Presenoldeb

Yn Yr Ysgol

School Attendance�

Mae’r polisiau llawn ar gael ar y wefan

See website for full policies

www.gwentiscoed.cymru

As a school we aim to:

• Maintain an attendance rate of a minimum of 95.5%
• Maintain levels of attendance by promoting a positive and welcoming atmosphere in which pupils feel safe, secure and valued.
• Raise awareness of the importance of good attendance.
• Ensure that attendance is monitored effectively and reasons for absences are recorded promptly and consistently.
• Ensure good time keeping at the start and end of the school day.

Good attendance is important because:

• Statistics show a direct link between under-achievement and poor attendance
• Regular attenders make better progress, both socially and academically
• Regular attenders find school routines and school work easier to cope with
• Regular attenders find learning more satisfying

​

​

​

Fel ysgol, rydym yn anelu at:

• Gynnal lefel presenoldeb o leiaf 95.5%
• Cynnal lefelau presenoldeb trwy hyrwyddo awyrgylch positif a chroesawgar lle mae disgyblion yn teimlo’n ddiogel ac wedi’u gwerthfawrogi.
• Codi ymwybyddiaeth o bwysigrwydd presenoldeb da.
• Sicrhau fod presenoldeb yn cael ei fonitro’n effeithiol a bod rhesymau am absenoldebau yn cael eu cofnodi’n gywir ac yn gyson.
• Sicrhau prydlondeb ar ddechrau a diwedd y diwrnod ysgol.

Mae presenoldeb da yn bwysig oherwydd:

• Mae ystadegau’n dangos fod yna gyswllt uniongyrchol rhwng tangyflawni a phresenoldeb gwael
• Mae disgyblion sy’n mynychu’n rheolaidd yn gwneud cynnydd gwell, yn gymdeithasol ac yn academaidd
• Mae disgyblion sy’n mynychu’n rheolaidd yn ei chael yn haws i ymdopi gydag arferion yr ysgol a gwaith ysgol
• Mae disgyblion sy’n mynychu’n rheolaidd yn cael mwy o foddhad o ddysgu

• Tra bod nifer o ffactorau yn cyfrannu at ystod o anawsterau a brofwyd gan rai plant, rydym yn credu y gall llawer gael ei wneud i’w goresgyn wrth i rieni, athrawon a disgyblion weithio gyda’i gilydd.

There are three main elements to our policy:

• procedures for identifying and reporting cases, or suspected cases, of abuse. Because of our day to day contact with children school staff are well placed to observe the outward signs of abuse  

• support to pupils who may have been abused.

Our policy applies to all staff and volunteers working in the school and governors. Learning support assistants, mid-day supervisors, caretakers, office staff as well as teachers can be the first point of disclosure for a child.
