Abersychan Comprehensive School is a mixed, non-selective, non-denominational secondary school without sixth form situated in Abersychan, a suburb of Pontypool in South Wales. It is a state school. A smaller than average-sized school for a school of its type, the latest Estyn report identifies a school roll of 866 pupils at nursery, primary and secondary school level between the ages of 11-16.
Increasing pressure was put on the school to take students following the closure of local school Trevethin Community School in 2007, but it has been praised for its ability to accommodate, as shown by its Welsh Secondary School award which it received in 2008 for it outstanding contribution for the transition of pupils.

Estyn
“In a minority of lessons, teachers plan suitable activities that engage pupils’ interests. At key stage 3, the proportion of pupils who achieve the core subject indicator has increased rapidly and is now generally in line with the proportion in similar schools. The performance of the pupils eligible for free school meals in the level 2 threshold including English and mathematics has generally been in line with averages for similar schools over the last three years.”
