Wrth edrych ar y flwyddyn i ddeunaw mis diwethaf, mae’n anodd meddwl am gyfnod mwy heriol. Ac i ysgolion rwy'n credu mai'r tymor olaf yn arbennig fu'r anoddaf mewn sawl ffordd. Mae cyd-destun cyffredinol cyfraddau uchel trosglwyddiad covid yn y gymuned a’r rhaglen frechu ar y naill law, ynghyd â'r awydd rydyn ni’n ei rannu i wneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i gadw ein hysgolion ar agor ar y llaw arall, wedi golygu amgylchiadau anodd, y tu hwnt i ddychymyg, mewn llawer o'n hysgolion.
In looking at the last year to eighteen months, I cant think of a more challenging time. And for schools I think the last term in particular has in many ways been the most difficult. The overall context of high rates of community transmission of covid, the protections of the vaccination programme on the one hand coupled with our shared desire to do all we can to keep our schools open on the other, has presented unimaginably difficult circumstances in many of our schools.
