Pencoed Parent Teacher Association

Dear Parents and Carers,

Hand pointing towards reader, with text stating "we need you!".

Do you have experience of fundraising? Have you ever been involved in a school Parent Teacher Association or a fundraising group? Would you like to make a real difference to the student experience at Pencoed Comprehensive School?

The school governors are hoping to bring together a group of parents and members of the local community who would be interested in forming an independent fundraising group. This group would work to raise funds and seek sponsorship or support to help enhance the experiences and opportunities we can offer our students.

For example, this could include fundraising for sports equipment, resources to support school productions, or other activities that enrich school life.

This is a fantastic opportunity to meet other parents, become more involved in the school community, and help make a positive impact for our students.

If you are interested in helping to set this up, or if you have advice or experience to share on running a fundraising group, please email admin@pencoedcs.bridgend.cymru by Friday 24 April 2026.

Thank you for your continued support.

Kind regards,

Pencoed Comprehensive School Governors

Year 9 Stalls Support Local Charities

Just before the Easter Holidays, Years 7, 8 and 9 did an amazing job raising funds to support local charities.

Year 9 have been taking part in the FirstGive initiative this year, as part of their Humanities lessons. It aims to support learners to take part in social action, and support local charities. As part of the project, each class selected a charity to learn more about and raise funds for, including:

After last year’s success, Year 9 decided to hold another Easter Fayre, inviting Years 7 and 8 to attend for the morning. Each class had several stalls, offering a variewty of treats and activities, including brownies, waffles, ‘pin-the-head-on-the-celeb’, penalty shoot-out, rugby tackling, and jumbo connect four, to name a few!

There was a fantastic atmosphere in the sports hall, with all learners getting involved. As a result, over £1700 was raised for the charities; a phenomenal achievement.

We are also incredibly grateful to the wider community for supporting Year 9’s endeavours. From holding collections to donating prizes, their generosity made the Easter Fayre possible. We’d like to give a huge ‘thank you’ to all the businesses who helped, including:
