Mae’r ysgol yn cychwyn am 8.50 ac mae yn bwysig eu bod yn yr ysgol i gychwyn y dydd. Mae prydlondeb yn statudol ac mae yn ofynnol bod plant yn yr ysgol ar amser. Mae bod yn hwyr i’r ysgol yn aml yn cael effaith anwydol ar ddysgu y plentyn ac hefyd yn amharu ar y dosbarth a phlant eraill pan mae plentyn yn cyrraedd yn hwyr. Os yn cyrraedd yn hwyr ceir marc hwyr ar y gofrestr. Mae rhieni yn cael eu annog i beidio a chymeryd eu plant allan ar wyliau, ond gellir cael 10 diwrnod y flwyddyn wedi ai awdurdodi.

School starts at 8.50 and it is important children are in school ready to start the day promptly. Punctuality is a legal requirement and pupils must attend on time.

Parents are discouraged from taking their child out of school for holidays, but the headteacher may authorise up to 10 days per academic year. The Headteacher will make the decision and will consider the following contributory factors: Time of Year, Length of time, Overall percentage of attendance Impact on the child’s learning If your child’s attendance is low, then holidays during term time will be unauthorised.

Welsh-medium education is the most effective way to ensure that you child becomes totally bilingual. Your child will not lose fluency in the first language, but gain the ability to communicate fully in both languages. Being able to speak Welsh is beneficial when applying for jobs in Wales. - Two languages - more job opportunities The ability to speak Welsh is an advantage when applying for jobs in Wales. Being fluent in both Welsh and English is considered as an extra skill. Many posts note that being able to speak Welsh is a desirable or an essential skill. The Welsh Government has committed to developing Wales into a completely bilingual nation. There is more demand today than ever before for bilingual skills in a variety of posts such as health, education, leisure, childcare and public services - There are many advantages and very few disadvantages in becoming bilingual. Bilingualism offers your child the opportunity to experience two different cultures and enrich his/her Welsh identity. Welsh-medium education will ensure that your child grows to be completely bilingual. It will also open up a rich world of culture, and many opportunities. 1. I don’t speak Welsh myself – will this be a disadvantage if I send my child to a Welsh-medium school? You don't have to be able to speak Welsh so that your child will flourish in Welsh-medium education. In many areas in Wales, a high number of children attending Welsh-medium education come from non-Welsh-speaking homes. 2. If I send my child to a Welsh-medium school will the quality of his/her English be affected? No. Every Welsh-medium school has a responsibility to ensure that every child develops high quality skills in both Welsh and English. School inspection reports confirm that this is happening. A number of these reports identify higher attainment levels in English amongst children attending Welshmedium schools.
Llawlyfr Rhieni / Parents Handbook 2025 – 2026 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23 3. Will I be able to help my child with his / her homework? This is one of the most frequently asked questions by non-Welsh speaking parents. By the time your child will begin to have homework he or she will be able to translate it to you. This will give you an opportunity to talk with your child and solve the homework together. As your child will be translating the homework he/she will be valuably reprocessing the information and deeper learning may occur. If your child has understood it in two languages, then he or she has understood it! You can offer advice, explanation and encouragement if needed.
