- After several years of effort on the part of the District Education Committee and Secondary School Governors, the Local Education Committee and the Ministry of Education were persuaded to provide a new Comprehensive School at Brynmawr. A site was found with adequate playing fields and a new school building was erected. On Wednesday 18th November 1964 the school was officially opened by Alderman T. Rowley Jones when the Grammar and Modern Departments of the Bilateral School were brought under one roof in the new premises at the Rhydw. Its purpose was and is steadfast and continuous and ‘to be of inestimable benefit’ to many generations. We are the only foundation school in South East Wales. The school has existed for over 50 years and we are proud of our traditional values which we combine with modern technology and approaches to teaching. Our school was established for those families who wish their children to achieve the highest possible academic standards within a strong and well-established ethos of hard work leading to academic reward. In practice, this means our students achieve highly, they develop into wonderful, courteous, caring young adults who understand the importance of mutual respect, tolerance, and their future contribution to our world as global citizens. In short, this is summarised by our motto “Aspiration Application Achievement” It is my firm belief that the best education combines high standards of academic achievement with strong moral guidance. Education should provide opportunities for every individual child to succeed in a variety of ways, preparing young people for a future in which they can thrive in their chosen career paths in addition to becoming responsible, caring citizens. Furthermore, we believe that learning should be fun, students should feel happy and safe and every individual should experience success. We work hard at Brynmawr Foundation School to achieve this for our students. Our Staff and pupils are proud of our school, its all-around high standards and its strong emphasis on personal development. It offers families the opportunity of an exceptional education within a strong, moral context. We believe children deserve the best education possible and values that prepare them for the future. We are committed to providing both. View full school
