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)

Important Parking Reminder We have received complaints from local residents regarding inconsiderate parking during drop-off and collection times, particularly vehicles blocking access to the alleyway on Minerva Street. Please remember that access points, entrances, driveways, pavements and junctions must be kept clear at all times. Blocking access creates difficulties for residents and pedestrians and could prevent emergency services from gaining access if required. The school does not condone or encourage unsafe or inconsiderate parking. We have already worked with the local PCSO, requested additional visits from the mobile camera enforcement van, addressed drivers when concerns have been observed, and regularly highlighted this issue in newsletters but ultimately we rely on every parent parking safely to help keep our pupils and community safe. We ask all parents and carers to park legally, safely and respectfully, even if this means parking a little further away from the school and walking the remaining distance. Thank you for your cooperation in helping to keep our children, families and neighbours safe. Mr Owen
