Brackla Primary School

Parents want the best possible start in life for their children and choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. All parents will understandably look for a school with the right mixture of high educational standards and an environment where their child can be happy, thrive and succeed. We believe that Brackla Primary is such a school.

Set on Brackla housing estate, on the outskirts of Bridgend town center, we are a lively and friendly school which aims to provide a warm and caring environment where everyone has the opportunity to shine. In partnership with the governors and parents, the staff work hard to provide opportunities for pupils to reach the highest possible standards in all areas of school life. The curriculum is rich, interesting and exciting, whilst always offering our pupils challenge. A wide range of physical and creative activities are enjoyed by our children. Pupils are encouraged to work from first hand experiences which develop their interest and motivate their learning by giving them a sense of purpose for their work.

As our pupils develop we encourage them to take responsibility for their own learning and in doing so become more independent in thought and action. Confidence and self-esteem is raised through success and praise for effort and achievement, developing a positive attitude to school and education. We are particularly proud of the way in which we meet the needs of those children who need extra help to achieve their potential and those that are more able.

We view education as a joint responsibility between teachers and parents. We believe that the best for your child can be achieved through a partnership between home and school. We hope that you will share with us in making this a successful period in your child’s education.

Brackla Primary School has an excellent educational and academic records and the dedication and hard work of the staff mean that each child was given the opportunity to develop to his or her full potential. However, education is not solely about the three ‘Rs’ and the schools fostered a sense of community both within and without the school. It can truly be said that Brackla Primary School is an integral part of the community of Brackla itself.
