Avoidance
Bullying rife. Avoid!!!

.......
From a parent's perspective, . I believe senior leadership should review the way decisions are made, how families are communicated with, and how concerns are listened to and acted upon. If you are an outsider coming into the area, it is easy to form opinions quickly based on the culture and experiences you encounter. Families' experiences matter and should not be dismissed.Enough said.

The only good thing was the cake
Ysgol brynhyfryd is awful. Sure some teachers are tolerable and get things done: somehow I miraculously passed my GCSEs from that godforsaken school. When they introduced the yondr pouch things in my last year, there came more bullying! a personal favourite of my year was pushing year sevens down a mudslide (roly poly) and shoving them in classrooms and locking them in there scaring the poor things. It was very easy to escape the chicken coop ran by the idiotic SLT team who happened to lock m...

Serious Safety and Safeguarding Concerns
As a student, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere. This school has demonstrated alarming failures in student safety and wellbeing: False accusations are allowed to escalate without proper investigation When serious physical assaults occur, the response is woefully inadequate (one week suspension for assault) Victim-blaming is standard practice rather than protecting vulnerable students Discrimination and homophobic incidents are consistently ignored Students are actively discouraged from challenging unfair treatment The safeguarding policies exist only on paper. When your child needs protection most, this school will fail them. The administration prioritizes covering up problems rather than addressing systemic issues that put students at risk.

Horrible school
After I reviewed the school with my experience, they shut down their reviews. To sum it up: I was bullied ruthlessly, daily, in Brynhyfryd. And while one can only blame the bullies so much, kids will be kids, the school did NOTHING to help. Every time it was that I had to be put into rooms, I had to be the one separated from the school because I was bullied. The bullies never got any repercussions besides one who had a single break time taken away. Then when I got into a fight and hit a Welsh s...

horrendous
horrible school, the bullying there is completely out of hand and the lessons are so so so disruptive, many pupils education has been ruined because of this school. they need to improve, the majority of the staff there are shit and should NOT be working with children, they scream and the top of their lungs at children give them red cards for absolutely stupid reasons. this school is unacceptable, so much homophobia and racism. children should not have to deal with that. it ruins peoples lives, o...

Brynhyfryd is a rubbish school
Rubbish school. They have very disruptive lessons and don’t do anything about it the teachers talk half the time about other things instead of actually teaching and the bullying there is awful and they do nothing about it but they keep saying they will but it never happens they just make every child miserable and expect them to work hard when they are really sad and no one listens to the children there even though it says no learning with out a voice on the stupid uniform and the school building is filthy and the B corridor rooms are all covered in layers of dust and filth and the walls are all peeling away and most of the bathrooms have kicked in doors and toilet roll everywhere and broken locks and they are working on some stupid new canolvan just so they can have a teachers lounge or something and they also took away drama but most students now want to take it because it’s a fun lesson but they clearly don’t care about anyone’s future at the school and they only focus on the people they like in lessons and don’t ever bother to try and help anyone else. So I think it’s safe to say that ysgol brynhyfryd is a horrible place that needs to be shut down it’s an awful school.

You make your own opinion.
I am a sixth form student in my last year in Brynhyfryd. I did years 7-9 and 12-13 in Brynhyfryd and in those three and a half years (three and a half due to covid) that I have spent here it's been a good experience. the lessons are fun, the teachers are nice and easy to work with and the support staff are very kind and helpful for the students. the one downside I would say (which is totally based on my personal experience) would be that as much as the support staff are lovely and helpful they are slightly understaffed with only around 5-10 full or part-time helpers for all the year groups. would I recommend it as a good school... I don't know. But this is my opinion. I would like to apologise for any grammar and spelling mistakes that i may have made.

Okay
Tbh, quite good. In terms of grades the school’s pretty good and there’s no denying that the teachers work hard but in terms of wellbeing it does feel like they’re doing it (literally) by the book, we get shown a five minute video on something like drugs and then the school will claim to “prepare you for the real world” although personally I don’t really care. They’re good at monitoring grades and progress and things like chair throwing and fights are rare. If you want to do all your subjects in...
