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)

I would like to warmly remind all parents and carers that our Open Afternoon is taking place today. This is always a special opportunity to celebrate the hard work, progress and successes of our children, and to see first hand the fantastic learning that has taken place throughout the year. The Open Afternoon will begin at 1.00pm and conclude at 4.00pm, providing additional flexibility for those who may find it difficult to visit during the normal school day. Please note that entry to the school site for this event will be via Gate C only, at the top of the hill. For safeguarding and site management reasons, all parents and carers must enter through Gate C only. Members of staff will be on hand at Gate C to welcome you and escort you to your child’s classroom. From there, you will be able to collect your child and spend time together exploring their work and achievements from across the year in classrooms and learning spaces throughout the school. If you wish to take your child home directly after the event, you must inform your child’s class teacher that they are leaving with you when you return the books / iPads to the classroom. If you do not wish to take your child home early, school will continue to operate as normal until the usual end-of-day times. Throughout the event, we will also be joined by a number of support and charitable organisations in the school hall, who will be available to discuss external opportunities and support for parents and carers. Our own Family Engagement Officer, Jade, will also be in the school hall and available for a chat. We look forward to welcoming as many families as possible today and sharing a wonderful afternoon celebrating another successful year at Penybont Primary School.  Thank you

On Thursday afternoon, in addition to the opportunity for parents and carers to look through their children's books, we will also be hosting a community event in the school hall. This event has been organised to provide support, information and guidance for families, bringing together a range of local services and agencies that work with children and parents. The aim of the afternoon is to create a welcoming and accessible environment where families can comfortably connect with services that may benefit them and their children, while learning more about the support available within the local community. Please come and visit these agencies who will be set up in the hall for the duration of the afternoon.  Please enter the school via Gate C on the hill!
