Gyda balchder a phleser mawr rydym yn cyflwyno Ysgol Rhiwabon. Mae'r flwyddyn academaidd 2025 yn flwyddyn arbennig i'r ysgol wrth i ni ddathlu ei phen-blwydd yn 450 oed.

Rydym yn ysgol ofalgar a theuluol gyda chysylltiadau cymunedol gwych â Rhiwabon a'r pentrefi cyfagos. Mae gan Ysgol Rhiwabon dreftadaeth falch, sy'n rhoi'r sylfeini cadarn sydd eu hangen arnom i ddatblygu'r bobl ifanc yn ein gofal. Ar yr un pryd, rydym yn ysgol fodern ac arloesol sydd yn cynnig llawer o brofiadau dysgu cyffrous i'n myfyrwyr. Rydym yn adolygu'r ddarpariaeth yn barhaus i sicrhau ein bod yn diwallu anghenion ein dysgwyr i gyd.

Mae gennym staff gofalgar a gweithgar iawn yn Ysgol Rhiwabon ac mae pobl sy'n ymweld â'n hysgol yn gwneud sylwadau'n aml am yr awyrgylch tawel, hapus a theuluol lle mae safonau gwisg ysgol ac ymddygiad yn uchel a lle mae ein pobl ifanc yn cael eu cefnogi a'u herio i fod y gorau y gallant fod.

Ddwy flynedd yn ôl, ym mis Mawrth 2023, dyfarnwyd y wobr 'Ysgol y Flwyddyn' i Ysgol Rhiwabon fel rhan o Wobrau Addysg y Leader.

Rydym yn parhau i fod yn un o'r ychydig ysgolion o Gymru yn y Sefydliad Addysgu Proffesiynol, sy'n cynnig hyfforddiant rhagorol i'n staff a'n myfyrwyr. Gofynnir i ni'n rheolaidd fynd â myfyrwyr o'n hysgol i siarad ag athrawon o bob cwr o'r DU ac maen nhw wedi ymddangos mewn cyhoeddiadau cenedlaethol, gan wneud sylwadau ar addysgu ysbrydoledig. Mae staff o'n hysgol hefyd yn gweithio fel ymgynghorwyr i'r Sefydliad Addysgu Proffesiynol. Mae hyn yn cadw Ysgol Rhiwabon ar flaen y gad o ran arfer gorau ledled y DU.

School Environment

It is with great pride and pleasure we introduce Ysgol Rhiwabon. This academic year 2025 is a special year for the school as we celebrate its 450th Birthday.

We are a caring, family school with excellent community links with Ruabon and its surrounding villages. Ysgol Rhiwabon has a proud heritage, which provides us with the firm foundations we need to develop the youngsters in our care. At the same time, we are a modern, innovative school with lots of exciting learning experiences available for our students. We continually review provision to ensure that we meet the needs of all our learners.

We have a very caring, hardworking staff in Ysgol Rhiwabon and visitors to our school comment regularly on the calm, happy, family atmosphere where standards of uniform and behaviour are high and where our young people are supported and challenged to be the very best they can be.

Just two years ago, in March 2023 Ysgol Rhiwabon was awarded the 'School of the Year' Award as part of the Leader Education Awards. This recognised the school's academic successes alongside its focus on the wellbeing of the students and the contribution the school makes to its local and wider community. In addition, Ysgol Rhiwabon had an Estyn Inspection in February/March 2023 with very positive outcomes.

"Ysgol Rhiwabon is a caring and inclusive school, which strives to support its students to 'Succeed with Soul' and to develop both academically and personally". (Estyn 2023)

We continue to be one of few schools in Wales in the Professional Teaching Institute, which involves our staff and students in outstanding training. We are regularly asked to take students from our school to talk to teachers from across the UK and they have featured in national publications, commenting on inspirational teaching. Staff from our school also work as consultants for the Professional Teaching Institute. This keeps Ysgol Rhiwabon at the forefront of best practice across the UK.

Our Primary transition programme has developed significantly in recent years, it has received glowing feedback from parents and the youngsters involved. Estyn recognised the school's work with Year 6 and 7 as a key strength of the school, commenting on the warm welcome and safe culture established for our younger members of the school community, including our exciting SWAN Transition Project.

In recent times, our school has improved in so many ways, modernising and responding to the many changes, which face our staff every year. Ysgol Rhiwabon is founded on strong traditional values, and it is this, which will lead to our continued success in the future.

We would encourage you to visit Ysgol Rhiwabon. You will receive a very warm welcome and we will be proud to show you our school in operation.
