Dulliau Aesu
Assesment Methods
Sut caiff pynciau eu hasesu
Caiff dysgwyr eu hasesu trwy arholiadau a rhai ADA (Asesiadau Di-Arholiad). Gyda rhai cyrsiau nad oes unrhyw arholiadau a chaiff eu hasesu yn gwbl trwy ADA.
Asesiadau Di-Arholiad yn mesur sgiliau a gwybodaeth pwnc penodol na fedrir mesur trwy arholiadau ysgrifenedig traddodiadol. Yn y gorffennol cyfeiriwyd at y mat yma o asesiad fel “ Gwaith Cwrs” neu “Asesiadau Rheoledig” . Caiff yr asesiadau yma eu cynnal dan amodau rheoledig yn yr ysgol dan oruchwyliaeth athrawon ac yn cyfrannu at y radd derfynol. Er bod y tasgau yma yn cael ei chwblhau yn yr ysgol, dylid bod gwaith paratoi at yr asesiadau yma cael eu cwblhau adref.
How are subjects are assessed
Learners will be assessed through examinations and sometimes NEA (Non-Examination Assessments). Some qualifications do not have any examinations at all, and are assessed continuously throughout the two years.
Non-Examination Assessments measure subject-specific knowledge and skills that cannot be tested by timed written papers. This is the term given to tasks previously called ‘Coursework’ or ‘Controlled Assessments’. These assessments take place in controlled conditions under classroom supervision in school and will contribute to the learner’s final grade. Although completed in school, preparation work for these assessments will need to be completed at home.

Haenau
Tiers
Tiers of Entry
Some subjects are taught in tiers. Tiering means different versions of an exam paper are sat by different learners, giving each an appropriate level of challenge for them.
The decision regarding which tier a learner will be entered for will be made by the school on the basis of which tier will afford the learner the best learning experience and outcome.
Subject teachers will are available discuss these decisions with learners and parents during parents evenings.
Haenau Mynediad
Caiff rhai cyrsiau eu dysgu mewn haenau. Mae haenau yn golygu bod gwahanol fersiynau o bapurau arholiad yn cael eu sefyll gan ddysgwyr gwahanol, gan roi cyfle teg i bawb gael mynediad a llwyddo. Caiff y penderfyniad ynglŷn â pha haen i astudio ei wneud gan yr ysgol ar sail pa haen bydd yn rhoi'r profiad a chyfle gorau i’r disgybl. Bydd athrawon pwnc ar gael i drafod hyn gyda rhieni yn ystod nosweithiau rieni.
