Today 26 education professionals in Wales have been revealed as finalists of the fourth annual Professional Teaching Awards Cymru.


After what has been an incredibly challenging year for teachers, staff, pupils, and their families, it has never been more important to recognise the commitment and hard work of our education professionals across Wales. With the original ceremony postponed due to the pandemic, celebrations will now be held virtually on Sunday 29 November.


Over 100 nominations were collated earlier this year from pupils, colleagues, and parents who want to celebrate the extraordinary teachers in their lives. The nominees have now been shortlisted to 26 finalists across a range of categories.


The winners from each of the nine categories, including Pupil (or Pupils’) Award for Best Teacher and Headteacher of the Year will be announced at a special virtual ceremony on Sunday 29 November at 6pm. Schools, pupils, and families can support the finalists by watching the ceremony on the Education Wales Facebook page from 6pm.


The Pupil (or Pupils’) Award for Best Teacher, one of the new awards for 2020, will see a teacher or other member of staff recognised by a pupil (or group of pupils) past or present for the huge difference they have made to their life in school. The Headteacher of the Year award will go to an individual who is exceptional at their job, whilst demonstrating an ability to engage the school in the wider community and make a real difference for every pupil.


The Education Minister, Kirsty Williams, said:



> It has been an incredibly tough year for parents, pupils and schools across Wales, but the education sector has shown immense resilience.
> 
> 
> Determination and innovation have shone through this year and our education workforce have been working tirelessly to keep Wales learning. 
> 
> 
> It is a privilege to announce these remarkable finalists and to read their stories of hard work and commitment. This year, more than ever, the awards are a celebration of the finalists themselves and the schools, teachers and pupils they represent.
> 
> 
> I look forward to celebrating each and every one of you and thank you all for the spirit and perseverance you have shown through this tremendously difficult year.


To join in the celebrations, you can watch the ceremony from home live on Sunday 29 November at 6pm on Facebook and YouTube.

Heddiw mae 26 o addysgwyr proffesiynol yng Nghymru wedi’u henwi fel teilyngwyr yn rownd derfynol Gwobrau Addysgu Proffesiynol Cymru, sydd yn ei phedwaredd flwydd eleni.


Ar ôl blwyddyn hynod heriol i athrawon, staff, disgyblion, a'u teuluoedd, ni fu erioed yn bwysicach cydnabod ymrwymiad a gwaith caled ein gweithwyr addysg broffesiynol ledled Cymru. Gyda'r seremoni wreiddiol wedi'i gohirio oherwydd y pandemig, bydd dathliadau nawr yn cael eu cynnal yn rhithiol ar ddydd Sul 29 Tachwedd.


Derbyniwyd dros 100 o enwebiadau yn gynharach eleni gan ddisgyblion, cydweithwyr, a rhieni sydd am ddathlu'r athrawon hynod yn eu bywydau. Mae'r enwebeion bellach ar restr fer o 26 yn y rownd derfynol ar draws ystod o gategorïau.


Cyhoeddir enillwyr pob un o’r naw categori, gan gynnwys Gwobr Disgybl (neu Ddisgyblion) am Athro a Phennaeth Gorau'r Flwyddyn mewn seremoni rithiol arbennig ar ddydd Sul 29 Tachwedd am 6pm. Gall ysgolion, disgyblion, a theuluoedd gefnogi'r rhai sydd wedi cyrraedd y rownd derfynol trwy wylio'r seremoni ar dudalen Facebook Addysg Cymru o 6pm.


Bydd Gwobr y Disgybl (neu'r Disgyblion) am yr Athro Gorau, un o'r gwobrau newydd ar gyfer 2020, yn gweld athro neu aelod arall o staff yn cael ei gydnabod gan ddisgybl (neu grŵp o ddisgyblion) yn y gorffennol neu'r presennol am y gwahaniaeth enfawr y maent wedi'i wneud i’w bywyd yn yr ysgol. Bydd gwobr Pennaeth y Flwyddyn yn mynd i unigolyn sy'n eithriadol yn ei swydd, wrth ddangos y gallu i gynnwys yr ysgol yn y gymuned ehangach a gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i bob disgybl.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Addysg, Kirsty Williams:



> Mae wedi bod yn flwyddyn eithriadol o anodd i rieni, disgyblion ac ysgolion ledled Cymru, ond mae'r sector addysg wedi dangos gwytnwch aruthrol.
> 
> 
> Mae penderfyniad ac arloesedd wedi disgleirio eleni ac mae ein gweithlu addysg wedi bod yn gweithio’n ddiflino i gadw Cymru i ddysgu.
> 
> 
> Mae’n fraint cyhoeddi’r rhai a gyrhaeddodd y rownd derfynol hynod hon a darllen eu straeon am waith caled ac ymrwymiad. Eleni, yn fwy nag erioed, mae'r gwobrau'n ddathliad o'r rhai a gyrhaeddodd y rownd derfynol eu hunain a'r ysgolion, yr athrawon a'r disgyblion y maent yn eu cynrychioli.
> 
> 
> Edrychaf ymlaen at ddathlu pob un ohonoch a diolch i chi i gyd am yr ysbryd a'r dyfalbarhad rydych chi wedi'i ddangos trwy'r flwyddyn aruthrol anodd hon.


I ymuno yn y dathliadau, gallwch wylio'r seremoni gartref yn fyw ar ddydd Sul 29 Tachwedd am 6pm trwy fynd i Facebook neu YouTube.
