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)

Bridgend Schools Cross County Update for Pupils in Years 3-6 

Due to the the building works at Bryntirion Comprehensive School causing flooding to the school fields we have been asked to postpone our meeting at Bryntirion until the spring. 

Therefore the next event will be at PORTHCAWL Comprehensive on Saturday 22nd November. 

The same rules as always:

  • Arrive at 9:30am for registration .
  • There are 4 races starting with boys Year 3/4  then girls 3/4 followed by boys 5/6 and then girls 5/6.
  • The first race is 10am. 
  • Due to inclement weather we ask that you stick to the edges of the field and not walk on the pitches. 
  • No dogs allowed on site.
  • There is a chance of bad rain on Saturday. If this happens we may be forced to cancel and rearrange our races. This will be communicated via the Bridgend Schools Cross Country facebook page. 

Unfortunately, I am not available to attend the event as I am taking my daughter to a University Open Day, so parents will need to register with the event organiser on arrival.  If your son or daughter is going to run in the event, please ask them to see either myself or Mr Ashton prior to Saturday to get a Penybont running vest from us. 

Best Wishes,

Mr Owen

Have You got any Christmas jumpers your children have outgrown?

Our Parent & Carer Council would love your help with a festive idea, a Christmas Jumper Sale!

If you have any clean, outgrown jumpers, please send them into school with your child by Tuesday 2nd December.

We’ll be selling these pre-loved jumpers for just £1 on Thursday 4th December, between 3:15pm and 3:45pm in the school hall.

All money raised will go to Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day campaign, a great cause!

Thank you so much for your support,

Mr Owen & The Parent & Carer Council

🔍 Online Safety Reminder – Films and Media Choices We’ve been made aware that some pupils have been watching some films that aren’t suitable for their age. It’s important that children view content that’s appropriate and safe for their development. We recommend using Common Sense Media to check age ratings and reviews before watching. It’s a great resource for families to make informed choices and keep media experiences positive and safe. 🎬👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
