_{Welcome to Pen y fro Primary School} 

Pen – y – fro Primary School is situated in the village of Dunvant, on the outskirts of Swansea close to the beautiful Gower Peninsula. It is a modern building in a wonderful position with extensive school grounds including a nature reserve, a sensory garden, a sports field and large grassed outdoor areas for learning and play.
