About Us
Mae Ysgol Maelor yn ysgol gyfun sy'n perfformio'n uchel yn gyson, sy'n croesawu disgyblion rhwng 11 a 18 oed. Er bod llawer o'n disgyblion yn dod o'r pentrefi cyfagos o amgylch Penley, mae eraill yn dewis teithio o bob rhan o Wrecsam, Swydd Amwythig a Swydd Gaer i brofi ein cymuned gynnes, agos mewn lleoliad gwledig hardd.

Sefydlwyd ein hysgol ym mhentref bach Penley ym 1957, mewn tir helaeth mewn sefyllfa wledig hardd. Mae pum math mynediad (tua 130 o ddisgyblion bob blwyddyn) sy'n rhoi cyfanswm o tua 810, gan gynnwys y Chweched Dosbarth o tua 160 o fyfyrwyr.

Rydym yn dal ein disgyblion i safonau uchel iawn: disgwyl iddynt weithio'n galed, ymddwyn yn barchus, a chyflwyno eu hunain yn glyfar. Er ein bod yn falch o'n henw da hirsefydlog am ragoriaeth academaidd, credwn fod addysg yn ymwneud â mwy na chanlyniadau yn unig. Ein cenhadaeth yw helpu ein disgyblion i ddarganfod a meithrin eu doniau unigryw wrth ddatblygu'r sgiliau sy'n angenrheidiol ar gyfer llwyddiant mewn bywyd oedolion. Rydym yn annog ac yn cefnogi ein disgyblion i fod y fersiynau gorau ohonynt eu hunain a gwneud dewisiadau yn unol â'n gwerthoedd craidd: Parch, Gwydnwch a Pherthnasoedd.

Mae pawb sy'n gysylltiedig ag Ysgol Maelor yn ymfalchïo yn ein cymuned. Fe welwch staff hapus, ymdeimlad gwych o waith tîm ac ymrwymiad i ddatblygu cydweithwyr ar bob lefel.
