Cofion Cynhesaf,

Mrs Skevington (Pennaeth y Chweched Dosbarth)

A very warm welcome to the Sixth Form at Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni.

This is the only centre in the County where you are able to continue your education post 16 through the medium of Welsh.

Here you will find all the information you will need on a wide range of A level and BTEC courses that we offer. Each department have a presentation on the course content via a video link. You will also find written information on the course content and the assessment criteria. 

Before you begin, listen to my presentation on how to make wise and informed choices and a full explanation of the process. You will need a minimum of 5 GCSE grades A* - C in order to study A level, Level 3, Diploma or BTEC Level 3 courses.

I very much look forward to welcoming you into the close knit community of Cwm Rhymni's Sixth Form where you will be nurtured and guided every step of the way by a very experienced KS5 team.

Best Wishes,

Mrs Skevington (Head of Sixth Form)

• Dewiswch bynciau ry’ chi’n gryf ynddynt ac ry’ chi’n mwynhau.

• Peidiwch a ffocysu yn ormodol ar yrfa. Os dewiswch chi bynciau nad ydych chi yn gryf ynddynt nac yn eu mwynhau i ddiwallu gofynion mynediad, yna ry’ chi’n mynd ar hyd trywydd anodd a diflas. Ffocyswch ar yr hyn ry’ chi’n mwynhau ac mi ddaw gyrfa i ddilyn.

• Croeso i chi ddewis 4 pwnc ym mis Medi i roi cyfle i chi gael blas o’r pynciau. Bydd angen i chi benderfyn ar y 3 terfynol erbyn hanner tymor Hydref. Ni fyddwn yn medru caniatau newid pynciau yn dilyn hanner tymor Hydref.

• Derbyniwch gyngor gan benaethiaid adran a phenaethiaid blwyddyn sydd yn brofiadol. Mae pawb yma i sicrhau cyfuniad doeth o bynciau sydd yn debygol o’ch gweld yn llwyddo.

• Peidiwch a dewis pynciau yn seiliedig ar gylch ffrindiau nad ar sail hoffter neu beidio o athrawon unigol.

• Edrychwch yn fanwl ar gynnwys pob cwrs ar y wefan a sut mae’r cwrs yn cael ei asesu.

• Os nad eich cryfder yw arholiadau, yna edrychwch ar gyrsiau Lefel 3 sydd yn cynnwys 50% o waith cwrs.

• Nid realiti gyrfa yw’r hyn ry’ chi’n gweld ar y teledu!

• Gofynnwch am gyngor! Ry’ ni yma i helpu.

• Choose subjects that show your strengths and that you enjoy.

• Do not focus too much on careers. If you choose subjects that you struggle with and don’t enjoy only to fulfil entry requirements, then you are setting a difficult and miserable path for yourself. Focus on what you enjoy and a career will follow.

• You are welcome to choose 4 subjects in September to have a taste of each before deciding on the final 3 by October half term. We will not be able to change subject choices after October half term.

• Accept advice from experienced heads of department and heads of year who are here to ensure that you have a sensible combination of subjects that is likely to see you succeed.

• Do not choose subjects based on friendship groups or likes / dislikes of individual teachers.

• Look at the detail of each course on the website and how each course is assessed. If your strength isn’t exam based, look at some Level 3 options that include 50% coursework.

• The reality of careers is not what you see on television!

• Ask for advice! We are here to help.

Sixth Form Taster and Transition Day

Again this year we will be offering a Taster and Transition to the Sixth Day to give our Year 11 pupils considering their Post 16 route, a chance to get a taste of what is available to them at the Sixth Form at Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni.

Pupils from both sites are invited to join in a series of taster lessons on Wednesday, November 20th.

We will provide buses to bring pupils from the Gwyndy site to Gellihaf where they will have a day simulating a normal day in the Sixth Form. They will attend lessons of their choice and spend some time in the sixth form lounges as well as experience some of the other privileges of our Sixth Form pupils.

Last year the feedback to this day was extremely positive. We will share a questionnaire with the pupils before half term asking them to choose subjects Sixth Form Taste and Transition Day and Meet the Department Evening.
