On behalf of the staff and governors of Pencoed Comprehensive School, we are delighted to invite you to our Year 5 and Year 6 open evening on Monday 29th September 2025. The event will consist of an opportunity to meet the senior leadership team and key members of staff who will be supporting your child’s wellbeing. This includes Mr Thomas John who will be Progress and Wellbeing Lead for our incoming Year 7 learners.
It is nearly a year since we had our Estyn inspection of which we are incredibly proud of. Estyn noted that “Pencoed Comprehensive School is a caring, inclusive school where the well-being of individuals is prioritised, and diversity celebrated. A strong sense of community and belonging forms a secure foundation for pupils to learn, grow, thrive and flourish” We have no doubt that by spending time with us, you will discover first-hand how we support all learners to learn, grow, thrive and flourish in our school community.
We will be running two sessions which will involve a guided tour of the school site followed by an information session led by key staff.
- Tour one will begin at 4pm with the information session commencing at 4.45pm;
- Tour two will begin at 4.45pm with the information session commencing at 5.30pm.
On arrival to school for your booked session, please make your way to the Sixth Form block where members of our Sixth Form leadership team and staff will meet you.

We also often have many queries about whether learners are also allowed to attend – please be assured that we look forward to meeting our prospective learners and our staff have planned many exciting activities!
On visiting the school, you will receive an overview of transition events for the year some of which include:
- visits to the school in which learners engage with Areas of Learning Experience to support their learning transition;
