The school was established in 2013 following the amalgamation of Ysgol Gyfun Tre-Gib and Ysgol Gyfun Pantycelyn in 2013. [2] These schools were located in Ffairfach and Llandovery, before closure, now occupying a new £30 million school building in September 2016. [3]
The school is categorized linguistically by Welsh Government as a Category 2B school, meaning that at least 80% of subjects, excluding English and Welsh, are taught through the medium of Welsh but are also taught through the medium of English.
