Penygloddfa C.P. School

Ar draws yr ysgol, mae staff wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau bod treftadaeth, diwylliant ac iaith Cymru yn treiddio trwy’r cwricwlwm. Mae bron pob aelod o staff yn modelu’r defnydd o’r Gymraeg yn effeithiol, ac mae disgyblion yn elwa ar ystod eang o gyfleoedd i ddefnyddio a chymhwyso’r Gymraeg yn yr ystafell ddosbarth ac ar yr iard chwarae. Mae ‘Criw Cymraeg’ yr ysgol yn cynnal gwasanaethau wythnosol lle maent yn dathlu iaith a diwylliant Cymru. Maent yn cyflwyno gemau Cymraeg ac yn cydnabod ymdrechion disgyblion i feistroli’r iaith. Mae’r ysgol yn manteisio i’r eithaf ar gyfleoedd i gymryd rhan yn yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol, gan gystadlu’n rheolaidd ac yn llwyddiannus. O ganlyniad, mae disgyblion yn gwneud cynnydd rhagorol wrth ddatblygu eu medrau Cymraeg.

Across the school, staff are committed to ensuring that the heritage, culture and language of Wales permeate the curriculum. Nearly all staff model the use of the Welsh language effectively and pupils benefit from an extensive range of opportunities to use and apply Welsh both in the classroom and on the playground. The school’s ‘Criw Cymraeg’ hold weekly assemblies in which they celebrate Wales’s language and culture. They introduce Welsh games and recognise pupils’ attempts to master the language. The school makes the most of opportunities to take part in the National Eisteddfod, competing regularly and successfully. As a result, pupils make excellent progress in developing their Welsh language skills.

The school has used professional learning opportunities well to support ALN reform. Staff have engaged in research and development to refine their approach to meeting the individual needs of pupils robustly. Staff maintain strong communication with parents about their child’s progress and together with successful partnership working with external agencies the school ensure that pupils’ needs are identified promptly and that they receive effective individual support.
