About the School
Thank you very much for showing an interest in the post of Science teacher at Ysgol Bro Pedr.
The school is proud to be one of the first 3–19 schools in Wales, and to be breaking new ground in providing lifelong education for our learners. Ysgol Bro Pedr is the result of the merger of two former schools, namely Ysgol Gynradd Ffynnonbedr and Ysgol Gyfun Llanbedr Pont Steffan. Ysgol Bro Pedr was last successfully inspected by Estyn in May 2025.
There are 960 pupils at the school (321 pupils, Nursery–Year 6) and 639 pupils in Years 7–13, including 134 in the Sixth Form.
The school caters for the full range of abilities. The school population profile is cosmopolitan, including native Welsh pupils from Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire, a high percentage of Welsh speakers from English-speaking backgrounds, a growing number of pupils who are late arrivals to the area and the school, and a significant proportion of pupils from Poland and Romania, with a smaller number from Malaysia and China.
Canolfan Y Bont, a county resource for secondary-age pupils with a range of additional needs (ASD, SLD, PMLD, MSI), is located on the school site. The centre is a fully integrated part of the school, and the pupils are on the roll of Ysgol Bro Pedr. In addition, a Life Skills Unit has been established to cater for pupils with moderate additional learning needs and pupils who are behaviourally vulnerable, and it provides continuity and progression for some pupils from Canolfan Y Bont where appropriate and practical.
