Participation rates are high in a wide range of clubs and activities including a range of sports and clubs such as British Sign (British Sign Language), board games and farming. The school ensures that all pupils, including the most vulnerable, have opportunities to participate fully in these activities”- Estyn 2022 Mae Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern yn ysgol gynhwysol ac mae ei pherthynas â’r gymuned leol yn rhan greiddiol o’i llwyddiant.

Os yw disgybl yn absennol o’r ysgol gofynnir i’r rhieni: If a pupil is absent, we ask parents to: • • • Hysbysu’r tiwtor dosbarth o unrhyw absenoldeb sydd wedi ei drefnu e.e. apwyntiadau deintyddol / meddygol.
