Mae Ysgol Gynradd yr Eglwys yng Nghymru y Santes Fair, Brymbo yn gymunedysgol cynnes, groesawgar a chynhwysol lle mae staff yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi a'u cefnogi i ffynnu. Rydym yn falch o'n hethos Cristnogol cryf, lle mae ein gweledigaeth - "Credu a Thyfu, Dysgu a Cyflawni, gyda Duw wrth ein uchr" - yn sail i bopeth rydym yn ei wneud.

Yn Ysgol y Santes Fair, rydym yn meithrin amgylchedd gwaith cydweithredol a meithringar, lle mae gweithwyr proffesiynol ymroddedig yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd i sicrhau bod pob plentyn yn teimlo'n ddiogel, wedi'i ysbrydoli, ac yn gallu cyflawni ei orau glas. Mae ein tîm ymroddedig yn elwa o berthnasoedd cryf â theuluoedd, llywodraethwyr a'r gymuned ehangach, gan greu ymdeimlad gwirioneddol o berthyn a phwrpas cyffredin.

Rydym yn ysgol gynradd glos (3-11 oed) sy'n gwerthfawrogi creadigrwydd, disgwyliadau uchel a datblygiad proffesiynol parhaus, gan wneud Ysgol y Santes Fair yn lle gwerth chweil a boddhaus i weithio.
