The school’s ALN co-ordinator would be happy to discuss any matter concerning your child’s needs with you. We have a full provision to support pupils’ special educational needs. Every ALN pupil has a member of staff as their mentor. This provides pupils with the opportunity to share their successes and concerns, and also to discuss their progress towards reaching specific targets. The school has a range of daily support activities which include a lunchtime Support Club, Paired Reading Scheme, Numeracy Improving Sessions and an ICT Support Club. SEX EDUCATION The Governing Body believes that sex education should be an integral and core part of each pupil’s curriculum, and the way in which it is presented encourages children to give proper consideration to moral issues and the value of family life. Sex Education is presented in the Personal Education lessons and this programme is reinforced by units of work in Science in KS3. The programme stresses the importance of nurturing responsible attitudes, contraception, the law and diseases transferred via sexual intercourse. Experts in the field of health education are invited to the school to contribute to this programme. The school’s policy, may be seen by contacting the school. Parents are also invited to make an appointment to discuss the scheme of work with the Headteacher if there is any doubt about the suitability of presenting it to their children. CHILDREN IN CARE The Deputy Headteacher has been assigned the role of co-ordinating all aspects of the specific needs of children in care.

ADDYSG GYRFAOEDD A PHROFIAD GWAITH Darperir y rhaglen Addysg a Chyfarwyddyd Gyrfaoedd yn yr ysgol i gyd fynd â gofynion stadudol fframwaith Addysg Gysylltiedig â Gwaith Llywodraeth Cymru, yn ogystal â’r fframwaith Addysg Bersonol a Chymdeithasol. Mae’r rhaglen yn cynorthwyo ein disgyblion i ddatblygu’r wybodaeth a’r sgiliau a fydd o gymorth iddynt wneud y defnydd gorau o’u galluoedd dysgu a gweithio trwy gydol eu hoes. Mae’n anelu i gynorthwyo ein disgyblion i feithrin y medrau sy’n angenrheidiol i ganfod gwybodaeth a’i ddefnyddio, i fod yn realistig ynglŷn â’u galluoedd a’u dyheadau personol, ac i wneud penderfyniadau gwybodus a chynlluniau priodol ynglyn â’u dyfodol. Mae’r cyfarwyddyd yn cynnig cyfleoedd i adolygu’r hyn a ddysgwyd, i osod nodau newydd ac i gofnodi cyraeddiadau amrywiol. Fe nodweddir cyfarwyddyd effeithiol gan ddidueddwch, cyfrinachedd a hygyrchedd – hoffem feddwl ein bod yn cyrraedd y nodweddion pwysig yma. Darperir rhaglen flynyddol i flynyddoedd 9 i 11 gyda rhaglen arbennig ‘Ymlaen i’r Dyfodol’ yn cael ei chyflwyno ym mlynyddoedd 12 ac 13. Gwneir hyn drwy gyfrwng rhaglen raddedig sydd wedi ei hintegreiddio â’r rhaglen ABCh, ond sydd yn ogystal â hyn yn cyfrannu tuag at gwricwlwm ehangach yr ysgol. Fel rhan o’r ddarpariaeth bwriedir i bob disgybl yn ystod cyfnodau gwahanol dderbyn profiadau fel cymorth gyda gwneud dewisiadau. Sicrheir bod y disgyblion yn derbyn cyngor gyrfaol gan Gyd-gysylltydd Gyrfaoedd yr ysgol a chan aelod o Gwmni Gyrfa Cymru, sy’n cyd-weithio’n glos gyda’r ysgol. Sicrheir bod disgyblion yn cael mynediad i raglenni cyfrifiadurol Kudos, CID a Pathfinder i’w cynorthwyo gyda’u dewisiadau. Cynigir o leiaf un wythnos o Brofiad Gwaith, rhaglen yn ymwneud â ffug gyfweliadau, mynychu diwrnod opsiynau a chyfweliad gan gynghorydd Gyrfa yr ysgol. Cynhelir diwrnod ‘Ymwybyddiaeth Diwydiannol’ yn flynyddol i ddisgyblion blwyddyn 10 yn ogystal â gweithdy menter i hybu a meithrin sgiliau entrepreneuriaeth. Yng nghyd destun hyn fe roddir pwyslais ar berthynas yr ysgol â diwydiant a’r gymuned fusnes leol. Trefnir lleoliadau profiad gwaith amrywiol gyda nodau ac amcanion clir gyda lleoliadau perthnasol i addysg y disgyblion. Mae’r ysgol yn gweithio’n agos gydag asiantaethau allanol amrywiol megis Gyrfa Cymru, Colegau Addysg Bellach ac Uwch, Asiantaethau Hyfforddi, Y Cyngor Sir, Cymunedau yn Gyntaf, a nifer o gyflogwyr lleol. Rhoddir pwyslais mawr ar y berthynas rhwng yr Adran Gyrfaoedd a’r Cwmni Gyrfa, gyda rhieni. Trefnir nifer o gyfarfodydd ac fe fydd cynghorydd gyrfa yn bresennol ym mhob cyfarfod rhieni a gynhelir yn yr ysgol i ddisgyblion blynyddoedd 9 i 13. CHWARAEON Mae Addysg Gorfforol o safbwynt iechyd, ffitrwydd a hamdden ein disgyblion, yn bwysig iawn yng nghwricwlwm yr ysgol a chynigir llawer iawn o brofiadau gwahanol. Mae’r pwyslais ar lwyddiant yr unigolyn a gwaith tîm a’r cyfleoedd all-gyrsiol, yn sylweddol. Yn ystod eu cyfnod yn yr ysgol bydd nifer o’n disgyblion yn cynrychioli’r ysgol mewn chwaraeon neu’n cymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau awyr agored mewn ysgolion neu leoliadau eraill. Os nad ydych am i’ch plentyn gymryd rhan mewn gweithgaredd ychwanegol o’r fath, gofynwn i chwi ysgrifennu at y Prifathro yn nodi hynny os gwelwch yn dda.

