Our Community
community links are important in Student development...
Pencoed Comprehensive School is a Community Focused School.
We build on close community relationships, whether that is through Friends of Pencoed Comprehensive or through our local senior citizens. We believe that building relationships with our community is very important.
We believe that community links are important for student development and that the community can also benefit from our involvement. We aim to build on close community relationships and initiatives already established as well as develop new links, particularly with local businesses and organisations.
Current school initiatives, either led by ourselves or in partnership with others, include the Senior Citizens Lunchtime Club, Project 1932 with Dr Louisa Evans, The Zone after school childcare club, and Keeping Up With Your Child Classes for parents. With the establishment of the Friends of Pencoed Comprehensive School in April 2011 the aim is to increase existing initiatives such as the regular boot sales held in school.
Our School
learn about Pencoed Comprehensive School, and what makes us different...
Pencoed Comprehensive School was opened in 1974, in purpose built accommodation. It is at the centre of a growing town and is fortunate to enjoy a large and attractive campus. The School serves a community which has seen major changes from the traditional industries of mining and farming to those of light industries and technology manufacturing.
Pencoed Comprehensive School is a mixed 11-18 Comprehensive of around 1100 pupils. It is located adjacent to the M4 motorway, but the area is semi-rural and in close proximity to the renowned Heritage Coast. Cardiff and Swansea are both easily accessible by road or rail.
