Aberdare High School

Aberdare High School (Welsh: Ysgol Uwchradd Aberdâr) was a comprehensive school in Aberdare, Wales.

The school is situated between the villages of Trecynon and Cwmdare and sited opposite the Coleg y Cymoedd site (formerly called Coleg Morgannwg).

Over 600 pupils attend this school, which has a separate sports facility, two annexes, an upper school and a lower school. The school recently joined the CVC (see Blaengwawr Comprehensive School), which allows the sixth form to commute to other schools for lessons. The headmaster is Ian Machin.

The school has recently opened its new 'Dare Valley Sports Hall' for use by both the public (after school hours) and the pupils of the school.

Prior to September 2009, the school's name was Aberdare Boys' Comprehensive School.
