The History of Llangatwg |
The current site of Llangatwg School in Cadoxton was initially
opened in 1930 as the Central Mixed School. It became a Senior
School in 1935 and at that time was housed entirely in what is now
the Old Block of the current school.
In the 1960's a total of three Secondary modern Schools served the
Neath valley, namely Cadoxton School, Ynysfach School and Cwmnedd
School.
In 1968 the decision was made to amalgamate the three Secondary
modern Schools to form one School, Llangatwg Secondary School.
In 1973 Cwmdulais School was added to Llangatwg School to create the
new Llangatwg Comprehensive School. This new school was a two-site
school.

In January 1994 Llangatwg became a one-site comprehensive school at
its current site in Cadoxton. In order to unify the school at Cadoxton an
extensive building programme was undertaken.
As a result Llangatwg
acquired really outstanding facilities including a new teaching
block housing the Mathematics and English departments, a new kitchen
and dining area, a completely refurbished and remodelled CDT block
and a new Music Suite.
A new astroturf artificial playing surface was opened in June 1996. |

In 2008, Llangatwg was
renamed from a Comprehensive to Llangatwg Community School.
