Ysgol Bro Hyddgen
Ysgol Bro Hyddgen is a bilingual, all-age school situated in Machynlleth, Powys.
The school is a combination of two previous schools, namely Machynlleth C.P. School and Ysgol Bro Ddyfi secondary school. The name 'Hyddgen' refers to the place of the first battle victory of Owain Glyndwr in 1401, several miles east of Machynlleth. School pupils and Machynlleth Town Council unsuccessfully argued that the school should keep the name Ysgol Bro Ddyfi.
As of 2017, there were 488 pupils on roll, 199 of whom were in the primary department and 289 in the secondary department.
38% of pupils come from Welsh-speaking homes, with 44% of pupils being able to speak Welsh fluently.
