gennyf agor ein hysgol newydd, Ysgol Bro Dinefwr, sydd
ar hyn o bryd yn gweithredu ar ddau safle: campws
Tre-Gib a champws Pantycelyn.
Mae’n amser cyffrous i ni i gyd. Mae’r disgyblion a’r
myfyrwyr wedi bod ynghlwm yn y trafodaethau i
gynllunio ein gwisg ysgol a chit chwaraeon newydd, creu
ein logo ac arwyddair newydd a dewis enw’r ysgol
newydd.

Addysg a Sgiliau y bydd Ysgol Bro Dinefwr yn symud i
adeilad newydd sbon ar safle arfaethedig yn Ffairfach

Ar hyn o bryd mae 1,262 disgybl ar y gofrestr gyda
256 disgybl yn y chweched dosbarth, a thybir mai nifer
tebyg fydd yn 2015.

a ‘Phantycelyn’, gan ddatblygu cymunedau dysgu
egnïol a darparu addysg o’r safon uchaf i’n disgyblion i
gyd. Ceir amrediad eang o gyfleoedd i bawb ac

Welcome from the Headteacher
important to us, not
just in terms of
examination
performance, but in
everything that we
do.
Ysgol Bro Dinefwr
is a happy school
where pupils have
settled quickly this
year and are well
cared for and
supported. I am
grateful to all the staff
The Headteacher
for their tremendous
hard work, the parents for their support and our pupils
for working with us to help them achieve their best. It is

Headteacher.
I hope you will find this prospectus informative. If you

please do not hesitate to contact me.
J. D. GRIFFITHS
Headteacher
On the 19th September 2012, the Welsh Government
Minister for Education and Skills announced his approval
of the plan submitted by Carmarthenshire County
Council for the reorganisation of secondary education in
the Dinefwr area. In September this year, I was proud to
open our new school, Ysgol Bro Dinefwr, currently
operating on two sites: the Tre-Gib campus and the
Pantycelyn campus.
This is an exciting time for us all. Pupils and students
have been fully involved in designing our new uniform
and sports kit, creating our new logo and motto and
choosing a name for our new school.
The schedule approved by the Department for
Education and Skills states that Ysgol Bro Dinefwr will
move into a brand new building on the proposed site in
Ffairfach in September 2015. We hope this will be the
case. We have currently 1,262 pupils on roll with
256 students in the sixth form, and we expect to be of a
similar size in 2015.
We are building on the strengths of ‘Tre-Gib’ and
‘Pantycelyn’, developing vibrant learning communities
and providing the highest quality of education to our
pupils. A wide range of opportunities are available to all,
and our pupils and students are encouraged to develop
their interests and talents. High standards are very

Cludiant Ysgol
Mae symud o Ysgol Gynradd i Ysgol Uwchradd yn
gyfnod o newid dramatig i’r rhan fwyaf o ddisgyblion.
Er mwyn hwyluso’r trosglwyddo, paratoir rhaglen
gyflwyno gynhwysfawr.
Mae Cyngor Sir Gâr yn trefnu cludiant am ddim i
ddisgyblion sy’n byw o fewn y dalgylch a mwy na
thair milltir o’r campws agosaf. Mae Adran Gludiant y
cyngor yn darparu tocyn teithio i’r holl ddisgyblion
yma, a gofynnir iddynt ei ddangos ar bob siwrnai.
Disgwylir i rieni a disgyblion gydymffurfio â Chod
Ymddygiad yr Adran Gludiant y byddwch yn ei
dderbyn gyda’ch tocyn teithio. Rhif ffôn Adran

Cau’r Ysgol yn Gynnar
Weithiau oherwydd amodau gwael fel eira ac ia,
mae angen cau’r ysgol yn gynnar, a gelwir ar gludiant
ysgol i ddychwelyd y disgyblion. O dan y fath
amgylchiadau, gall disgyblion gysylltu â’u rhieni dros
y ffôn cyn iddynt adael yr ysgol. A fyddech gystal â
nodi’r canlynol:
●
Canol Gorffennaf Dau ddiwrnod llawn o gyflwyno
i’r holl disgyblion newydd
ar gampws Tre-Gib.
●
Dylai rhieni sydd yn dymuno i’w plentyn/plant
ymuno â’r ysgol ar gyfnodau eraill yn ystod eu gyrfa
addysgol gysylltu â’r ysgol i drefnu cyfweliad gyda’r
Pennaeth ynghyd â thywysdaith o amgylch yr ysgol.
●

