Our School

Cwmtawe Community School is a 11-16 comprehensive school based in Pontardawe, serving the upper Swansea valley. Originally created in 1969, the school previously occupied three different sites. It moved to its present site in 1996 and now offers accommodation and facilities which are second to none.

We currently have 1,010 pupils on roll. In addition to pupils within our natural catchment area, a growing number of parents choose to send their children to Cwmtawe from other areas of Neath Port Talbot, Swansea, Powys and Carmarthenshire. Preferred placements now account for around half our cohort.

The school prides itself on offering a modern education based on traditional values. The way that staff care for, guide and support pupils is a significant strength, as is the quality of teaching and learning which leads to outstanding outcomes.
