Ysgol Bro Hyddgen

Ysgol Bro Hyddgen is a bilingual, all-age (4-19) school located in Machynlleth, Powys, United Kingdom. It was established in 2014 through the merger of Machynlleth C.P. School and Ysgol Bro Ddyfi secondary school. The school is named after 'Hyddgen,' the site of Owain Glyndŵr's first battle victory in 1401, near Machynlleth. It serves a diverse student body with approximately 38% coming from Welsh-speaking homes and 44% fluent in Welsh, reflecting its bilingual curriculum. The school offers education from nursery through sixth form, emphasizing a progressive and inspirational learning environment. The school is undergoing a redevelopment project to replace its existing buildings with a new 540-place all-age facility, including early years, primary, secondary, and post-16 education spaces, alongside community and wellbeing facilities. The new building is designed with sustainable Passivhaus principles and includes modern amenities such as a 3G pitch and potentially a public library space. This redevelopment aims to enhance the educational experience and community engagement in Machynlleth.
