Adroddiad Estyn I grynhoi, canfu Estyn fod cryfderau yn St Brigid yn gorbwyso meysydd i'w gwella (yn nhermau Estyn - Digonol). Cydnabu'r Corff Llywodraethol fod y tîm Arolygu o'r farn bod llawer o agweddau ar yr ysgol yn 'dda' ac yn cydnabod y cynnydd a wnaed ers yr arolygiad diwethaf. Yn yr adroddiad mae'r Uwch Dîm Arweinyddiaeth a'r Corff Llywodraethol eisoes wedi nodi rhai meysydd clir i'w gwella er mwyn parhau i symud yr ysgol yn ei blaen ac edrychwn ymlaen at weithio gyda'r holl bartïon perthnasol gan gynnwys ein disgyblion a'n teuluoedd yn y flwyddyn sydd i ddod i gyflawni'r rheini. Diolch yn fawr am eich cefnogaeth barhaus. Tony Hannigan Cadeirydd y Llywodraethwyr ESTYN Report "Mae ansawdd yr addysgu yn cefnogi disgyblion i wneud cynnydd cryf". "Mae disgyblion iau yn gweddïo dros ddisgyblion hŷn sy'n sefyll eu harholiadau. Mae disgyblion hŷn yn gweithio'n effeithiol gyda disgyblion iau ac yn eu helpu i ddatblygu eu sgiliau llythrennedd a rhifedd". "Mae yna ystod eang o weithgareddau cerddorol a phwnc allgyrsiol a fynychir yn dda. Mae'r rhain yn cael effaith gadarnhaol ar ddatblygu diddordebau ac agweddau disgyblion tuag at ddysgu". Overall, many pupils develop secure reading skills over time. The youngest pupils use their knowledge of phonics successfully. They develop a secure understanding that texts carry meaning from an early age. The reading skills of pupils in Years 4-6 are developing particularly well. Nearly all can find information and ideas from web pages confidently, using different search methods, considering which are the most efficient. More able pupils distinguish between facts, theories and opinions and can compare the viewpoint of different writers on the same topic. As they move up the school, most pupils develop secure retrieval skills. "Mae gofal bugeiliol a'r ystod eang o weithgareddau allgyrsiol wedi datblygu ymdeimlad cryf o gymuned yn yr ysgol".

ST BRIGID'S UPPER SCHOOL Ages 14 - 19 Welcome to the Upper School information page. In Year 10 and 11 the GCSE courses begin and pupils have opportunity to seek careers advice and to focus on the choices available to them post 16, whether that be returning to sixth form or looking at possible college courses. ​ Historically St Brigid’s GCSE results have been the best in the area, these excellent results are attained through first class teaching and the good working relationships that the school fosters between pupils and their teachers. ​ At St. Brigid’s we also aim to provide a supportive and exciting sixth form experience, which gives students the opportunity to pursue academic interests whilst being guided by a team of excellent specialist teachers. Our school’s friendly and positive ethos enables young people to grow into adulthood with confidence and whilst cementing friendships. ​ The Sixth Form at St. Brigid’s is a time for students to develop a broader awareness and understanding of the world around them and how they play a part in shaping it. As a school with a strong faith tradition and ethos, we hold the concept of service in high regard and are deeply committed to helping our students to become compassionate and resilient leaders; we believe that young people have the potential to bring about positive change both within the local and global community. Our sixth formers are role models for the rest of the school and a particularly rewarding aspect of this is interacting with the younger pupils, further developing St. Brigid’s strong sense of community. GCSE LEARNING Students at St Brigid’s can study up to 12 subjects at GCSE. In designing the curriculum, the school aims to foster a broad and balanced choice of subjects to give our students the best possible range of qualifications at GCSE. ​ ​ Year 9 is where learners begin to make decisions about their future. They are asked to select from a range of subject options that they wish to pursue. These learning pathways allow students to specify areas of learning that interest them and may be important for their future careers. ​ Click the Learning Pathways tab to find out about what we offer out pupils. ​ ​ EXAMINATIONS ​ We aim to offer comprehensive support to your child with examinations. Click the links to download our revision guides and tips for those pupils taking exams. ​ Take a look at the presentations delivered at our Parents and Carers Workshop 'Help your child prepare for their exams' in April 2023. Curriculum & Learning Pathways Revision Planning Revision Techniques Parents Exam Workshop ST BRIGIDS SIXTH FORM Small teaching groups mean students learn to listen and present their ideas with thought and coherence, preparing them for university learning. Teachers also have flexibility to personalise learning, whilst nurturing students’ individual interests within an atmosphere of support and challenge. ​ We enjoy an academic tradition, with our students regularly accessing high calibre universities such as Oxford and Cambridge and the institutions within the highly competitive Russell Group. Alongside this, we also have a strong culture of creativity and enquiry, as well as a track-record of developing students as independent learners and as leaders. Many of our students go on to pursue careers in the creative arts and attend highly regarded courses, more recently at The Central School of Speech and Drama and The Arts Educational School, London, for example. All students are valued at St. Brigid’s and we are proud of all of our students fostering an atmosphere where everyone is valued for their individual strengths and talents. This is celebrated at the end of every year with our annual Prizegiving ceremonies. ​ As part of the Denbigh Consortium, we work closely with our neighbours, Denbigh High School in particular, as well as Coleg Llandrillo and Coleg Llysfasi. This is an extremely positive aspect of our sixth form experience as it enables students to access a broader curriculum offer as well as to make new friends. Our students enjoy the opportunity to take a subject at another centre and this is an ideal step towards preparing for Higher Education. 6th Form Consortium Guide Options A TYPICAL DAY A Typical Day: The school day starts at 8.50am with registration.

