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)

Recorder Amnesty Do you have a school recorder hiding at home? If so, we’d love for it to make its way back to the school office as soon as possible—thank you! And if you have any plastic recorders that aren’t school property and are no longer being used, we’d be thrilled to give them a new life in our music lessons. Your donations would be greatly appreciated and will help more children enjoy making music! Thank you for your support in keeping the music playing at school! 🎵

Dear Parents & Carers,  Happy New Year! Please find attached my latest newsletter.  Best wishes, Mr Owen  Added Note: In my newsletter, I have incorrectly stated that we have a 7 week half term followed by a 5 week half term.  It is in fact, a 6 week half term followed by a 5 week half term.  I'm blaming all this "6-7" nonsense that is going on!

Year 3 & 4 Concert Information Due to the bad weather, we will be opening the gates to the hall at 9.15 not 9.30. Unfortunately, we cannot open them any earlier as the pupils need a short run through prior to parents and carers arriving for the show.  We will open the gates for the afternoon performance at 1.30pm as usual.  Teas, coffees, hot chocolates and mince pies will be served in Mr Ashton's class, just off the hall, after you enter the school building. We look forward to welcoming you to once again.  Best wishes, Mr Owen