Pe byddai angen cau’r ysgol yn gynnar, mae’n
hanfodol bod disgyblion yn gwybod y rhifau
ffôn angenrheidiol, a’r trefniadau sydd yn eu
lle. Argymhellir bod rhieni yn sicrhau bod y
rhifau a’r trefniadau hyn wedi eu hysgrifennu
yn llyfr cyswllt y plentyn, a phwysleisir mai
cyfrifoldeb y rhieni yw sicrhau bod eu
plentyn/plant yn ymwybodol o’r trefniadau
hyn.
Os na fydd bws/tacsi yn medru cwblhau’r
siwrne bydd disgwyl i’r disgyblion gerdded neu
i rieni wneud trefniadau i gasglu eu plant.
Mewn argyfwng, yn dilyn penderfyniad i gau’r
ysgol yn gynnar, mae modd cysylltu ag uwch
aelod o staff ar y rhif canlynol:

Transport to and from School
Transfer from Primary to Secondary School means
quite a dramatic change for most pupils. To aid
transition, a comprehensive Induction Programme is
prepared.
Carmarthenshire County Council arranges free
transport for pupils who live within the catchment
area, and more than three miles from the nearest
campus. The council’s Transport Department issues a
bus pass to all these pupils, which they are required
to show on every journey. On receipt of the bus pass,
you will also receive the Transport Department’s
Code of Conduct with which parents and pupils are
required to comply. The telephone number of the
Council’s Transport Department is 01267 231 817.

Early School Closure
Severe weather conditions such as snow and ice
sometimes require the early closure of the school,
and school transport will be summoned to return
pupils home. In these circumstances, pupils can
contact their parents by telephone before they leave
the school premises. Please note the following:
●
Parents wishing their child/children to be admitted
at other stages in their school careers should contact
the school directly to arrange an interview with the
Headteacher and a guided tour of the school.
●
●

In the event of early closure, it is essential that
pupils know the phone numbers to contact,
and the arrangements in place. It is
recommended that parents ensure these
numbers and arrangements are written into
their child’s contact book, and it is stressed
that it is the parents’ responsibility to
ensure that their child(ren) is/are familiar
with these arrangements.
If a bus/taxi is unable to complete the journey,
the pupils will be required to do so by foot, or
parents will need to make arrangements to
collect their children.
In the case of an emergency following early
closure, a senior member of staff can be
contacted on the following number:

Bilingual Education
Welsh as a first language at Ysgol Bro Dinefwr.
Linguistic continuation will also be provided for these
pupils in other subject areas when transferring from
Key Stage 2 to 3.
Pupils who have been assessed in accordance with
Welsh Second Language National Curriculum criteria
will continue to study Welsh as a second language at
Ysgol Bro Dinefwr. These pupils will receive their
education through the medium of English.
The school provides informal education activities
bilingually to further enrich all pupils’ language skills
and experience, and Welsh and English are used in
the daily life and administration of the school to
ensure a fully bilingual ethos.
Ysgol Bro Dinefwr is a bilingual secondary school in
Category 2B – at least 80% of subjects, excluding
English and Welsh, are taught through the medium of
Welsh but are also taught through the medium of
English.
In line with the Local Authority’s policy, we aim to
ensure the relevant linguistic continuation and
progression of every pupil. As a pupil transfers from the
primary to the secondary school, we aim to further
develop the bilingual skills of each pupil and to provide
the necessary support to enable this development.
Pupils who have been assessed at the end of Key
Stage 2 in accordance with Welsh First Language
National Curriculum criteria will continue to study

