgol. Sex education is linked with requirements within the National Curriculu, and use is made of the SENSE program. Personal and Social Education has a prominent part to play also. The children learn about 'oneself' - how the body functions, the senses, feelings and respect for oneself and others. When these aspects are introduced to the children great emphasis is placed on the importance of moral values and love. The school’s Sex and Relationships Policy is available in school.

DEFNYDD O'R GYMRAEG-USE OF THE WELSH LANGUAGE Y Gymraeg yw prif gyfrwng yr addysgu yn Ysgol Glanrafon a disgwylir i bob plentyn fod yn gwbl ddwyieithog erbyn y bydd ef/hi yn gadael yr ysgol. Ymfalchwn wrth i'r plant ddangos parch at yr iaith Gymraeg a dangos balchder yn eu hetifeddiaeth Gymreig.

33

Welsh is the main medium of education at Ysgol Glanrafon – each child is expected to be bilingual by the time he/she leaves the school. We are proud of the fact that the children show pride in the Welsh language and their heritage.

CYFLE CYFARTAL - EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES Ymfalchïwn yn y ffaith fod pob plentyn ac oedolyn yn cael eu trin yn gyfartal yn yr ysgol hon ac na wahanieithir ar unrhyw sail o gwbl mewn unrhyw weithgaredd o fewn yr ysgol. Os yw anabledd plentyn yn ddigon dwys i beri ei fod ef/hi angen cymorth ychwanegol o fewn y dosbarth, caiff hynny ei sicrhau. Lleolir uned Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol ar gyfer ysgolion cynradd Cymraeg y sir o fewn yr ysgol hon. Y pennaeth yw’r person dynodedig ar gyfer hybu datblygiad addysgiadol unrhyw blentyn mewn gofal. Mae Cynllun Mynediad wedi’i baratoi gan yr ysgol. Mae man penodol ar gyfer parcio i’r anabl ar fuarth yr ysgol. Mae tri mynediad i’r ysgol ar gyer yr anabl ynghyd â dau doiled priodol. Sicrheir na chaif unrhyw blentyn ag anabledd o unrhyw fath, ei drin yn wahanol i unrhyw blentyn arall o fewn yr ysgol. We take pride in the fact that every child and adult are dealt with equally within this school, and that no discrimination is made on any issue in the school. If a child's disabilities is such that he/she requires additional help and attention within the class, this is ensured. A Special educational needs unit which serves the Welsh medium primary schools within the county, is located within our school. The head teacher is the designated person responsible for promoting the educational achievement of looked after children. An accessibility plan has been prepared by the school. A designated disabled parking space has been established on the school yard. There are three entrances and two appropriate toilets for the disabled. It is ensured that any child with any form of disability is not treated differently in any way from any other child within the school.

ANGHENION DYSGU YCHWANEGOL- ADDITIONAL NEEDS Gan nad yw pob plentyn yn datblygu gyda’r un cyflymder neu'n cyrraedd y lefel a ddisgwylir, mae gennym drefn i adnabod problemau/anawsterau dysgu. Gallwn yna gynnig hyfforddiant ychwanegol, arbenigol i gynorthwyo'r plentyn. Yn arferol, fe wneir hyn mor ddi-lol â phosibl trwy dynnu'r plentyn o'r dosbarth am gyfnod(au) efo'r athrawes Anghenion Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol mewn awyrgylch briodol a chroesawus. Bydd yr athrawes hithau o bryd i’w gilydd yn gweithio o fewn y dosbarthiadau. Mrs Sheila Hughes yw’r person dynodedig ar gyfer ADY o fewn y Corff Llywodraethol.

Mae copi cyflawn o'r polisi Anghenion Addysgol Arbennig. ar gael yn yr ysgol a phe dymunech ei weld, mae croeso i chi ddod i'w drafod yn yr ysgol. As some children have learning difficulties and do not develop at the same speed as others in their education by not achieving the expected level, we have a way of recognising any specific learning difficulties. We are able to provide specialist tuition, which, hopefully, will help them overcome their problems and hasten their development. This is done in an unobtrusive manner by withdrawing the children in small groups from the class so that they receive the undivided attention of the Special Needs teacher. The teacher also works occasionally within the class. Mrs Sheila Hughes is the designated representative for Additional Needs on behalf of the Governing Body. A full copy of the Special Educational Needs policy is available in school, and if you would like to see it, you are welcome to come to school to discuss it. Amcanion y Polisi – Aims of the policy 1. Bod yn ymwybodol y gall anawsterau dysgu ddelio â ffactorau meddyliol,

corfforol, emosiynol neu gymdeithasol.Learning difficulties can deal with mental, physical, emotional and social factors.

