                  Croeso i’r Ysgol Babanod Bryntirion

Bryntirion Infant School was built in 1955 and has been expanded as the community has grown. We are one of only two infant schools within the borough of Bridgend and are experts in early childhood education. We are a happy and friendly school that offers children between the ages of 3-7 years an exciting range of authentic learning experiences. I hope this prospectus helps you gain an insight to life at our wonderful school.

I am delighted to be the Headteacher at Bryntirion Infant school and it gives me great pleasure to provide you with an overview of our school as prospective parents…welcome! Selecting a school for your child is often one of the most difficult decisions a parent has to make. We want you to make the right decision for your child. Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions or would like a visit.

Our school is a special place for children and their families to feel part of a learning community and we are excited for the future. Our official opening was 19.6.56 and have provided a high quality education for over 66 years. We are an inclusive, community focussed school within the Bridgend Local Authority and serve the communities of Bryntirion and surrounding areas. However, we also have pupil attend from outside of the catchment, everyone is welcome! We have a mixture of mainstream and specialist classes. Our children learn in seven class bases and we currently have 130 pupils on roll.