ASESU (i) Gwaith Cartref

Mesurir cynnydd y disgyblion yn barhaol, ac un agwedd ar yr asesu yw’r gwaith cartref sy’n rhan hanfodol o raglen pob disgybl. Gall gynnwys amryfal weithgareddau megis gwaith ysgrifenedig, dysgu, ymholi ac ymchwilio. Anogir rhieni i ymgyfarwyddo â’r drefn, a hyrwyddo gwaith eu plant trwy fanylu ar y tasgau a nodir yn Y Llyfr Cyswllt.

(ii) Arholiadau / Profion Mewnol Agwedd arall ar yr asesu yw’r arholiadau mewnol a gynhelir yn ystod y flwyddyn.

(iii) Adroddiadau Darperir adroddiad / proffil i rieni dair gwaith yn ystod y flwyddyn, a bydd cyfle i rieni drafod cynnydd eu plant gyda’r athrawon mewn cyfarfodydd rhieni.

POLISI IAITH Nôd yr ysgol yw hyrwyddo i’r graddau mwyaf posibl, ddatblygiad dwyieithog pob disgybl. Mae yn y polisi bwyslais ar integreiddio’r dysgwyr Cymraeg i gymdeithas Gymreig yr ysgol gynted ag y bo modd. Anelir at sefyllfa lle y gall pob disgybl drafod y gwahanol bynciau mewn dwy iaith, a hyn yn ei dro yn atgyfnerthu dealltwriaeth y plentyn o’r pynciau eu hunain.

Cymraeg fel pwnc Disgwylir i bob disgybl astudio Cymraeg hyd at ddiwedd blwyddyn 11, a sefyll yr arholiad priodol, iaith gyntaf neu ail iaith ar derfyn y cwrs.

Iaith Cyfathrebu Cymraeg yw iaith naturiol cyfathrebu yn yr ysgol, a chynhelir gwasanaethau boreol a gweithgareddau’r ysgol yn bennaf yn y Gymraeg. GOFAL BUGEILIOL Nôd y gyfundrefn fugeiliol yw dod i adnabod cymeriad cyflawn pob disgybl a gofalu am ei les, cadw golwg ar ei ymddygiad a’i gynnydd cyffredinol, a rhoi arweiniad iddo ar ddewis gyrfa. (a) Fframwaith

Y mae’r drefn fugeiliol yn seiliedig ar waith tiwtoriaid dosbarth ac arweinyddion cyfnod allweddol. Y tiwtor dosbarth yw cyswllt cyntaf y plentyn, a bydd yr arweinydd cyfnod allweddol yn cadw golwg ar y cynnydd yn ngwaith y plentyn, ei ymdrech a’i ymddygiad.

