Penweddig was established in 1973 and is a Welsh community whose core values are based on mutual respect, honesty, and concern for others. The focus is on achieving each pupil’s potential and every effort is made to attain the highest standards of academic achievement for each individual. These firm foundations enable the pupils to widen their horizons so that each one can become a responsible and active citizen.
Welsh is the language used in the daily life of the school and the majority of lessons. Sustaining a Welsh ethos within the school, the local community, and beyond is a central part of the school’s work.
Another cornerstone of the school’s work and mission is the pupils’ moral, spiritual and physical development. The school upholds the highest standards of behavior and this is reflected in the pupils’ good behavior over the years. The school has clear and high expectations and the pupils and families recognize these and seek to support them. Supporting the work of charitable and humanitarian causes is a prominent part of the work and tradition of Penweddig.
On these solid foundations, the school prepares its young people to take their place in their communities, whether here in North Ceredigion or the wider world. Each individual is important in Penweddig. Each pupil’s development as a rounded individual is the focus of the school’s work.
Penweddig Comprehensive Community School is committed to supporting pupils and adults whatever their background, race, or sexuality. We will always endeavor to consider the opinions and wishes of everyone who is part of the school community and will challenge any practices or policies which discriminate between members of the community, challenge any practices which reinforce social stereotypes, or cause offense to any member of the community. We will always do our best as a community to make everyone who is part of the school feel comfortable so that they may get the best out of their education in an open, tolerant, and supportive environment.
