The school badge symbolises Brynteg's close links with its country, county and town. It features the cross of St. David, the coat of arms of Glamorgan and the coat of arms of the De Turbervilles, the Lords of Coity, in whose manor Bridgend stands. This implies support and care for others, humility and the ability to offer positive protection when needed. The motto is the cornerstone of the philosophy of the school which prides itself on seeking to bring out the best in individuals, while maintaining a particular concern for the less fortunate in the world. Brynteg School cares about achievement and encourages its students to care.
Pupils are well motivated and apply themselves conscientiously to their work.
Their achievements are reflected in good examination results, high attendance records, entry into higher education including Oxbridge, outstanding sports results at local and national levels and a high level of involvement in the arts. Self discipline and co-operation are encouraged so that pupils will mature into responsible adults. Pupils are aware of joining an orderly, civilised community. They develop good relationships with their teachers and are made aware of the importance of conducting themselves in a courteous manner. A tight disciplinary structure exists within the school, built into this are behavioural guidelines to which all pupils are expected to conform.
