A short note to inform you that Councillor Dafydd Roberts is the new Portfolio Holder for Education and the Welsh Language.

Mae gofyniad corfforaethol i sefydlu’r lefel o hyfforddiant iechyd a diogelwch a gwblheir gan bob gwasanaeth/lleoliad (gan gynnwys ysgolion) er mwyn rhoi sicrwydd eu bod yn cydymffurfio â gofynion deddfwriaethol.  Mae’r cais gwreiddiol i gwblhau’r holiadur hwn wedi mynd allan yn ôl ym mis Ebrill - mae’r dyddiad cwblhau wedi ei ymestyn bellach i 01.07.23. Croeso i chi gysylltu'n ôl os oes gennych unrhyw anhawster.

There is a corporate requirement to establish the level of health and safety training completed by each service/placement (including schools) to provide assurance that they comply with legislative requirements. 

The original application to complete this questionnaire went out in April – the completion date has now been extended to 01.07.23. Please feel free to get back in touch if you have any difficulty.

Nodyn i’ch atgoffa am y neges yr anfonwyd allan ar 13.06.23 ynglŷn â “Defnydd cymunedol o ysgolion”.  Er mwyn canfod sut fath o ddefnydd gymunedol sy'n cael ei wneud o ysgolion yr ynys, gwerthfawrogwn pe baech yn dychwelyd eich ymateb i AddysgEducation@ynysmon.llyw.cymru erbyn 10.07.23 os gwelwch yn dda.

A reminder of the message sent out on 13.06.23 regarding "Community use of schools".  To find out what community use is like of the island's schools, we would appreciate if you could return your response to AddysgEducation@ynysmon.gov.wales by 10.07.23 please.

Ar 2 Mai 2023, cyhoeddwyd canllawiau diwygiedig ar bolisïau gwisg ysgol ac edrychiad ar gyfer cyrff llywodraethol.

Mae’r canllawiau newydd yn nodi y dylai ysgolion sicrhau bod trefniadau ar waith fel bod gwisgoedd ysgol ail-law ar gael i rieni a gofalwyr eu caffael.

Gall cynlluniau ailgylchu a chyfnewid gwisgoedd amrywio. Dyma ddolen i wahanol fathau o gynlluniau y gallai ysgolion ddewis eu gweithredu.

Revised guidance for governing bodies on school uniform and appearance policies was published on 2 May 2023.

The new guidance states that schools should ensure that arrangements are in place so that second-hand school uniforms are available for parents and carers to acquire.

Uniform recycling and exchange schemes can vary. Here is a link to some different types of schemes schools could choose to operate.

Nodyn atgoffa y dylid cyflwyno ceisiadau am gludiant tacsi ar gyfer Medi 2023 erbyn 14 Gorffennaf 2023 fan bellaf.  Noder efallai na fydd yn bosibl prosesu ceisiadau a dderbynnir ar ôl y dyddiad hwn tan ddechrau'r tymor.  Bydd rhieni sy'n cysylltu â'r Awdurdod dros wyliau'r haf yn gofyn am gludiant tacsi ym mis Medi yn cael eu cyfeirio'n ôl i'r ysgol.  Dylid cyflwyno ceisiadau drwy: Cais am gludiant ysgol.

A reminder that applications for taxi transport for September 2023 should be submitted no later than 14 July 2023.  Please be advised that it may not be possible to process applications received after this date until the beginning of term.  Parents who contact the Authority over the summer holidays requesting taxi transport in September will be referred back to the school.  Applications should be submitted via: Application for school transport.

Mae ambell i sylw/ymholiad wedi dod yn ddiweddar ynglŷn â systemau trydanol mynediad/allanfa adeiladau ysgolion (gan fod ambell i ysgol wedi gosod system ei hun).  Ar gais yr Adran Eiddo, gofynnwn yn garedig i chi gwblhau’r holiadur cryno iawn yma erbyn 13.07.23, os gwelwch yn dda.

Some comments/queries have recently arisen regarding school building entrance/exit electrical systems (as some schools have installed their own systems). At the Property Department's request, we kindly ask you to complete this very concise questionnaire by 13.07.23 please.

Efallai eich bod yn ymwybodol ein bod wedi cyhoeddi diweddariadau i’r Canllawiau i leoliadau addysg a gofal plant ar gynllunio at argyfyngau ac ymateb iddynt a Chanllawiau Parhad Dysgu yn ddiweddar. Mae hyn bellach yn cynnwys cyngor a linciau defnyddiol ar gyfer achosion colli pŵer, cyfleustodau neu dŵr yn annisgwyl a hefyd diwygiad o’r Canllawiau Tywydd Eithafol.

Fel erioed, ein bwriad yw adolygu a gwella'r canllawiau yn barhaus, a'n nod yw cyflwyno fersiwn pellach ar gyfer Tymor yr Hydref 2023. Byddai adborth ac awgrymiadau ar sut y gellir ei wella yn fuddiol, a hefyd yn helpu gyda chynllunio gaeaf 2023.

Byddwn yn croesawu syniadau ac awgrymiadau gan awdurdodau lleol ac ysgolion i helpu i wella'r canllawiau. Rwy'n ymwybodol bod nawr yn parhau i fod yn gyfnod prysur ac nid wyf am orlwytho pennau yn y cyfnod cyn diwedd y tymor, ond bydd sylwadau erbyn 14 Gorffennaf yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi'n fawr.

Mae'r tîm hefyd yn croesawu adborth parhaus, yn enwedig gan ysgolion sydd wedi defnyddio'r canllawiau cynllunio, a chyfleoedd i rannu unrhyw offer ac adnoddau arferion gorau.

Yn gywir,

Owain Lloyd 

Cyfarwyddwr Addysg a'r Gymraeg

You may be aware that we recently published updated Resilience Planning and Response Guidance and Learning Continuity Guidance. This now includes planning advice and useful links in the event of unexpected loss of power, utilities or water and refreshed Extreme Weather Guidance.

As ever, our intention is to continually review and improve the guidance and we aim to produce a further iteration for the 2023 Autumn Term. Feedback and suggestions on how it can be improved would therefore be beneficial, and will also help with 2023 winter planning.

We would welcome thoughts and suggestions from local authorities and schools to help improve the guidance. I am mindful this continues to be a busy period and do not want to overburden heads in the lead up to the end of term, but comments by 14 July will be much appreciated.

The team also welcome continuous feedback, especially from schools that have made use of the planning guidance, and opportunities to share any best practice tools and resources.

Yours sincerely,

Owain Lloyd

Director of Education and the Welsh Language
