A big hello and welcome to Year 6 learners!


I’m Mrs Gottschalk and I’m Progress Leader for Years 7 and 8. I’m really looking forward to welcoming you to Ysgol Bro Caereinion shortly.


I’m sure you all have a whole range of emotions about starting with us in Year 7 - some of you may be nervous, others excited and some just a little unsure maybe! Please don’t worry! These feelings are completely normal and we’re here to help you. This website is here to try to answer some of your questions. If you’re still unsure, you’re welcome to ask any question on our ‘Pontio YBC 2024’ team too!


This is an exciting time for you, and a new start in some way for everyone. Make the most of each opportunity in school; the clubs, trips and extra-curricular activities, and you’ll soon see that Ysgol Bro Caereinion is a happy and friendly school!


See you soon!

Mrs Gottschalk

Amser cinio Lunchtime

Hand Drawn of Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Fel disgyblion, chi sydd yn dewis ble a beth i fwyta- unai dod â phecyn bwyd efo chi, neu penderfyny bwyta pryd o fwyd cynnes yn y ffreutur, neu prynu bwyd o’r neuadd. I dalu, mae’r ysgol yn defnyddio ParentPay i dalu am brydiau ysgol. Ym mlwyddyn 7, byddech hefyd yn cael amser cinio cynnar i wneud yn siwr bod chi ar flaen y ciw!



Rydym yn lwcus iawn o gael bod yng nghanol mwynder Maldwyn yn yr ysgol hon, felly fel arfer, gwelwch bod pawb unai tu allan yn chwarae ac yn cymdeithasu gyda ffrindiau, neu yn cael hwyl yn un o’r clybiau! Gyda Top Trumps y Dyniaethau, i ieithoedd a Minecraft... mae ‘na rhybweth i bawb!


Pan mae hi bron yn amser Gwers 5, bydd Doreen yn canu ei chloch i adael i chi wybod bod hi’n amser dod i fewn!

As students, you can choose to bring your packed lunch, or If you’d like a warm meal, you can go to the canteen or the hall to have your lunch. To pay, the school uses ParentPay for school lunches. As Year 7, you’ll also be let out of your lesson early for the first term to make sure you get to the queue first!



We are very lucky to be based in the wonderful Montgomeryshire countryside, so most days you’ll find all students socialising and playing outside for the rest of the lunch hour, or inside in one of our many clubs! With Humanities Top Trumps, MFL (MOdern Foreign Languages) to Minecraft... there’s something for everyone!


When it’s nearly time for Lesson 5, Doreen will ring her bell to let you know to start coming in!

Amser cofrestru Tutor time

You will see your tutor every morning for registration. They’ll help answer any questions you might have, help you fix any problems and help check you have everything you need and that your uniform is correct.


You also have a range of tasks to complete during form time, these can include;

-literacy tasks

-numeracy tasks

-Discussions about ‘what’s in the news’

-Discussions about ‘What we know about...’


At times, we may get us all together and have an assembly. This could just be for Years 7 and 8, or a whole school assembly with us all in the hall together.


When the weather is too bad to be outside, you will also use your form room as a base during wet break or lunch time.



Byddech chi’n gweld eich tiwtor bob bore yn ystod amser cofrestru. Bydden nhw’n gallu helpu ateb unrhyw gwestiwn sydd ganddoch chi, helpu gyda unrhyw broblem a gwirio bod ganddoch chi bobpeth sydd ei angen a bod eich gwisg ysgol yn gywir.


Hefyd, bydd amryw o dasgau i’w cwblhau yn ystod y sesiynau, er enghraifft;

-tasgau llythrennedd

-tasgau rhifedd

-Trafodaeth ynglyn a ‘beth sydd yn y newyddion’

-Trafodaeth ynglyn a ‘beth yden ni’n gwybod am...’


Weithiau, bydd y flwyddyn neu’r ysgol i gyd yn cwrdd i gael gwasanaeth. Efaillai byddem yn cwrdd fel Blwyddyn 7 ac 8, neu fel ysgol gyfan i gyd yn y neuadd gyda’n gilydd.


Pan mae’r tywydd yn rhy ddrwg i fod tu allan, byddech chi hefyd yn defnyddio eich ystafell tiwtor yn ystod amser egwyl neu cinio gwlyb.

os dw i angen help? If I need help?

Mae bywyd llawn dyddiau da, dyddiau gwefreiddiol, diwrnod pan ‘dech chi’n teimlo dipyn yn ych a fi, a diwrnodau pan mae popeth yn mynd yn anghywir.


Y peth pwysicaf i chi wybod ydy bod ni yn yr ysgol yma i’ch helpu bob diwrnod, i ddathlu efo chi ac i helpu pan fod angen.


Hafan ydy calon yr ysgol, mae hi yng nghanol yr ysgol ei hun ac yn wir yn hafan i helpu i ni edrych ar eich hol yma yn Ysgol Bro Caereinion.


Os oes gennych unrhyw broblem yn yr ysgol; rwyt yn teimlo’n sal, rwyt ti eisiau siarad â rhywun am rhywbeth sydd wedi digwydd yn yr ysgol neu mae gen ti apwyntiad gyda ymwelwr. Hafan yw’r lle i fynd!

Life is full of good days, amazing days, days where you just feel a little bit ‘bleurgh’ and days where everything just doesn’t go to plan.


The most important thing to know is that we are here for all of those days, to celebrate your successes and to help you when needed.


