Croeso i Penmaes / Welcome to Penmaes

On behalf of our pupils, staff and governors I would like to take this opportunity of welcoming you to our website.

Ysgol Penmaes, situated in the Cathedral town of Brecon, is a busy, forward-looking school that provides education and specialist facilities for pupils with a wide range of learning difficulties.

The new Penmaes campus, which was completed in September 2006, includes a purpose built school, a 3 bed respite unit (Golwg Y Camlas) and a 6 bed residential unit (Golwg Y Bannau). These integrated facilities provide pupils with the very best learning opportunities and resources which support the school’s vision to become a Centre of Excellence.

We are committed to a “TEAM” ethos (Together Everyone Achieves More) which guides all aspects of our work. Learning Opportunities promote independence and ownership of learning, whilst encouraging and nurturing pupils to achieve their full potential.

I hope that our website gives you some insight into our work but having said this I would encourage you to visit our school as it is impossible to capture our ethos and unique character in words and photographs.

I look forward to welcoming you to Penmaes.

Ian Elliott

Headteacher
