Morriston Primary School

Mae cymorth yr ysgol i rieni yn eithriadol ac yn diwallu eu hanghenion amrywiol yn dda iawn. Mae pob aelod o staff yr ysgol yn cyfathrebu’n rheolaidd â rhieni, sy’n meithrin lefelau uchel o ymddiriedaeth a pharch rhwng y ddwy ochr. Mae’r ysgol yn trefnu rhaglenni cymorth cynhwysfawr sydd wedi’u teilwra i anghenion rhieni. Er enghraifft, mae’n creu rhwydweithiau i rieni sy’n wynebu heriau tebyg ac yn hwyluso gweithgareddau cymdeithasol i helpu teuluoedd sydd newydd gyrraedd y wlad i gymdeithasu ac integreiddio’n llwyddiannus. Cynhelir sesiynau rheolaidd i rieni ddysgu medrau newydd, fel gwersi coginio, yn ogystal â sesiynau sy’n eu cefnogi i wella dysgu eu plant. Mae cymorth yr ysgol yn meithrin cydlyniant cymunedol ac yn creu dull partneriaeth hynod lwyddiannus o gefnogi anghenion dysgu ac emosiynol disgyblion.

The school’s approach supporting pupils with challenging behaviour is a notable feature of its work. Nearly all staff are well- trained, knowledgeable and highly skilled in applying consistent and established approaches that identify pupils at risk of dysregulation and, in most cases, prevent escalation. When pupils demonstrate challenging behaviours, staff implement individualised approaches that are highly successful in regulating pupils’ emotions and support pupils to return to calm swiftly. This creates a highly inclusive environment, where all pupils can integrate fully in all aspects of school life, learning is rarely disrupted and pupil exclusion from school activities is extremely rare.

The school’s support for parents is exceptional and meets their wide- ranging needs very well. All school staff establish regular communication with parents, which builds high levels of trust and mutual respect. The school arranges comprehensive, tailored support programmes for parents, for example, they create networks for those who experience similar challenges and facilitate social activities to help families that are new to the country to socialise and integrate successfully. There are regular sessions for parents to learn new skills, such as cookery lessons and sessions which support parents to improve their child’s learning. The school’s support fosters community cohesion and creates a highly successful partnership approach to supporting pupils’ learning and emotional needs.