Addysg Arbennig
Addysg Ryw
Mae’r ysgol yn cynnig cefnogaeth ychwanegol i’r
disgyblion hynny sy’n profi anhawsterau dysgu.
Sefydlwyd canolfan adnoddau arbennig ar gyfer
disgyblion ag anhawsterau dysgu difrifol ac Uned
Iaith a Chyfathrebu. Fodd bynnag, nod yr ysgol ydy
sicrhau cymaint a phosib o intigreiddio. Amrywia’r
rhaglen gefnogaeth o blentyn i blentyn, yn ôl yr
anghenion a adnabyddir.
Mae aelodau o staff hyfforddiedig ynghyd â staff
cymwys eraill yn darparu’r gefnogaeth angenrheidiol
ar yr amserau hyn. Ni ynysir yr un disgybl o’r brif ffrwd
ac fe gofrestrir pob disgybl mewn grwpiau cymysg eu
gallu. Ar hyn o bryd mae 150 disgybl ar Gôd Ymarfer
Anghenion Arbennig.
Mae Deddf Addysg 1993 yn ei gwneud yn statudol i
bob ysgol uwchradd gynnig i’w disgyblion rhaglen o
addysg iechyd yn cynnwys addysg ryw.
Cydnabyddwyd rhaglen Ysgol Bro Dinefwr ar lefel
yr Awdurdod Addysg a Bwrdd Rheolwyr yr ysgol.
Mae’r cwrs strwythuredig yn ceisio cyfeirio at y
canlynol: fod y disgyblion yn cael gwybodaeth gywir
ynglªn â materion sy’n effeithio’u hiechyd a’u lles, eu
paratoi am bwysedd emosiynol, ffisegol,
cymdeithasol ein byd modern; i sicrhau eu dyfodol eu
hunain mewn dull cyfrifol; i ddysgu byw fel aelodau
defnyddiol o gymdeithas gan ddilyn ffordd o fyw iach,
a datblygu perthynas adeiladol gyda phobl ym myd y
cartref, gwaith a hamdden.
Caiff rhieni y cyfle i weld y deunydd dysgu drostynt
eu hunain, cyn iddynt gael eu defnyddio yn yr Ystafell
Ddosbarth. Mae gan rieni’r hawl i eithrio eu plentyn yn
rhannol neu’n gyflawn o’r rhaglen hon. Gofynnir
iddynt wneud ceisiadau yn ysgrifenedig, ar ôl
ymgynghori gyda’r Pennaeth.
✵
Cymryd allan o rai pynciau ar gyfer

Yn dilyn asesiadau pan fo disgybl yn
dechrau yn yr ysgol, cefnogaeth
strategol mewn llythrennedd a rhifedd
yn defnyddio athrawon arbenigol a
rhaglenni meddalwedd cyfrifiadurol.
Polisi Codi Tâl
Mewn achos lle mae’r ysgol yn trefnu gweithgareddau
all-gyrsiol neu weithgareddau yn ymwneud â’r
rhaglen ddysgu yn ystod diwrnod ysgol, ni chodir tâl.
Pan fo’r fath weithgareddau yn ehangu tu hwnt i
ddiwrnod ysgol cyffredin, codir tâl neu fe ofynnir i rieni
gyfrannu tua’r gost. Ceisia’r ysgol ddiogelu nad oes
un plentyn yn cael ei rwystro rhag mynychu’r fath
weithgareddau o ganlyniad i anhawsterau cludiant
neu anhawsterau ariannol. Ystyrir pob achos yn ôl
teilyngdod.
Cynllun Rhwyddineb
a Chydraddoldeb
Cafodd y polisïau ysgol eu datblygu a’u haddasu i
sicrhau eu bod yn unol â’r ddeddfwriaeth bresennol,
sef Deddf Anghenion Arbennig ac Anabledd 2001,
gan roi sylw manwl i’r Côd Ymddygiad i Ysgolion,
Comisiwn Hawliau Anabledd 2002.
Mae’r polisïau yma yn ymwneud â mynediad i’r
cwricwlwm, adeiladau a chyfleusterau.
Y Llyfrgell – canolfan

Agwedd Tadogaeth

Defnyddia’r Llyfrgell system benthig a
rheolaeth cyfrifiadurol. Gellir benthyg llyfrau
yn ystod egwyl y bore ac yn ystod yr awr
ginio. Ar hyn o bryd, mae’r llyfrgell yn
ehangu ei stoc o gyfeirlyfrau ac o ddeunydd
Clywedol.
Cynhwysir 20 o gyfrifiaduron ynddi sydd
wedi ei gysylltu â rhwydwaith yr ysgol.
Rhaid i rieni lofnodi cytundeb gyda’r ysgol
cyn y gall disgyblion ddefnyddio’r
Rhyngrwyd yn y Llyfrgell ac mewn
ystafelloedd TG eraill.
I ateb gofynion Deddf Addysg 1988:
(a) Gweithred gyfunol o addoliad
anenwadol, bob dydd.
(b) Bydd pob disgybl, hyd nes iddo gyrraedd
18 oed yn derbyn rhaglen o addysg
grefyddol.
Mae gan rieni’r hawl i eithrio eu plant o’r trefniadau
hyn yn gyflawn/neu’n rhannol. Gofynnir iddynt wneud
eu ceisiadau yn ysgrifenedig, os yn bosib, ar ôl trafodaeth gyda’r Pennaeth.

