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)

Dear Parents & Carers,  As we head into a week of exceptionally hot weather, I want to reassure you that our pupils' safety and comfort remain our top priorities.  As you may be aware, temperatures are expected to reach around 33°C today, and Red Extreme Heat Warnings have been issued for Wednesday and Thursday. School will remain open as normal today, with heat mitigation measures in place. While we are aware of speculation regarding potential closures later in the week, no official decision has been made for Wednesday or Thursday yet.  We are currently reviewing the situation in line with the latest Welsh Government guidance and are awaiting advice from the local authority.  We will update you with a definitive decision as soon as possible, and I thank you for your continued support and understanding. Mr Owen