2. Adnabyddiaeth gynnar o bob plentyn sydd ag anawsterau dysgu.An early recognition of any child with learning difficulties.

3. Rhoi'r mynediad ehangaf posib i'r plentyn ag A.A.A. i waith y cwricwlwm cenedlaethol.Give the child with special educational needs the broadest outlook to the National curriculum.

4. Sicrhau bod y ddarpariaeth yn ateb gofynion y plentyn.Ensure that the provision meets the needs of the child.

5. Gweithio mewn partneriaeth â rhieni. Work in partnership with parents. 6. Bod yn ymwybodol o ddymuniadau a theimladau'r plentyn.Be aware of the child's

wishes and feelings. 7. Cydweithio â'r Corff Llywodraethol yn enwedig y llywodraethwr sydd â

chyfrifoldeb am A.A. Work with the Governing Body especially the governor responsible for Additional needs.

8. Cadw cysylltiad agos â'r A.A.LL. ac asiantaethau eraill.Keep in close connection with the L.E.A. and other agencies.

9. Cadw cofrestr o'r plant sydd wedi'u hadnabod.Keep a register of the children who have been recognised.

Os oes disgyblion yn derbyn sesiynau o hyfforddiant oddi wrth yr athrawes Anghenion Arbennig, cynhelir cyfarfodydd yn rheolaidd gyda'r rhieni i drafod datblygiad y plant hynny, a chynhelir arolwg ddwywaith y flwyddyn. If any children are receiving extra tuition from the Special Needs teacher, meetings are held regularly to monitor and discuss the children's progress and development, and reviews are carried out twice a year.

TREFN CODI CŴYN / COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE Pan fo angen codi cŵyn ynglyn ag unrhyw agwedd o waith/bywyd yr ysgol, dylid gwneud hynny trwy gysylltu â'r Pennaeth. naill ai’n llafar neu’n ysgrifenedig.

Should you feel that your case has not been statisfactorily resolved the matter is referred to the Governing Body’s Complaints sub-committee. A full copy of the school’s Complaints Procedures is available in school if anyone requires a copy.

DIOGELWCH - SECURITY MEASURES Mae'r system ddiogelwch effeithiol mewn grym tra bo'r disgyblion a'r staff tu mewn i'r adeilad, a chaiff y digsyblion eu harolygu gan oedolion bob tro y byddant y tu allan i'r adeilad. Cynhelir ymarferion tân yn dymhorol. Ystyrir diogelwch y plant a’r oedolion fel un o brif flaenoriaethau’r ysgol. Y pennaeth neu ei chynrychiolydd, yn ei habsenoldeb, yw’r person dynodedig ar gyfer Amddiffyn Plant. The security system functions while the pupils and staff are inside the building, and the pupils are supervised by an adult whenever they are outside the building. Regular fire drills are held. The children’s and adults’ safety is regarded as one of the school’s main priorities. The head teacher, or her representative, in her absence, is the designated person for Child Protection.

The aim is that every child is able to swim at least 25m. by the time he/she moves on to secondary education.

GWEITHGAREDDAU ALL-GWRICWLAIDD – EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES.

Rhoddir cryn bwyslais ar sicrhau bod ein disgyblion oll, yn ddiwahan, yn cael profiad o amrywiaeth eang o weithgareddau all-gyrsiol megis ymweliadau addysgol yn lleol a chenedlaethol, ymwelwyr â’r ysgol a phrofiadau cyfoethog ac amrywiol tu fewn a thu allan i furiau’r ysgol. Ni waherddir unrhyw ddisgybl o weithgareddau o’r fath os nad oes cyfraniad wedi’i wneud tuag at gostau digwyddiadau fel hyn.
