Welcome to Ysgol Golwg Pen y Fan

Welcome to Ysgol Golwg Pen y Fan a new chapter for our school community. Our school is the proud result of an exciting amalgamation of three well-loved, local schools, Cradoc Primary, Mount Street Infant and Junior Schools, bringing together rich histories, diverse cultures and strengths, and a shared commitment to outstanding education for every child.

This amalgamation reflects a vision of creating a school that celebrates the best of each community, while inspiring fresh ideas and setting a strong, unified foundation for the future.

The school will move to a new building located on the former Brecon High School site in the future, which will be jointly funded by the Welsh Government’s Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme and Powys County Council. A design team has been appointed to work with the Council on designs, and there will be opportunities for the school community to contribute to this as the design process moves forward. The new building will include accommodation for early years, additional learning needs and community facilities, and will be highly energy efficient, as it will need to meet the Welsh Government’s Zero Carbon in operation requirements.

At Ysgol Golwg Pen y Fan we prioritise each child’s well-being and development, focusing on nurturing confident, curious, and kind learners. Our teaching staff, drawn from across the three schools, bring an incredible range of expertise, dedication and a heartfelt commitment to ensuring every child feels supported, valued, and inspired.

As we continue our journey together, we’ve already started to collaborate, share skills and expertise that combines the strengths and values of all three schools to shape and develop our curriculum, vision and values.

We want your children to be prepared for the future with their academic success, social, emotional and life skills.

We are so pleased to welcome you to Ysgol Golwg Pen y Fan, whether you’re a current parent, a prospective family, or a member of our community, we invite you to be part of our story as we grow together and build an inspiring future.
