Rwy'n fyfyriwr PhD llawn amser yn astudio yn Ysgol y Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd dan oruchwyliaeth Dr Mark Connolly a Dr Charlotte Brookfield.

Ysgrifennaf atoch i ofyn a fyddech cystal â llenwi arolwg ar-lein sy'n rhan o broject ymchwil ehangach ar y cyd â Llywodraeth Cymru (LlC), yr Academi Genedlaethol ar gyfer Arweinyddiaeth Addysgol (NAEL) a'r Cyngor Ymchwil Economaidd a Chymdeithasol (ESRC) er mwyn archwilio dysgu a datblygiad proffesiynol penaethiaid yng Nghymru.

Yn benodol, mae'r arolwg yn ceisio pennu safbwyntiau penaethiaid dros dro a phenaethiaid presennol yng Nghymru mewn perthynas â'r gwaith o ddiwygio'r Safonau Proffesiynol ar gyfer Addysgu ac Arweinyddiaeth (2019) a sefydlu Academi Genedlaethol Arweinyddiaeth Addysgol (2018).

Ni fydd yr arolwg ar-lein yn cymryd mwy na 10 munud i'w gwblhau ac mae'n ddienw. Rhoddwyd cymeradwyaeth foesegol i'r gwaith ymchwil hwn gan Bwyllgor Moeseg Ymchwil Gymdeithasol Prifysgol Caerdydd. Bydd yr holl ddata a gesglir yn cael ei storio'n ddiogel a'i ddinistrio ar ôl pum mlynedd. 

Cliciwch y ddolen ganlynol i ddechrau'r arolwg:

Gellir cwblhau’r arolwg yn Gymraeg neu'n Saesneg.

Os hoffech gyfrannu ymhellach at yr ymchwil hwn, rwyf hefyd am gyfweld â phenaethiaid presennol neu benaethiaid dros dro o amrywiaeth o leoliadau ledled Cymru. Gellir cynnal y cyfweliadau ar Zoom ac ni fyddant yn para mwy na 60 munud.

Cysylltwch â mi dros e-bost: ellisg5@caerdydd.ac.uk os hoffech gyfrannu.

Os hoffech gael gwybod mwy am yr astudiaeth, cysylltwch â mi ar y cyfeiriad e-bost isod. Diolch ymlaen llaw am eich cyfranogiad.

Dymuniadau gorau,

I am a full time PhD student studying at Cardiff University’s School of Social Sciences under the supervision of Dr Mark Connolly and Dr Charlotte Brookfield.

 I am writing to ask if you would complete a short online survey which is part of a wider research project in collaboration with the Welsh Government (WG), the National Academy for Educational Leadership (NAEL) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) to explore the professional learning and development of headteachers in Wales.

Specifically, the survey seeks to ascertain the views of current and acting headteachers in Wales in relation to the revision of the Professional Teaching and Leadership Standards (2019) and the establishment of the National Academy for Educational Leadership (2018).

The online survey will take no longer than 10 minutes to complete and is anonymous. Ethical approval for this research has been granted by Cardiff University’s Social Research Ethics Committee. All data collected will be stored securely and destroyed after five years.

Please click on the following link to start the survey:   https://socsi.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3adRk8rowRyp3yS                   

The survey can be completed in Welsh or English.

If you would like to contribute further to this research, I am also looking to interview current or acting headteachers from a variety of settings throughout Wales. The interviews can take place on Zoom and will last no longer than 60 minutes.

Please contact me via email: ellisg5@cardiff.ac.uk if you would like to contribute.

If you would like to find out more about the study, please contact me on the email address below. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Bwriad Llywodraeth Cymru yw sicrhau bod pob plentyn cynradd yn derbyn cinio ysgol am ddim o fis Medi 2023. 

Rydym wedi cychwyn ar y daith ac mae Derbyn, Blwyddyn 1 a Blwyddyn 2 erbyn hyn yn derbyn y cynnig o ginio ysgol am ddim.  Rydym yn sefydlu Grŵp Gweithredu er mwyn sicrhau bod hyn yn cael ei weithredu’n effeithiol a bod unrhyw risgiau'n cael eu lliniaru ym mhob ysgol ar Ynys Môn.

Rydym yn chwilio am benaethiaid neu gynrychiolwyr i fod yn rhan o’r Grŵp Gweithredu. Os oes gennych chi neu gynrychiolydd o'ch ysgol ddiddordeb, gofynnwn yn garedig i chi gysylltu ag Angharadjones@ynysmon.llyw.cymru neu GethinJones3@ynysmon.llyw.cymru os gwelwch yn dda.  Rydym hefyd yn croesawu unrhyw sylwadau neu bryderon sydd gennych am y cynllun hyd yn hyn neu wrth symud ymlaen.

The Welsh Government intends to ensure that all primary school children receive free school meals from September 2023. 

We have started on the journey, and Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are now receiving the offer of free school meals.  We are setting up an Operational Group to ensure that this is implemented effectively and that any risks are mitigated in all schools on Anglesey.

We are looking for headteachers or representatives to be part of the Operational Group,. If you or a representative from your school is interested, please contact Angharadjones@ynysmon.llyw.cymru or GethinJones3@ynysmon.llyw.cymru.  We also welcome any concerns or comments you may have about the scheme so far or in moving forward.
