Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bryn Tawe
- Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bryn Tawe
Ysgol Bryn Tawe is a Welsh-language comprehensive school based in Penlan, Swansea, southwest Wales. It opened in 2003 to complement Ysgol Gyfun Gwyr and to provide additional capacity following the increased demand for Welsh-medium education in the area. Upon its opening, it held only its own fresh intake, taking none of Gwyr's existing pupils. As a result, the school only reached its full complement of years 7-11 (ages 11-16) with its fifth intake of September 2007.
It is located in the buildings of the former Penlan boys' school, which itself was merged with the girls' school at Mynyddbach on that site to become Daniel James Community School. This arrangement was a subject of considerable controversy in the period leading up to Bryn Tawe's inauguration.
In 2008, the school attained an 84% GCSE pass mark (based on 5 GCSEs, grades A-C), making it the top performing comprehensive school in the city and county of Swansea.
