Cyfarthfa High School

The school was established in 1970 following the amalgamation of Cyfarthfa Castle Grammar School and Georgetown Secondary Modern School.

Since September 1981 the Lower School, consisting of Year 7 and 8 pupils, has been housed in the Cyfarthfa Castle premises, Cyfarthfa Park, and the Upper School in excellent purpose built premises at Cae Mari Dwn, Thomastown.

The sites are approximately two miles apart.