Special Education
Sex Education
The school provides additional support for pupils with
learning difficulties; there is a specialist resource
centre for pupils with severe learning difficulties and a
Speech and Language base. It is, however, the
school’s aim to ensure as much integration as
possible. The support programme varies from child to
child according to identified need, and specially
trained teachers, together with other qualified staff
provide the necessary tuition. No pupil is totally
withdrawn from the mainstream and all pupils are
registered in mixed ability groups.
At present there are 150 pupils on the Special
Needs Code of Practice.
The 1993 Education Act makes it statutory for all
secondary schools to offer its pupils a programme of
health education, including sex education.
The programme at Ysgol Bro Dinefwr has been
approved both at LEA level and by the school
governing body. The structured course seeks to
ensure the following: that pupils have access to
accurate information about issues that affect their
health and well-being; they are prepared for modern
day pressures, emotional, physical and social; they
have the skills to take control of their own futures in a
responsible manner; they learn to live as useful
members of society, living a healthy lifestyle and
developing constructive relationships with other
people at home, at work and at leisure.
The opportunity exists for parents to view all
teaching materials for themselves before they are
used in the classroom. Parents have the right to
withdraw their child from all or part of the programme.
Such requests need to be furnished in writing after
initial consultation with the Headteacher.
✵ Temporary withdrawal from certain
subjects for small group tuition with
specialist staff
✵ Additional staff support in lessons
✵ Following assessments carried out on
entry, targeted support in literacy and
numeracy using specialist teachers and
computer software programmes.
Charging Policy
Where the school organises extra-curricular or
extension activities related to programmes of study
during the school day, no charge will be made. Where
such activities extend significantly beyond the normal
school day a charge will be levied or parents asked
for a contribution towards costs. The school attempts
to ensure that no child is necessarily prevented from
attending such activities through financial or transport
difficulties and considers each case on merit.
Accessibility Plan and
Equality Scheme
School policies have been developed and amended
to ensure compliance with current legislation, namely
the Special Needs and Disability Act 2001, taking full
notice of the Code of Practice for Schools, Disability
Rights Commission, 2002.
These policies address access to the curriculum,
buildings and facilities.
The Library –
A multimedia
learning centre
Religious Affiliation
The Library uses a fully computerized
lending and stock control system. Books
can be borrowed by pupils at morning
break and during the lunch hour.
The library has extended its stock of
reference and audio visual material. There
are 20 computers with links to the school
network. Parents must sign an agreement
with the school before pupils are allowed
to use the Internet both in the Library and
other I.T. rooms.
As demanded by Law:
(a) each day will involve a corporate
act of non-denominational worship.
(b) each child up to the age of eighteen
receives a programme of Religious
Education.
Parents have the right to withdraw their child from
these arrangements. Such requests must be
furnished in writing, preferably after discussion with
the Headteacher.