Hafan is our central point in school- it’s slap bang in the middle of school itself and it’s the beating heart of helping us to look after you at Ysgol Bro Caereinion.


If you have any problems in school; you’re feeling ill, you’d like to talk about something you’ve seen happen in school or you have an appointment with a visitor, Hafan is the place you need!

Ymddygiad Behaviour

I will have high expectations of your behaviour in your lessons and around school. If your behaviour or attitude falls below these standards, teachers will use our ‘levels’ system.


Your teacher will give you a verbal warning if you’re doing something you shouldn’t be doing. This means that they will tell you what they would like you to do differently. This warning doesn’t get sent home, but your teachers will most likely let me know that they’ve given you one.


Level 1 Your teacher will give you a level 1 if your behaviour doesn’t improve. This will mean that you will lose your breaktime.

Level 2 If your behaviour still doesn’t improve, you will move to a level 2. This means you will lose your lunchtime. If this happens, you will go to Room 30 when the bell rings at 13.15.

Level 3 If your behaviour continues to be poor and you aren’t letting the rest of the class learn, someone from Hafan will arrive to take you out of the lesson.


At 4pm, your parents/guardians will get an email to say whether you’ve had any Level 1, 2 or 3 during the day.

Mae gen i ddisgwyliadau uchel o'ch ymddygiad yn eich gwersi ac o amgylch yr ysgol. Os bydd eich ymddygiad neu'ch agwedd yn disgyn islaw'r safonau hyn, bydd athrawon yn defnyddio ein system 'lefelau'.


Bydd eich athro yn rhoi rhybudd llafar i chi os ydych yn gwneud rhywbeth na ddylech fod yn ei wneud. Mae hyn yn golygu y byddant yn dweud wrthych beth yr hoffent i chi ei wneud yn wahanol. Nid yw'r rhybudd hwn yn cael ei anfon adref, ond mae'n debyg y bydd eich athrawon yn rhoi gwybod i mi.


Lefel 1 Bydd eich athro yn rhoi lefel 1 i chi os na fydd eich ymddygiad yn gwella. Bydd hyn yn golygu y byddwch yn colli eich amser egwyl.

Lefel 2 Os na fydd eich ymddygiad yn gwella o hyd, byddwch yn symud i lefel 2. Mae hyn yn golygu y byddwch yn colli eich amser cinio. Os bydd hyn yn digwydd, byddwch yn mynd i Ystafell 30 pan fydd y gloch yn canu am 13.15.

Lefel 3 Os yw eich ymddygiad yn parhau i fod yn wael ac nad ydych yn gadael i weddill y dosbarth ddysgu, bydd rhywun o Hafan yn cyrraedd i'ch tynnu allan o'r wers.


Am 4pm, bydd eich rhieni/gwarcheidwaid yn cael e-bost i ddweud a ydych wedi cael unrhyw Lefel 1, 2 neu 3 yn ystod y dydd.

ein canmol? praising us?!

Rydym mor ffodus i berthyn i ysgol mor fach, lle mae pawb yn adnabod pawb! Felly, mae eich tiwtoriaid, eich athrawon a’r holl staff yn gwybod pan fyddwch wedi cael diwrnod gwych a dylent fod y rhai cyntaf i ddweud ‘da iawn chi!’



Bob dydd Gwener, bydd eich tiwtoriaid yn mynd trwy eich pwyntiau cyrrhaeddiad ac ymddygiad gyda chi.



Bob tymor, mae’n bosib ennill gwobr am y nifer o bwyntiau sydd ganddoch chi! Weithiau mae hon yn wobr unigol, weithiau mae'n gystadleuaeth dosbarth!


Gyda'ch pwyntiau cyrrhaeddiad, byddwch hefyd yn cael gwasanaethau dathlu, prynhawniau siocled poeth, prynhawniau sinema a disgos hefyd!




We are so lucky to belong to such a small school, where everyone knows everyone! So, your tutors, your teachers and all staff know when you’ve had a great day and should be the first ones to say ‘well done you!’


Every Friday, your tutors will go through your achievement and behaviour points with you. You’ll discuss what’s gone well and maybe what you could do differently the following week.


Every term, you can also win a prize for the most achievement points! Sometimes this is an individual prize, sometimes it’s a form competition!


With your achievement points, you also get access to celebration assemblies, hot-chocolate afternoons, cinema afternoons and discos too!

waith cartref? homework?

Mae Ysgol Bro Caereinion yn ysgol ddi-waith cartref hyd at flwyddyn 9.


Bydd gwaith cartref ond yn cael ei osod ar gyfer ymchwil ychwanegol bydd yn helpu i chi ddeall y thema yn well.


Yn lle, rydym yn disgwyl i chi ddarllen gartref gyda'ch teuluoedd, ymarfer eich tablau amser ar TTRock Stars ac ymarfer sillafu.


Weithiau, bydd athrawon yn gosod prosiect / gwaith cartref i chi ar thema. Bydd yr athrawon yn anfon cyfarwyddiadau clir i chi a’r teulu i wneud yn siwr bod chi’n gwybod beth i wneud!

Ysgol Bro Caereinion is a homework free school until Year 9.


Homework will only be given as an extra to help you understand a particular task.


Instead, we expect you to read at home with your families, practice your times tables on Time Tables Rock Stars and practice spellings.


On occasions a project / homework may be set linked to a theme. The teachers will send clear instructions for you and your family to make sure you know what you’re doing.