For any prospective candidates wishing to apply from other schools, they should do so through the school that hosts the majority of their preferred option subjects above (i.e. If two of the three chosen options from columns A to D are taught at St. Brigid’s School, the application should be made through St. Brigid’s School and vice versa.) All initial applications or declarations of interest must be submitted for initial planning by the end of Friday 24th March 2023. ** Level 3 Public Services Double Award - This Subject must be chosen in both columns A and B.

Caplaniaeth Mae gennym Bolisi Drws Agored yn St Brigid's. Waeth pa gam mewn bywyd yr ydym ynddo, mae angen rhyw fath o gefnogaeth ar bob un ohonom. Bydd llawer o fyfyrwyr yn defnyddio'r cyfleuster hwn i ddelio â phroblem neu geisio cymorth. Gellir disgrifio ein Caplaniaeth o dan y penawdau canlynol; Gweinidogaeth i'r myfyrwyr. Gweinidogaeth i deulu'r myfyriwr. Gweinidogaeth i bob aelod o staff. Gweinidogaeth i gyn-ddisgyblion. Gweinidogaeth trwy'r litwrgi. Trwy arwain a threfnu gweddi, myfyrdod a mathau eraill o litwrgi mae Santes Ffraid yn atgoffa'r myfyrwyr fod Duw gyda nhw trwy fywyd ac yn arbennig trwy'r flwyddyn ysgol. Mae'r Gaplaniaeth yn gweithio'n agos gyda phawb sy'n ymwneud â hyrwyddo "Nodau" Ysgol Santes Ffraid gan gysylltu'n agos ag Addysg Grefyddol ar faterion moesol yn seiliedig ar y persbectif Catholig. Yn y pen draw, mae'r Gaplaniaeth yn ceisio hyrwyddo ymwybyddiaeth o gariad Crist tuag at bob aelod o gymuned yr ysgol ac maen nhw'n gweithio gyda'i gilydd i gydnabod yr anghenion yn y gymuned a'r tu allan iddi, gan helpu ei gilydd i gyflawni geiriau Iesu Grist fel y'u hysgrifennwyd yw Sant Efengyl Mathew: "Arglwydd, pryd welson ni ti eisiau bwyd a dy fwydo di, neu syched a rhoi diod i ti? Pryd welson ni dy ddieithryn a gwneud i chi groesawu, noeth a dilladu ti? Pryd wnaethon ni ddod o hyd i ti'n sâl neu yn y carchar a mynd i dy weld ti? " A bydd y Brenin yn ateb, "Mewn gwirionedd rwy'n dweud wrthych, i'r graddau y gwnaethoch chi hyn un o lest fy mrodyr a chwiorydd, gwnaethoch hynny i mi". COLLECTIVE WORSHIP Collective worship within St. Brigid's is valued by all pupils and members of staff. Talking the time to reflect and celebrate helps children build social skills and strategies needed in future life. These services occur daily for all pupils in a variety of settings. Pupils have whole school, departmental and class assemblies. ​ ​ ​ This time is used to reflect on the moral teachings of The Bible, reflect on current events of significance to the pupils and support leaners with personal, social and emotional situations. Learners also take part in group singing, celebration and awards assemblies. All pupils also attend our school chapel weekly, for prayer and reflection with our chaplaincy team. They have the opportunity to take part in rosary each day. Pupils are expected to reflect and pray each morning, lunch and end of the school day within their lessons. The Memorare Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. ​ O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. Hail, Holy Queen Hail, holy Queen, mother of Mercy. Hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping, in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.