Mae’r disgyblaeth yn deg a chadarn. Disgwylir i
ddisgyblion gyd-weithredu a bod yn gwrtais bob amser.
Mae Ysgol Bro Dinefwr yn gymuned lle parchir a
gwerthfawrogir pob unigolyn. Cynhwysir nifer o reolau
sylfaenol yng Nghôd Ymddygiad yr Ysgol. Mae’r rhain yn
hysbys i’r plant. Mae methu cydweithredu yn synhwyrol â
rhain, yn arwain at gywiro, e.e. eglurhad o’r hyn a
ddisgwylir, rhybuddion addas, cwtogi ar freintiau, hyd at
yn y pen draw ataliad ar ôl ysgol gyda’r Pennaeth ar nos
Fercher. Rhybuddir rhieni o’r un ola hwn ymlaen llaw
drwy lythyr. Dylai rhieni y disgyblion hyn ystyried y fath
gosb fel mater difrifol.
Mae’r defnydd o ffonau symudol yn ystod gwersi wedi
ei wahardd yn llwyr, ac nid anogir defnydd ohonynt ar
adegau eraill o’r diwrnod ysgol. Bydd defnydd amhriodol
o ffonau symudol, fel tynnu lluniau neu recordio eraill heb
eu caniatâd, bwlio drwy ffonio neu ddanfon neges testun,
yn arwain at gosb lem.
Mae’r ysgol yn gweithredu polisi lle nad yw’n goddef
camddefnyddio sylweddau anghyfreithlon. Gall methu â
chydymffurfio â’r polisi hwn arwain at waharddiad parhaol.
Absenoldeb
Caiff absenoldeb ei ddosbarthu fel un di-awdurdod pan
fydd disgybl yn absennol heb awdurdod yr ysgol. Mae
absenoldeb awdurdodedig yn cynnwys y rhai lle na all
ddisgybl fod yn bresennol yn yr ysgol oherwydd, er
enghraifft, salwch, profedigaeth yn y teulu neu ﬁyl
grefyddol.
Yn unol gyda holl ysgolion Sir Gaerfyrddin, bydd
gwyliau sydd yn cael eu cymeryd yn ystod y tymor yn
cyfri yn ddi-awdurdod. Bydd hyn yn cefnogi gwelliant
presenoldeb, sydd, yn ei dro, yn codi safonau
cyrhaeddiad.
Yn ystod y flwyddyn academaidd 2012/2013 roedd
absenoldebau anawdurdodedig yn cyfrif am 0.35% o’r
cyfanswm. Cyfartaledd presenoldeb yr holl ddisgyblion yn
mlynyddoedd 7-11 oedd 90.24%. Ein targed am 20142015 yw 92.5%.
Eiddo Personol
Ni all yr ysgol fod yn gyfrifol am unrhyw golledion neu
ddifrod a achosir i eiddo personol. Dylid atgoffa rhieni
nad oes gan yr ysgol na’r AALL yswiriant am eitemau fel
offerynnau cerdd, dillad, cyfrifiannellau, a.y.b. Er y gwneir
pob ymdrech i ddod o hyd i eiddo a gollir, cynghorir rhieni
i yswirio yr eitemau hyn, o bosib, o dan bolisi eiddo
cartref. Dylai rhieni sicrhau y canlynol hefyd:
Gofal Bugeiliol
Cynlluniwyd trefn bugeiliol yr ysgol i ofalu am les pob
plentyn yn holl agweddau bywyd yr ysgol. Trefnir y
system o dan arweiniad Pennaeth Blwyddyn, sy’n
cyfarfod y disgyblion yn reolaidd i arolygu eu datblygiad
academaidd a chymdeithasol.
Cynhelir gwasanaeth wythnosol i bob blwyddyn a cheir
rhaglen fugeiliol yn ystod cofrestru un bore’r wythnos.
Trefnir nifer o weithgareddau’r Ysgol ar sail Blwyddyn.
(1) bod pob dilledyn wedi ei farcio ag enw’r disgybl
(2) bod pob dilledyn yn cael ei ddychwelyd adref yn
ddyddiol
(3) nad yw disgyblion yn dod â nwyddau gwerthfawr
i’r ysgol fel peniau drud, offer, oriorau, ffoniau
symudol, iPods, Chwaraewyr MP3 a gemwaith.
Salwch
Pan fydd disgybl yn absennol disgwylir rhieni i gysylltu â’r
ysgol rhwng 8.30 a.m. a 9.00 a.m. ar 01558 825939.
Os yw’n absenoldeb hir anogir y rhieni i gysylltu â’r ysgol
mor fuan â phosibl i wneud trefniadau ynglªn ag anfon
gwaith adre.
Os bydd disgybl yn cario swm mawr o arian i’r ysgol,
dylai ei gyflwyno fel y gellir ei gadw yn ddiogel. Mewn
achos o’r fath, dylid nodi swm yr arian yn glir ar yr amlen.
Byddwn yn sicrhau bod y swm a nodir yn cydfynd â’r
swm o fewn yr amlen, cyn derbyn yr arian.
Disgyblion sy’n mynd yn sâl yn ystod y dydd
Os fydd plentyn yn sâl ar ôl cyrraedd yr ysgol, gwneir
pob ymdrech i ofalu amdano/amdani. Os yw o fudd i’r
plentyn fynd adre, cysylltir â’r rhieni i ddod i’w hôl.
Mae angen rhif ffôn y rhiant yn ystod oriau’r ysgol ar
gyfer y fath ddigwyddiad.
Mewn achosion brys gall yr ysgol alw am gyngor
meddygol i’r ysgol neu gyrchu’r claf i’r feddygfa leol yn
Llandeilo. Mewn argyfwng lle mae angen am driniaeth
mewn ysbyty, gelwir am ambiwlans. Hysbysir y teulu o
hyn mor fuan â phosib. Gwneir pob ymdrech mewn
achosion o’r fath i sicrhau bod rhieni yn teithio gyda’u
plant i’r ysbyt neu’r feddygfa.
Mae’n bwysig bod yr ysgol yn ymwybodol o unrhyw
gyflwr meddygol, neu amgylchiadau personol, a allai
effeithio ar les a datblygiad addysgol plentyn.
Dylid gwneud hyn ar ddechrau eu cyfnod yn yr ysgol neu
wrth i’r cyflwr/sefyllfa ddatblygu.
Ymwelwyr â’r Ysgol
Polisi’r Ysgol yw’r rheidrwydd i bob ymwelydd alw yn y
Dderbynfa yn gyntaf. Ar gampws Tre-Gib mae cyfundrefn
CCTV yn atgyfnerthu ein hymdrech i wneud yr ysgol yn
ganolfan ddiogel i ddisgyblion ac athrawon.
Polisi Gwaith Cartref
Mae gan yr ysgol bolisi gadarn ynglªn â gwaith cartref.
Prif bwrpas gwaith cartref/astudiaeth annibynnol ydi:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Meddyginiaeth Disgyblion
Ni ddylai unrhyw ddisgybl ddod â meddyginiaeth i’r ysgol,
ar wahân i bympiau asma. Ni weinyddir unrhyw
feddyginiaeth rheolaidd gan staff yr ysgol. Mewn
Annog agwedd o hunan-ddisgyblaeth ac hunangymhelliant tuag at y gwaith.
Trefnu a chwblhau y gwaith a symbylwyd gan yr
athro yn y dosbarth.
Datblygu arferion gwaith da a sgiliau astudio
annibynnol mewn disgyblion.

