Our school is guided by our core values of Respect, Responsibility and Aspiration. They shape our classrooms, our wider curriculum and the way we work together as a school community. We are proud to offer a broad range of opportunities that enable pupils to discover new interests, sport, the arts, develop their critical thinking skills and leadership skills. We are proud of the achievements of our pupils and celebrate the diverse talents, interests and contributions that make our school such a vibrant place to learn.

At Treorchy Comprehensive School, we believe that outstanding education is built on strong relationships, high expectations and a shared commitment to excellence. Mutual respect, kindness, and high expectations underpin everything we do, helping our pupils become confident, responsible, and compassionate citizens.

Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to provide engaging learning experiences that challenge and inspire our pupils, while also supporting their wellbeing and personal development. We want every pupil to leave us equipped not only with excellent qualifications but also with the character, resilience and compassion to thrive in an ever-changing world.

I hope this website provides a valuable insight into life at Treorchy Comprehensive School and the many opportunities available to our pupils.

Croeso i Ysgol Gyfun Treorci

Braint yw arwain ysgol sydd wrth galon ei chymuned ac sydd â threftadaeth falch, ysbryd cymunedol cryf ac ymrwymiad di-baid tuag at sicrhau’r dyfodol gorau ar gyfer pob person ifanc. Rydym am ddarparu amgylchedd meithringar sy’n gynhwysol ac yn uchelgeisiol lle mae pob disgybl yn teimlo eu bod nhw’n cael eu gwerthfawrogi a’u parchu. Rydym am ysbrydoli pob disgybl i ddatbyglu’r hyder, gwybodaeth a sgiliau sy’n angenrheidiol er mwyn bod yn llwyddiannus yn yr ysgol ac yn y dyfodol.

Mae egwyddor yr ysgol yn cael ei seilio ar ein gwerthoedd craidd sef Parch, Cyfrifoldeb ac Uchelgais. Maen nhw wrth wraidd ein cwricwlwm ehangach, fel rhan annatod o’n hystafelloedd dysgu a’r ffordd yr ydym yn gweithio gyda’n gilydd fel ysgol. Rydym yn falch o gynnig ystod eang o gyfleoedd sy’n galluogi disgyblion i ddarganfod diddordebau newydd, chwarae chwaraeon, astudio’r celfyddydau a datblygu eu sgiliau meddwl beirniadol a’u sgiliau arwain. Rydym yn falch o lwyddiannau ein disgyblion ac yn dathlu’r talentau, diddordebau a chyfraniadau amrywiol sy’n gwneud ein hysgol yn lle fywiog i ddysgu.

Yn Ysgol Gyfun Treorci, credwn fod perthynasoedd cryfion, disgwyliadau uchel ac ymrwymiad gan bawb tuag at ragoriaeth yn sail i addysg rhagorol. Mae parch ar y ddwy ochr, caredigrwydd a disgwyliadau uchel yn sail i bopeth a bydd yn helpu ein disgyblion i fod yn ddinasyddion hyderus, cyfrifol a charedig.

Mae ein staff ymroddedig yn gweithio’n ddi-baid i ddarparu profiadau dysgu sy’n herio ac yn ysbrydoli ein disgyblion tra’n cefnogi eu lles a datblygiad personol. Mae’n hollbwysig i ni fod pob disgybl yn ein gadael gyda chymwysterau ardderchog yn ogystal â’r rhinweddau personol, gwydnwch a charedigrwydd i lwyddo mewn byd sy’n newid o hyd.

Gobeithiaf fod y safle we hon yn rhoi mewnwelediad amhrisiadwy i fywyd yn Ysgol Gyfun Treorci a’r gwahanol brofiadau sydd ar gael i’n disgyblion. Trwy weithio gyda disgyblion, teuluoedd, staff a’r gymuned ehangach, byddwn yn parhau i greu ysgol lle mae pob person ifanc yn cael ei ymbweru a’i ysbrydoli i lwyddo gyda’r sgiliau perthnasol i wneud gwahaniaeth yn y byd.