Croeso i'r 6ed Dosbarth yn St Brigid's Sixth Form Option Evening Information - Click Here Bywyd y 6ed Dosbarth Prif Fachgen Gwybodaeth am y Consortiwm Fideo 6ed Dosbarth HYSBYSFWRDD News Ein nod yn St Brigid yw darparu profiad chweched dosbarth cefnogol a chyffrous, sy'n rhoi cyfle i fyfyrwyr ddilyn diddordebau academaidd wrth gael eu tywys gan dîm o athrawon arbenigol rhagorol. Mae ethos cyfeillgar a chadarnhaol ein hysgol yn galluogi pobl ifanc i dyfu i fod yn oedolion yn hyderus, wrth gadarnhau cyfeillgarwch. Mae'r Chweched Dosbarth yn St. Brigid's yn amser i fyfyrwyr ddatblygu ymwybyddiaeth a dealltwriaeth ehangach o'r byd o'u cwmpas a sut maen nhw'n chwarae rhan wrth ei lunio. Fel ysgol sydd â ffydd, traddodiad ac ethos cryf, mae gennym barch mawr at y cysyniad o wasanaeth ac rydym wedi ymrwymo'n ddwfn i helpu ein myfyrwyr i ddod yn arweinwyr tosturiol a gwydn. Credwn fod gan bobl ifanc y potensial i sicrhau newid cadarnhaol yn y gymuned leol a byd-eang. Mae ein chweched dosbarth yn fodelau rôl ar gyfer gweddill yr ysgol ac agwedd arbennig o werth chweil ar hyn yw eu rhyngweithio â'r disgyblion iau, gan ddatblygu ymhellach ymdeimlad cryf St. Brigid o gymuned. Ms H Parry Hughes Pennaeth Cynorthwyol Mae grwpiau addysgu bach yn golygu bod myfyrwyr yn dysgu gwrando a chyflwyno eu syniadau gyda meddwl a chydlyniant, gan eu paratoi ar gyfer dysgu prifysgol. Mae gan athrawon hyblygrwydd hefyd i bersonoli dysgu, wrth feithrin diddordebau unigol myfyrwyr o fewn awyrgylch o gefnogaeth a her. Rydym yn mwynhau traddodiad academaidd, gyda'n myfyrwyr yn cyrchu prifysgolion o safon uchel yn rheolaidd fel Rhydychen a Chaergrawnt a'r sefydliadau o fewn Grŵp hynod gystadleuol Russell. Ochr yn ochr â hyn, mae gennym hefyd ddiwylliant cryf o greadigrwydd ac ymholi, yn ogystal â hanes o ddatblygu myfyrwyr fel dysgwyr annibynnol ac fel arweinwyr. Mae llawer o'n myfyrwyr yn mynd ymlaen i ddilyn gyrfaoedd yn y celfyddydau creadigol ac yn mynychu cyrsiau uchel eu parch, yn fwy diweddar yn yr Ysgol Ganolog Lleferydd a Drama ac Ysgol Addysg y Celfyddydau, Llundain, er enghraifft. Mae pob myfyriwr yn cael ei werthfawrogi yn Santes Ffraid ac rydym yn falch o'n holl fyfyrwyr yn meithrin awyrgylch lle mae pawb yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi am eu cryfderau a'u doniau unigol. Yn St. Brigid's, mae gennym ein Llu Cadetiaid Cyfun ein hunain ar y safle, sy'n caniatáu i fyfyrwyr yn yr ysgol hŷn gael mynediad at ystod o brofiadau ac ennill cymwysterau gwerth chweil ychwanegol o ddringo a chanŵio i farcio a hedfan. Mae ein myfyrwyr chweched dosbarth yn dangos arweinyddiaeth a menter yn rheolaidd trwy eu profiadau CCF, tra hefyd yn datblygu sgiliau gweithio mewn tîm sylweddol. Mae Cynllun Gwobr Dug Caeredin hefyd yn cael ei redeg gan ein staff ymroddedig ac mae hyn yn galluogi myfyrwyr i ddangos eu hymrwymiad i wirfoddoli a dysgu gydol oes, trwy gaffael sgiliau newydd, ynghyd â phenderfyniad wrth gwblhau eu halldeithiau. Fel rhan o Gonsortiwm Dinbych, rydym yn gweithio'n agos gyda'n cymdogion, Ysgol Uwchradd Dinbych yn benodol, yn ogystal â Choleg Llandrillo a Choleg Llysfasi.
