Can't really find much on the history I'm afraid other than it was built in 1969 and moved to new premises in 1996.
Was my first school explore & quite fun to walk around ;-)

Thanks for looking :)
 
Nice photos!

I was here a few weeks back, nice little explore but not much left to see these days compared to other photographs I have seen! Welcome to the forum by the way ;-)
 
I used to go to this school.
It became Cwmtawe in 1969 when it was merged with the schools from Alltycham and Clydach.
Looking at the black & white photograph showing the outside of the building (10th one down) there was a bridge which lead to the canteen and I think the PE hall.
The head master at the time I was there was Slug Lewis, who passed away many years ago and lived on Swansea Road.
Thanks fpr posting the images.
