Bryn Hafren Comprehensive School
The school's catchment area is the Vale of Glamorgan, stretching from Rhoose in the west to Wenvoe in the north, and to Ely in west Cardiff, with the town of Barry in the centre.
History
When comprehensive schools were introduced to Barry in September 1966, this was delayed for girls because of the lack of buildings. Bryn Hafren Comprehensive School opened as the comprehensive school for girls in 1973.
In 1993, Barry Sixth Form, a joint sixth form with Barry Boys' Comprehensive School was created.
In 2018, the school became Pencoedtre High School and became a mixed-gender school.
Facilities
The school ground covers 36 acres (150,000 m), with sports fields, tennis courts, a gymnasium, a swimming pool and a recently developed fitness gym.
The school also houses a dedicated 6th form block and over 14 networked computer rooms.
