History

It was founded in 1969 as Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera (Ystalyfera Secondary School), on the site of the former Ystalyfera Grammar School.[2] In 2017 the school merged with Ysgol Gynradd y Wern primary school to form an all-age school for ages three to eighteen.[3] In September 2018 the Bro Dur ('Steel Land') campus opened in Port Talbot,[4] which operates alongside the primary and secondary school campuses in Ystalyfera.[5] A second Welsh-medium comprehensive campus named Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bro Dur was opened, it is also referred to as Ystalyfera South.
