What it’s like
Founded in 1920, the school was established as a co-educational junior school to feed local grammar schools. The present school took shape after a parental buy-out in 1974 and a charitable trust was formed. The first sixth form opened in 1981. Recently most of the school moved to a new site at Llantarnam Hall, where it offers education from 3–18. Examination results are good. High standards are achieved in music, drama and art. Sport is good with several county and national representatives. A most impressive record in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme.