Pupils’ Medication
No pupil should bring medicines to school, apart from
carrying asthma pumps and no medicine will routinely be
administered by the school staff. In exceptional circumstances parents should contact the school for advice.
Discipline –
What is Expected of Pupils?
Discipline is fair and firm. Pupils are expected to be
co-operative and courteous at all times. Ysgol Bro
Dinefwr prides itself on being a caring community where
the individual is respected and valued. A number of basic
rules are set out in the School’s Code of Conduct
which is displayed and made known to pupils. Failure to
co-operate in this common sense approach leads to
correction, e.g. explanation of what is expected –
appropriate warnings – detention at lunchtimes – to a
Headteacher’s detention on a Wednesday evening.
Parents would, of course, be informed by letter should
this latter sanction be necessary. Parents of pupils
reaching this stage in the disciplinary process should
regard it as very serious.
Leaving the school site during the day
Pupils who need to leave the school premises during the
day must have permission from an Assistant Headteacher
or their Head of Year. A note from a parent is required.
Absences
An absence is classified as unauthorised when a
pupil is away without the authority of the school.
An authorised absence includes those where the pupil
is unable to attend school because of, for example,
illness, family bereavement or religious observance.
In line with all schools in Carmarthenshire, holidays
taken during term time will be unauthorised. This is to
support raised attendance rates which are known to
improve standards of attainment.
During Academic Year 20121/2013 unauthorised
absences accounted for 0.35% of total absences.
The average attendance of all pupils in Years 7-11 was
90.24%. Our target for 2014/2015 is 92.5%.
The use of mobile phones during lessons is strictly
prohibited and discouraged at other times during the school
day. Inappropriate use of mobile phones, such as taking
photographs or recording video footage of others without
their consent, or bullying by texting or calling could lead to
the severest of sanctions.
The school operates a zero tolerance policy on the misuse of illegal substances. Failure to comply with this policy
could lead to permanent exclusion.
Personal Property
The school cannot be held liable for the loss of, or
damage to personal property. Parents are reminded that
neither the school nor the LEA takes out insurance for
items such as musical instruments, clothing, calculators,
etc. Though every effort will be made to find items lost or
mislaid, parents are advised that such items should be
insured separately probably under a home contents
policy. Parents should also ensure that:
Pastoral Care
The school’s pastoral system is designed to care for
each child’s welfare in the many aspects of school life.
It is arranged on a year basis under the guidance of a
Head of Year. Heads of Year meet pupils regularly and
oversee their academic and social development.
Each year group has a weekly year assembly and is
involved in a pastoral programme during registration one
morning each week.
A number of whole-school activities are also organised
on a Year basis.
(1) all items of clothing are clearly marked with the
pupil’s name
(2) all items of clothing are brought home daily
(3) pupils do not bring expensive pens,
equipment, watches, jewellery or other
valuable items, such as mobile phones, iPods,
MP3 players etc., to school.
Illness
When a pupil is absent from school parents are expected
to phone the school between 8.30 a.m. and 9.00 a.m. on
01558 825939. If there is to be a prolonged absence,
parents are urged to notify the school at the earliest
opportunity so that arrangements can be made for work
to be sent home.
If a pupil brings a large sum of money to school, then
this must be handed in for safe keeping. In such cases,
the amount must be clearly marked on the outside of the
envelope containing the money. The contents will be
checked against the amount indicated prior to being
accepted.
Pupils taken ill during the day
Where a pupil is taken ill after arriving at school, every
effort is made to ensure that he/she is well cared for.
If it is in the pupil’s best interest to be at home, every
attempt is made to contact parents to request that the
pupil be taken home. The school requires a day-time
contact telephone number in case of such occurrences.
In urgent cases the school may decide to summon
medical advice to the school or to take the pupil to the
local surgery in Llandeilo. In emergencies, where hospital
treatment is recommended an ambulance will be called
and parents will be informed as soon as is possible. If
hospital or surgery treatment is necessary, every effort
will be made to ensure that, wherever possible, parents
accompany the child.
It is important that any medical condition, or particular
personal circumstance which could have a bearing on
the well being and educational development of a child is
notified to the school at the time of admission or as
conditions/situations develop.
Visitors to the school
It is the school’s policy that all visitors must report initially
to reception. On the Tre-Gib campus a CCTV system
supports our efforts to make the school a secure
environment for pupils and staff alike.
Homework Policy
The school has a clear policy on homework. The main
purposes of homework/independent study are seen to be:
(a) Encouragement of a self-disciplined and selfmotivating attitude to study.
(b) Consolidation and completion of work begun with
teachers in class.
(c) Development of good work habits.
A HOMEWORK TIMETABLE IS GIVEN TO
ALL PUPILS IN YEARS 7-11