(b) Disgyblaeth Mae’r drefn ddisgyblaeth yn seiliedig ar bolisi lle mae pob athro yn gyfrifol am ymddygiad ei ddosbarth ei hun, ond, os oes angen, gellir cyfeirio disgyblion i sylw’r arweinydd cyfnod neu aelod o’r UDR. Mewn rhai achosion o gamymddwyn cedwir plentyn i mewn fel cosb, ond rhoddir manylion llawn i rieni ymlaen llaw os yw’n fwriad cadw disgyblion yn yr ysgol ar ôl 3.15 p.m. Mae gan y Prifathro hawl i atal disgyblion rhag mynychu’r ysgol am unrhyw reswm a ystyrir yn ddigonol am gyfnod hyd at 45 diwrnod ysgol mewn blwyddyn addysgol. Bydd gan y rhieni yr hawl i apelio yn erbyn yr ataliad i Gadeirydd y Llywodraethwyr a’r Awdurdod Addysg Lleol. Yr ydym bob amser yn anelu at hyrwyddo ymddygiad da.

(c) Trefniadau awr ginio (i) Er lles y plant mae’n ofynnol iddynt yn ystod yr awr ginio: (a) fynd adref i ginio (ond nid blynyddoedd 7, 8 na 9); (b) cymryd cinio ysgol, neu (c) dod â’u bwyd eu hunain i’w fwyta yn yr ysgol. (ii) Mae angen caniatâd (gan y Prifathro neu’r Dirprwyon) i adael yr ysgol yn ystod y dydd. Dylai rhieni wneud cais ysgrifenedig am ganiatâd.

CAREERS EDUCATION AND WORK EXPERIENCE


9

A programme of Education and Guidance in Careers is prepared in the school as part of the Welsh Government’s statutory framework linking education with the world of work, as well as the framework for Personal and Social Education. The programme helps our pupils to develop the knowledge and skills that will enable them to make the best use of their capabilities in learning and work throughout life. It enables our students to nurture the skills to find the necessary information and use it correctly, to be realistic about their abilities and their personal aspirations, and to make knowledgeable decisions and plans about their future. The instructions offer the pupils a chance to review their work, to set new targets and to note new achievements. We place an emphasis on guidance, fairness, confidentiality and accessibility – we are confident that we reach these important criteria in full. An annual programme is prepared for years 9 to 11 with a special programme called ‘Into the Future’ for years 12 and 13. The latter is presented in the form of a graduated programme, integrated into the PSE programme, and it also contributes to the wider school curriculum. As part of the provision, we ensure that all students, during their period in school, receive advice on making options decisions. Pupils will receive advice from the Careers Teacher in school as well as from a member of ‘Cwmni Gyrfa Cymru’. Pupils can gain access to KUDOS, CID and Pathfinder – Careers Software packages, to help with their decisions. At least one week of work experience is offered to pupils, a programme made up of mock interviews, attending an options day and an interview with the school’s Careers Advisor. A day of ‘Industrial Awareness’ is held annually for year 10 pupils as well as entrepreneurship workshops. In this context, we place a strong emphasis on the school’s relationships with industry and the local business community. We arrange a variety of work placements, with clear aims and purpose, ensuring an appropriate relevance to the student’s educational pathway. The school works closely with outside agencies such as ‘Gyrfa Cymru’, Colleges of Further Education and Universities, Training Agencies, Gwynedd Council, Communities First, and many other local employers. We also promote a strong relationship between the Careers Department, ‘Cwmni Gyrfa’ and parents. A number of meetings are arranged and there will be a Careers representative present at all parents meetings for Year 9, Key Stage 4 and Sixth Form pupils held at the school. SPORT Physical Education is important in the school’s curriculum from the point of view of health, fitness and leisure, and we offer the pupils many different experiences. The success of the individual pupil and teamwork are promoted and extra-curricular opportunities are substantial. During their time at the school a number of our pupils will represent the school in sporting fixtures or take part in outdoor activities at other schools or locations. If you do not want your child to take part in these extra curricular activities, please inform the Headteacher by letter. ASSESSMENT (i) Homework

The child’s progress is continuously assessed and one aspect of the assessment is homework, an essential element of each pupil’s educational programme. It entails various activities, including written work, learning work and research. Parents should familiarise themselves with the arrangement, and encourage their children with their work by looking in detail at the tasks recorded in The Liaison Book.

(ii) School Examinations / Tests Another aspect of the assessment is the internal examinations held during the year.

(iii) Reports Report / Profiles are presented to parents three times during the year, and parents will be given the opportunity to discuss the progress of their children with teachers at parent evenings.

