Presenoldeb

Rydym yn anelu at wella presenoldeb yn gyffredinol yn yr ysgol, felly ni allaf or-bwysleisio gormod bwysigrwydd mynychu'n rheolaidd. Cefais nifer o geisiadau i ganiatau absenoldeb oherwydd gwyliau teuluol yn ystod y tymor. Tra'n deall amgylchiadau sawl teulu, gofynnaf yn garedig iawn i chi ymatal rhag yr arfer yma cyn belled a bob modd.

Attendance

We endeavour to improve attendance generally at the school, therefore I can't stress enough the importance of regular attendance. I have received a number of letters asking for absence with permission due to family holidays during the term. Whilst we understand the circumstances of some families, I ask you kindly to refrain from this custom as much as possible.
