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 rydych chi’n gryf ynddynt ac ry’dych 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 rydych chi’n gweld ar y teledu!

• Gofynnwch am gyngor! Rydyn 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.
