Y Pant School
Y Pant School (Welsh: Ysgol Y Pant) is an 11–18 mixed, English-medium community comprehensive secondary school and sixth form in Talbot Green, Pontyclun, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales.
Since the original school was built, two main buildings have been added: the sports hall and the "new block", built in 2006.[clarification needed] The school was nominated as best state school in Wales in 2003 by a leading newspaper.[which?][citation needed]
The original school building, gym and DT block and boiler house was built in the 1950s, with a science, cookery, languages and art building being built in 1977.
Several portable buildings were added throughout the 1980s - early 2000's.
In recent years, Y Pant School has seen a number of new buildings added: the sports hall opened in 1996, the "new block" opened in 2002, the new changing rooms opened in 2006 and In 2016, the £24 million new school building was completed and all the original buildings including the 1950s main building and 1970s language block being demolished, with the new block and the school gym being refurbished.
In July 2024, the new ‘Rose Barnes’ building was opened in honour of a long serving governor and to serve as extra capacity to students across the borough.
An arson attack destroyed the Biology and Physics laboratories on Sunday 9 March 1986, costing £288,000. A burning ceiling panel fell onto the burglar alarm, which alerted the police station. Police visited the school, saw the fire, and called the fire service.
Firemen arrived from Pontypridd, Pontyclun, Pencoed, and Gilfach Goch, taking 90 minutes to put out the flames.
