Ethos & Values

PHS Values: Respect, Kindness, Effort, Resilience

Our Purpose

To ignite hope and drive ambition. To nurture a community that values everyone and treats them with equal consideration, compassion and courtesy.

Our Vision

Strive minute 1 to minute 60, Monday lesson 1 to Friday lesson 5 to ensure every pupil achieves the knowledge, skills, aspirations, expectations and social understanding to flourish in life. 


Culture for learning

Our 'Culture for Learning', which we know as 'The PHS Way' is co-constructed by the staff and pupils at Pencoedtre. 

We have a clear model for high expectations, genuine mutual respect and learning and teaching which is followed consistently by all staff and understood by pupils.
