'Growing and Learning Together'

Welcome to the website for Rhydypennau School, Bow Street.

Rhydypennau School is located in the village of Bow Street some four miles to the north of Aberystwyth on the main road that leads to Machynlleth. The new school building was opened in 1973. A new extension was officially opened in November 2009.

The headteacher and deputy were appointed in September 2002.

At present, there are 185 pupils on the register.

The school is designated a Category A school. This means that, in the school’s life and work, Welsh is the main medium used but the school aims to ensure that pupils are totally bilingual by the time they transfer to the secondary sector.

The school aims at “Growing and learning together and developing every individual to his/her full potential in a happy and Welsh environment”.

We take pride in the high standard of achievement at the school and the wide range of extra-curricular activities is also important to us,with pupils experiencing success in a variety of fields from the Urdd Eisteddfod to various sporting activities.
