Welcome to Penybont Primary School

Croeso,

Penybont Primary School is a community primary school set in the town of Bridgend. We have over 340 pupils on roll, and we cater for children from the ages of 3 to 11 in our non-selective, co-educational, day school.

We pride ourselves on being a lively and exciting school for pupils and their families. We believe in involving parents in the education of their children and always seek to develop strong, positive relationships with you. We need your support, interest and co-operation to make sure that your child’s years with us are happy and fulfilling.

We are an extremely busy school and seek to provide many opportunities for educational visits and experiences that enrich the curriculum. In addition, there are many extracurricular clubs for the children to join as they progress through the school.

The positive ethos, excellent behaviour and committed staff culminate in excellent results throughout the school.

If you need it, there is also after school childcare provision (subject to available places) on site at very competitive rates. Children can be left with us for breakfast from 8.15am (free) and can be collected as late as 5.05pm.

Should you need to discuss any aspect of your child’s education please contact the school office to arrange an appointment with your child’s teacher or the Headteacher.

We will do all we can to ensure a successful education in the most important years of your child’s life.

Kind regards

Mr. P. Eyre (Chair of Governors) and Mr. R. Owen (Headteacher)

In response to the Cost of Living questionnaire that was completed by many of our parents and carers last term, we have now set up a General Pre-Payment Account on SCOPAY as an optional saving scheme. 

This means that you are able to make payments into this account on a regular basis or as you wish to help spread the cost of school events throughout the year - events such as trips, discos, cinema nights, Christmas Extravaganza etc. We estimate these events would cost APPROXIMATELY £60 per year per child. This account CANNOT be used for sponsored events, school photographs and for Christmas concert tickets. 

Refunds would only be made if your child leaves the school, balances can be carried over into the next school year and balances can be transferred between siblings.

To use this scheme login to your SCOPAY account,  add your funds to the General Pre-Payment Account on the home screen and once paid you will be able to see your balance. 

I hope this scheme helps and supports all of our families.

Core Purpose Ninja Tasks 

This week we are re-launching our Core Purpose Ninja Tasks which are 101 things to do before your child leaves Penybont Primary School.

This initiative

  • offers a wealth of benefits by connecting fun, memorable experiences to the Welsh Curriculum and the Four Core Purposes. 
  • fosters ambitious, capable learners through hands-on tasks that develop practical skills and creative contributors through teamwork and innovation. 
  • promotes activities linked to Welsh heritage, culture, and community, it nurtures ethical, informed citizens, while outdoor adventures and shared experiences support healthy, confident individuals. 
  • strengthens family bonds, builds friendships, and creates lasting memories, all while instilling pride in Welsh identity and equipping children with skills for life.

All tasks can be found on SEESAW - upload a photo or video as evidence of the task and staff will approve the posts once completed. The aim is that all tasks are to be completed over the duration of your child's education in Penybont. 

At the end of every half term Ninja Bands will be given to pupils - the more tasks they complete the more bands they receive.