Gweithgareddau Diwylliannol a Chwaraeon
Yn ystod y tair mlynedd ddiwethaf mae Campws Pantycelyn a Campws Tre-Gib wedi cydweithio’n agos i gyfuno timau
chwaraeon, corau a cherddorfa, ac maent wedi bod yn llwyddiannus mewn sawl cystadleuaeth a digwyddiad.
Eisteddfod
Cynhelir Eisteddfod ysgol yn flynyddol i ddathlu Dydd Gﬁyl Ddewi, sy’n gyfuniad o gystadlaethau unigol a grﬁp mewn
amryw feysydd gan gynnwys adrodd, canu, dawnsio, a gwaith ysgrifenedig mewn amrywiol bynciau. Ceir cystadlu
rhwng pedwar tª. O ganlyniad aiff llawer o gystadleuwyr ymlaen i gystadlu yn Eisteddfod yr Urdd, yn lleol, sirol a
chenedlaethol.
Cerddoriaeth
Ceir darpariaeth wych ar gyfer Cerddoriaeth yn Ysgol Bro Dinefwr. Mae yna gerddorfa ysgol, ac fe anogir y disgyblion i
berfformio yn gyhoeddus. Aiff llawer ohonynt ymlaen i ymaelodi mewn ensemblau cerddorol lleol, fel Cerddorfa
Llinynnol Dinefwr, Cerddorfa Ieuenctid Ardal Caerfyrddin, Band Chwªth Synffonig Ardal Caerfyrddin a Band Pres
Ysgolion Dinefwr. Bydd disgyblion, hefyd, yn sefyll arholiadau ymarferol ac ysgrifenedig Bwrdd Cyfunol yr Ysgolion
Cerdd Brenhinol.
Gwasanaethir yr ysgol gan sawl athro teithiol sy’n cynnig hyfforddiant i chwarae amrywiol offerynnau cerddorfaol,
yn ogystal â gwersi lleisiol.
Cynhyrchiadau’r Ysgol
Dros y blynyddoedd mae’r ysgol wedi cynhyrchu nifer o gynhyrchiadau theatrig a cherddorol yn Gymraeg ac yn Saesneg.
Yn y diweddaraf, ‘Phantom of the Opera’, bu dros 300 o ddisgyblion yn cymryd rhan ynghyd â nifer helaeth o staff.
Bu’r hyder a enillwyd wrth berfformio yn gyhoeddus, ynghyd â’r sgiliau a ddatblygwyd wrth lwyfannu y cynhyrchiadau
o’r budd mwyaf i nifer fawr o ddisgyblion dros y blynyddoedd.
Chwaraeon
Mae’r rhaglen Ymarfer Corff yn amcanu ar ddarparu ystod eang a chytbwys
o weithgareddau i’r disgyblion a’r myfyrwyr, wedi’u threfnu mewn modd i
annog cynnydd ac ymdeimlad o gyrhaeddiad. Defnyddir gemau tîm ac
unigol i annog myfyrwyr/disgyblion i gymryd rhan ac i ddatblygu y sgiliau
hynny sy’n arwain i ffordd o fyw iach a bywiog. Mae Ysgol Tre-Gib yn meddu
ar adnoddau chwaraeon rhagorol.

