Cwmcarn High School is a school in the village of Cwmcarn, in South East Wales. The school (for school years 7-11) also has a sixth form where pupils can return to continue their education in a familiar environment.

There are 900+ students attending CHS, a considerable increase in numbers since 1998, when there were 450 students attending the school. The school serves an area of established housing within a former mining village, but it also draws from pupils further afield such as from the nearby city of Newport. Following the reorganisation of the schools status in September 1999, the school is now a foundation school. A sixth form was established in 1997 with 17 students and now serves 150+.

Approximately 75% of the pupils come from local primary schools. The remainder come from schools beyond the immediate neighbourhood. Almost all of the pupils come from semi-rural areas similar to the village that serves the school.

Cwmcarn High School is a high performing school with a large warm community spirit.

A notable student from Cwmcarn High School is Jason Tovey, Newport Gwent Dragons Rugby Union Player.
