Tonyrefail School was an 11-18 mixed comprehensive school of approximately 1050 students that served the town of Tonyrefail and the surrounding areas. The school was part of a cluster of 6 primary schools: Cwmlai, Tonyrefail, Tref-y-Rhyg, Williamstown, Hendreforgan and Abercerdin.
Tonyrefail School was part of the Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council 21st Century Schools Reorganisation, which will take a radically different approach to education in the area, by sharing both primary and secondary sector resources. The new Tonyrefail Community School (3-19) is being built on the site of the current school, with a Sixth Form Centre of Excellence and opens in September 2018, following the closure of Tonyrefail School and Tonyrefail Primary School.
Since 2014, the school has been awarded the ECO Platinum Award and in February 2015 the school achieved the Bronze Investors in People Award.[citation needed] Tonyrefail School has also been awarded the Investors in Families Award,[citation needed] Careers Wales Mark and are currently working towards the completion of Phase 5 of Healthy Schools Quality Award.
The school works in collaboration with other school in Rhondda Cynon Taf to offer a wide range of Post-16 Courses at its Sixth Form Centre of Excellence.