LANGUAGE POLICY The aim of the school is to encourage, as far as possible, the bilingual development of each pupil. In the policy, emphasis is placed on integrating the Welsh learners into the naturally Welsh school community, as quickly as possible. We aim towards a situation where all pupils can discuss their various subjects in two languages, with this capability in turn reinforcing the pupil’s understanding of the subjects themselves. Welsh as a subject All pupils are expected to study Welsh up to the end of their eleventh year, and to sit the appropriate first or second language examination at the end of the course. Language of Communication Welsh is the natural language of communication in school, and morning assemblies and school functions are conducted mainly in Welsh. PASTORAL CARE The aim of the school’s pastoral system is to recognise a pupil’s whole character as well as to ensure his / her welfare, monitor behavior and general progress and also to offer career guidance.

(a) Organisation

The pastoral system is based on the work of form tutors and key stage leaders. The form tutor is the child’s first point of contact, and the key stage leader will monitor each child’s progress, their effort and behaviour.

(b) Discipline School discipline is based on a policy of every teacher being responsible for the conduct of his own class, but, if necessary, pupils can be referred to the key stage leader or to a member of the SMT. Detention is also used as a punishment for the more serious offences, but parents will be given full details of any impending detention, if it involves keeping pupils at school after 3.15pm. The Headteacher has the right to exclude pupils from attending school for any reason which he considers reasonable, for a period of up to 45 school days in an academic year. Parents have the right to appeal against the exclusion to the Chairman of the Governors and to the Local Education Authority. We always aim to promote good behaviour.

(c) Lunch-hour arrangements. (i) The welfare of the pupils necessitates that mid-day meals must be: (a) a meal taken at home (but not years 7, 8 or 9); (b) a school meal, or (c) a packed lunch eaten in school.

(ii) Before a pupil may leave school during the day, permission must be obtained from the Headteacher or the Deputies. Parents should make a request in writing.

CÔD YMDDYGIAD CYFFREDINOL Pethau i’w cofio er lles pawb yn yr ysgol:

1. Parchu pob cyd-ddisgybl a phobl 2. Parchu’r ysgol a’i chadw’n lân ac yn daclus 3. Parchu eiddo cyd-ddisgyblion 4. Bod yn gwrtais bob amser 5. Bod yn onest 6. Bod yn gyfrifol a derbyn cyfrifoldeb 7. Gwneud yn fawr o bob cyfle

Yn ogystal â’r hyn a nodwyd eisoes, mae rheolau, disgyblaeth a disgwyliadau’r ysgol yn rhan o’r Côd Ymddygiad Cyffredinol. CYFLE CYFARTAL Mae gan yr ysgol bolisi cadarn sy’n cyfeirio at y pwysigrwydd o greu amodau ffafriol i bob unigolyn lwyddo oddi fewn i gymdeithas sy’n gofalu am fuddiannau pawb fel ei gilydd. TREFN GWYNO YNGLŶN AG AGWEDD O’R CWRICWLWM NEU UNRHYW AGWEDD O WAITH YR YSGOL Dylid trafod unrhyw gwyn gyda’r Prifathro yn y lle cyntaf. Os nad yw’r ymateb yn foddhaol dylid cyflwyno’r gwyn yn ysgrifenedig i Glerc y Llywodraethwyr yn yr ysgol. Yna bydd y Corff Llywodraethol yn delio â’r gwyn. IECHYD A DIOGELWCH Caiff iechyd a diogelwch y disgyblion, aelodau’r staff ac ymwelwyr flaenoriaeth uchel yn yr ysgol. Rhoddir sylw manwl i’r materion hyn yn yr ysgol yn gyffredinol ac oddi fewn i’r gwahanol adrannau. Mae Cyd-lynydd i’r gwaith ac adolygir y gweithdrefnau yn rheolaidd gan weithgor penodol. CODI TÂL AM WEITHGAREDDAU ADDYSGOL Mae’r Corff Llywodraethol wedi mabwysiadu polisi o godi tâl ar ddisgyblion am: (i) gostau llety a bwyd ar ymweliadau addysgol; (ii) weithgareddau y tu allan i oriau ysgol; (iii) arholiadau allanol pan nad yw’r ysgol wedi paratoi’r disgyblion ar eu cyfer yn ystod y flwyddyn honno;

