Ysgol Gymraeg Gwynllyw
Ein hanes
Our history
Our history
Sefydlwyd yr ysgol ym 1988 fel yr ysgol cyfrwng Cymraeg gyntaf yn hen ardal Gwent. Am ei thair blynedd gyntaf, bu Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw yn hen dŷ Ysgol Fabanod Abercarn ond cyn hir aeth yn rhy fawr i'r adeilad. Fel un o'r ysgolion oedd yn tyfu cyflymaf yng Nghymru, roedd angen adeilad mwy ac felly ail-leolwyd yr ysgol sydd bellach wedi'i lleoli yn Nhrefddyn, Pont-y-pŵl. Addysgir disgyblion yr ysgol yn gyfan gwbl yn Gymraeg a dônt o ystod o ysgolion cyfrwng Cymraeg Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent a Sir Fynwy megis Ysgol Gymraeg Cwmbrân, Ysgol Panteg, Ysgol Bryn Onnen, Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Helyg ac Ysgol Gymraeg y Fenni. Y nod yw trochi disgyblion yn y Gymraeg a’u galluogi i gael eu haddysgu’n gyfan gwbl ynddi fel eu hiaith frodorol. Gyda thwf addysg Gymraeg yn lleol, adeiladwyd cyfnod gynradd yr ysgol rhwng 2019 a 2022 ac ers Medi 2022, mae Ysgol Gymraeg Gwynllyw yn ysgol 3 i 19 oed, yr ysgol bob oed cyntaf yn Ne Ddwyrain Cymru.
The school was established in 1988 as the first Welsh-medium school in the old Gwent area. For its first three years, Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw was in the old house of Ysgol Fabanod Abercarn but it soon became too big for the building. As one of the fastest growing schools in Wales, a larger building was needed and so the school was relocated and is now located in Trevethin, Pontypool. The school's pupils are taught entirely in Welsh and come from a range of Welsh medium schools in Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent and Monmouthshire such as Ysgol Gymraeg Cwmbran, Ysgol Panteg, Ysgol Bryn Onnen, Ysgol Gymraeg Bro Helyg and Ysgol Gymraeg y Fenni. The aim is to immerse pupils in the Welsh language and enable them to be taught entirely in Welsh as their native language. With the growth of Welsh education locally, the primary phase of the school was built between 2019 and 2022 and since September 202, Ysgol Gymraeg Gwynllyw is a 3 to 19 year old school, the first all age school in South East Wales.
