Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw (English: St Woolos' Comprehensive School) is a Welsh-medium comprehensive school located in Trevethin, Pontypool in Torfaen. The school was founded in 1988 as the first Welsh-medium school in southeast Wales and is housed in accommodation previously used for Trevethin Community School (that school then moved to the Victorian buildings that once housed Pontypool Girls' Grammar School). For its first three years Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw was housed in the old Abercarn Infant School house but soon outgrew the building. As one of the fastest growing schools in Wales bigger premises were needed and the old Trevethin upper school was suggested by the education authority.
Pupils at the school are taught completely in Welsh and come from a range of Welsh-language feeder schools. The aim is to immerse pupils in Welsh and to enable them to be educated entirely in it as their native language.
