"Without the support from my amazing teachers and peers at Bryngwyn there’s no doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t be where I am today. Bryngwyn School gave me a number of excellent opportunities which have allowed me to thrive as a person and achieve academically. I will be forever grateful." Rebecca Stephens - Head Girl 2018
"Looking back on my time at Bryngwyn it fills me with immense joy of the countless experiences and memories I had across my 5 years proudly representing the school. I started year 7 as a very quiet pupil, lacking confidence and initially sticking with the friends who I knew coming from primary school. Over time I settled into school life and grew in confidence, taking part in extra-curricular activities such as football and cricket and seizing opportunities like trips abroad to both France and Austria, helping to grow my circle of friends. Friends which I still have contact with to this day, despite many of us moving all over the world, which would not have been possible without the wonderful community that has been created at Bryngwyn. A community full of amazing staff who really do give their best, ringing true with the school’s motto, doing their upmost to provide the best environment for you to be the best possible person you can be when leaving in Year 11. Together with the dedication of teachers giving up their own time to prepare me for exams and coursework, alongside a lot of hard work on my part, I left secondary school with outstanding GCSE grades. Grades which enabled me to go to college to study A-Levels and most recently gain a 1st Class Honours in an undergraduate degree in Sports Performance Analysis. Something an 11-year-old me walking down B corridor would not have believed. I am now continuing into further education and am currently studying a masters degree in Analytics, alongside starting my first ever full-time job working as an Analyst for FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) on a project looking towards the 2022 World Cup. A truly dream job, which would have been a possibility without the foundations I gained, both academically and as a person whilst being a part of the family I know as Bryngwyn School. A place which will stay very strong in my heart for many years to come, as it was a privilege to represent the logo and an honour I will carry forward through all walks of life." - Alex Goddard - Senior Prefect - 2015
"I genuinely had the best five years studying at Bryngwyn school. The staff were so supportive and really equipped me with skills and knowledge that I have taken with me throughout the rest of my education and general life. My positive relationship with both staff and pupils made my years at Bryngwyn the happiest. Each teacher allowed me to be expressive and always supported my academic decisions. After Studying at Bryngwyn I went on to do my A levels at Coleg Sir Gar and now I am doing a Digital journalism apprenticeship with BBC Wales studying for a diploma in journalism. I first found my love for journalism whilst studying GCSE media studies at Bryngwyn, I believe that having the opportunity to explore the world of journalism and the media gave me an interest that I have taken throughout the rest of education and led me to do what I love with the BBC."

"The thing that makes Bryngwyn so special is how it gives the best to each and every individual. Bryngwyn provided me not only with a fantastic education, but the skills and qualities needed to succeed after school. The opportunities my peers and I received both inside and outside of the classroom were inspiring. Staff at Bryngwyn really do go the extra mile, and I am so grateful for all of their support and positivity. I have built strong relationships that will last a lifetime and I know that we will always have the support of Bryngwyn which is something special. I am now in my final year at Gorseinon college studying A levels in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, History and Economics, and I hope to study Economics at university next year. Bryngwyn prepared me in every way possible for life after school and the role of Head Girl is something that I will cherish forever. I know that Bryngwyn will continue to be a friendly community which caters for every individual. A huge thank you to Bryngwyn!"

"Bryngwyn was a fantastic community to be a part of. The skiing trips and Eisteddfods were the stand out memories looking back. After finishing in 2015, I’ve had the privilege to go on and study at the University of Cambridge, and am now working for a local Member of the Welsh Parliament. Bryngwyn continues to be the stand out school in the Llanelli area, and I owe a huge debt of gratitude to all the staff that make it so."

"I had some wonderful experiences in Bryngwyn. I took part in shows such as We Will Rock You and many performances with the school choir. I also had some great times as a school prefect by assisting in the delivery of events & open evenings. All of the staff were really supportive & went out of their way by providing after school and early morning revision sessions to help you understand the areas you may be struggling with. This helped me achieve 11 GCSEs. I am now in my final year studying BSc Computing at the University of Wales Trinity St David. "

After leaving Bryngwyn, I’m currently in my second year at Drama Centre London studying on the BA Acting course. I’ve carried the values of Bryngwyn with me throughout my training. They’ve taught me to be resilient, to persevere and to believe in your abilities. I will take these with me throughout my academic career and into the future.
