Year 11 pupils trying to make earthquake proof structures using spaghetti and marshmallows last night before open evening. Brilliant stuff! @1Penydre

I am so PROUD of my year 11 geographers and the results they achieved today. A truly wonderful class who I am really going to miss teaching! Wishing them all the luck for their futures 🩷🌏🙌🏻 #TeamPYD @1Penydre @penydreRE

A fab turn out for year 11 geography revision today! I suppose it does help when you promise them pizza for their hard work… 😅 🍕#TeamPYD @penydreRE @1Penydre

Promised my year 11 Geography class McFlurry’s so had to deliver! Lovely day for it! ❄️🍦@1Penydre @penydreRE

Just another example of how lovely our students are at @1Penydre. Our fabulous History teacher and head of year 9, Miss Howell, is going to be going on maternity leave soon and a group of year 9 girls have gotten together to give her a proper send off. @MissClarkeRE @penydreRE

Being a form tutor is definitely one of the things I enjoy most about teaching. Showing some appreciation and have spent my Sunday making sweet bags for them to enjoy. Last week of term treats!🍬🍫🍭 #TeamPYD @1Penydre

It wouldn’t be a geography field trip without a little rain… so proud of my year 10 students today. Collecting data for their NEA and they were amazing! 🌧️ 🤩 @penydreRE @1Penydre

Congratulations to Ruby from Pen Y Dre High School as the winner of the YST Physical & Mental Health Award – Individual. Have a look at Ruby’s involvement in Active in Mind and her journey. #YoungChangemaker

Year 10 GCSE geography were learning about drainage basins today. They then created their own pop up versions which were a success! 👍🏻

End of term treats for my form class! I cannot wait to see them all the way through to year 11, being a form tutor is so rewarding 🥰

Geography set up for open evening last week. Was great to have pupils work on display as well as some lovely pupils who shared what they like about geography! There was also a game we called ‘where in the world’. I hope year 4/5/6 enjoyed 🌎🌍🌏 @1Penydre

What a fabulous send off for our year 11 students today. Good luck to each and everyone one of you, remember you can achieve anything you set your mind to! #TeamPYD 🤩

Open Evening 2022

The garden before, during and after our eco-club members got their hands on it and brought it back to life. I was very happy to see that bees were enjoying the garden today too! 🐝 🌿🌸 @PYD_ARTofficial @1Penydre #ecoclub #savethebees

Good luck to our Yr11 pupils who start their GCSE EXAMS tomorrow. Remember to eat breakfast. Drink lots of water. And to breathe. Keep the monkey in the cage. Breathe and be calm and the knowledge will come out
