One derelict building remains on the site of the demolished school on the west side of Penygarn Road. The school closed in 2007 despite local protests which included hundreds of people marching through Pontypool town centre, and the lobbying of Torfaen County Borough Council and National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff.