(iv) arholiadau pan fo disgybl yn methu â chyflawni’r gofynion neu fynychu’r arholiad heb reswm digonol; (v) ddifrod bwriadol i eiddo’r ysgol neu am golli eiddo’r ysgol. Gofynnir am gyfraniad gwirfoddol gan rieni pan na ellir codi tâl am weithgareddau, ond sicrheir na waherddir disgyblion rhag cymryd rhan pan na all y rhieni gyfrannu. Mae’n bosibl na fydd modd cynnal rhai gweithgareddau heb gefnogaeth wirfoddol deilwng. TYNNU LLUNIAU I BWRPAS CYHOEDDUSRWYDD Byddwn yn tynnu lluniau ac yn ffilmio disgyblion yr ysgol yn cymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau gyda’r ysgol yn gyson. Gall rhai o’r lluniau hyn gael eu rhoi yn y papurau newydd, eu cynnwys mewn cyhoeddiadau neu ar wefan yr ysgol, Cyngor Gwynedd neu sefydliadau eraill y byddwn yn cydweithio â nhw. Os nad ydych am i’ch plentyn gael ei gynnwys mewn lluniau i’r pwrpas yma, wnewch chi ysgrifennu at Y Prifathro yn nodi hynny os gwelwch yn dda. SUT I GAEL RHAGOR O WYBODAETH Dylid cysylltu â’r Prifathro i drafod unrhyw fater nad oes cyfeiriad ato yn y Llawlyfr hwn neu i drafod unrhyw fater yn fanylach. Dyma’r drefn i’w dilyn i gael mynediad at ddogfennau sy’n ymwneud â chwricwlwm yr ysgol yn ogystal.

POLISI MYNEDIAD – Rhif mynediad yr ysgol yw 115 Gall yr ysgol weithredu polisi mynediad agored. Gall yr ysgol weithredu yr un polisi ar gyfer disgyblion anabl, ond cynghorir rhieni i drafod hyn yn fanwl efo’r Prifathro ddigon ymlaen llaw.

GENERAL CODE OF CONDUCT Things to remember for the benefit of all of us at school:

1. Respect all fellow pupils and people 2. Respect the school and keep it clean and tidy 3. Respect the belongings of fellow pupils 4. Be courteous at all times 5. Be honest 6. Be responsible and accept responsibility 7. Make the most of every opportunity

Together with the matters mentioned above, the rules, conduct and discipline and the school’s expectations are part of the General Code of Conduct. EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES The school has a sound policy refering to the importance of creating favourable conditions for every individual to succeed within a society which cares for the interests of everyone. COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE REGARDING AN ASPECT OF THE CURRICULUM OR ANY ASPECT OF THE SCHOOL’S WORK Any complaint should first of all be discussed with the Headteacher. If the matter is not dealt with to the parent’s satisfaction, the complaint should be presented in writing to the Clerk of the Governors at the school. The Governing Body will then deal with the complaint. HEALTH AND SAFETY The health and safety of pupils, members of staff and visitors is given high priority in the school. These matters are given priority in the school in general and within the various departments. A Co-ordinator supervises and assesses the working practices regularly in co-ordination with the working party. TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS FOR PUBLICITY PURPOSES We regularly photograph and film our pupils taking part in various activities in the school. Some of these photographs may appear in newspapers, be contained in publications or appear on websites e.g. the school, Gwynedd Council or other establishments with whom we work.

If you do not want your child to be included in photographs for these purposes, then please inform the Headteacher in writing. CHARGING FOR EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES The Governing Body has adopted a policy of charging pupils for: (i) board and lodging costs on educational visits; (ii) activities outside school hours;

(iii) external examinations, preparation for which, the school was not responsible for; (iv) examinations when the pupil fails to complete the requirements or fails to attend the examination without an acceptable reason; (v) intentional damage to school property or for loss of school property.

A voluntary contribution is requested from parents when it is not possible to charge for an activity, but no pupil will be excluded from taking part when their parents cannot contribute. It is possible that some activities will not be held without sufficient voluntary contributions.

. HOW TO OBTAIN MORE INFORMATION Parents should contact the Headteacher in order to discuss any matter to which no reference is made in this handbook, or to discuss any matter in further detail. This is also the arrangement regarding access to curriculum documents. ADMISSIONS POLICY – The school’s admission number is 115 The school can operate an open admissions policy. The school can operate the same policy for disabled pupils, but parents are advised to discuss this in detail with the Headteacher well in advance.
