Trevethin Community School
- Trevethin Community School
Trevethin Community School ( _cy. Ysgol Gymunedol Trefddyn) was a non-selective state secondary school in the Pontypool suburb of Trevethin, Wales.
The school was housed in the former Pontypool Girls' Grammar School building after it was relocated from its purpose-built 1960s building to make way for the Welsh-language school, Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw.
The school suffered from declining pupil numbers in its last years and closed in the summer of 2007. The remaining pupils were relocated to either Abersychan Comprehensive School or West Monmouth School. Many residents of Trevethin are bitter about the school's closure and have fought hard to keep it open, but to no avail. Trevethin itself is an economically deprived district of Pontypool and this has had an impact on the school's fate.
