Pembroke Dock Community School

Mae ffocws ar ddatblygiad proffesiynol staff i gryfhau dulliau o addysgu ysgrifennu wedi sicrhau bod prosesau cyson ac effeithiol ar waith. Mae’r rhan fwyaf o ddisgyblion yn ysgrifennu’n dda, ac mae medrau ysgrifennu disgyblion hŷn yn eithriadol. Maent yn ysgrifennu’n ddychmygus ac yn greadigol i ennyn diddordeb y darllenydd ac yn cymhwyso eu medrau’n bwrpasol, gan ddefnyddio geirfa dechnegol yn eu gwaith ar draws y cwricwlwm.

A strong and sustained commitment to equity is central to the school’s ethos. This is evident in the curriculum, daily routines and the wide-ranging experiences offered to all pupils. Leaders and governors make innovative and targeted use of the Pupil Development Grant (PDG) to reduce the impact of poverty. They rigorously review the impact of grant-funded strategies to ensure they meet pupils’ needs. This determined and creative approach reduces barriers to learning and has helped to narrow gaps in achievement.

A focus on professional development for staff to strengthen approaches to teaching writing has ensured there are consistent and effective processes in place. Most pupils write well and older pupils’ writing skills are exceptional. They write imaginatively and creatively to engage the reader and apply their skills purposefully using technical vocabulary in their work across the curriculum.
