Ysgol Bro Hyddgen is a newly established 4 – 18 school  of  around 550 pupils, situated on two sites at the edges of the town.  Although a large percentage of the pupils live in town, a significant number come from a more rural background.  We receive pupils from three counties: Powys, Gwynedd and Ceredigion.  The Powys section of the catchment area extends as far east as Carno and to Aberangell in the north-east.  The school is run by Powys Education Authority but arrangements are made for extra-district pupils from Gwynedd and Ceredigion.