neu’r Athrawon Chwaraeon.
Mae tîmau o’r ysgol yn cymryd rhan gydag ysgolion eraill mewn amrywiol weithgareddau ar y meysydd chwarae,
rhai ar sail cyngrhair. Dros y blynyddoedd cafwyd llwyddiant amlwg gan ddisgyblion unigol wrth iddynt ennill
anrhydeddau sirol, cenedlaethol a rhyngwladol mewn nifer o gampau. Rhoddir gwybodaeth i’r rhieni am yr holl gemau

Cultural and Sporting Activities
During the last three years, Pantycelyn Campus and Tre-Gib Campus have collaborated closely to form combined
choirs, orchestra and sports teams, and have enjoyed considerable success in several competitions and events.
Eisteddfod
A school eisteddfod is held annually to celebrate St. David’s Day. Inter-house competitions are organised for individuals
and groups in reciting, singing, dancing and off stage competitions are arranged in various subject areas.
Progression to local, County and National Urdd Eisteddfodau often takes place.
Music
Ysgol Bro Dinefwr has excellent facilities for Music. The school has an orchestra and pupils are encouraged to perform
in public. Our pupils have the opportunity to become members of local musical ensembles such as the Dinefwr String
Orchestra, Dinefwr Schools Brass Band, Carmarthen Area Youth Orchestra and Carmarthen Area Symphonic Wind
Band. Pupils are also entered for the practical and theory examinations of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools
of Music.
Several peripatetic teachers serve the school offering tuition in a wide variety of orchestral instruments as well as
vocal tuition.
School Productions
The School has over the years produced a number of major theatrical/musical productions in both Welsh and English.
The most recent, ‘Phantom of the Opera’, involved over 300 pupils and a large number of staff.
The confidence gained from performing in public, and the skills developed in staging the productions have benefited
a large number of pupils over the years.
Sport
The Physical Education programme aims to provide pupils and
students with a balanced range of activities structured in such
a way as to encourage progression and a sense of achievement.
Both Team and individual games are used as vehicles to
encourage pupils/students to participate and to develop those
skills conducive to involvement in an active and healthy lifestyle.
Gymnasium
Superb Sports Hall
Athletics Track
Football Pitches
Astro Turf Pitch
Grass Hockey Pitch
Netball and Tennis Courts
Rugby Pitches

All pupils take part in the Physical Education and Games programme. Where a pupil has a serious injury/illness or is
not medically fit to take part, contact should be made with the Headteacher/Sports teacher.
School teams take part in a large number of sporting activities with other schools, some on a league basis. Individual
pupils have also had considerable success in gaining county, national and international honours in a number of sports.
Parents are informed of all fixtures together with times of return to school (away fixtures) or end of game (home
fixtures) if after the time of departure of the school buses.
