Ysgol Gymraeg Ystalyfera Bro Dur is a Welsh-medium comprehensive school in Neath Port Talbot, Wales. [1] The school provides education to three to eighteen-year-old pupils in Neath Port Talbot and south Powys from three campuses in Ystalyfera and Port Talbot.
It was founded in 1969 as Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera (Ystalyfera Secondary School), on the site of the former Ystalyfera Grammar School.
