This is the site of the demolished former Llantarnam Comprehensive School, viewed from the edge of Llantarnam Road on March 31st 2017. The school was placed on special measures after the publication of an unsatisfactory Estyn inspection report in November 2012. The school closed down in July 2015, at the end of the 2014-2015 academic year. The school merged with Fairwater High School on the Fairwater site to create Cwmbran High School which opened in September 2015. This site will be used for a new housing development and a new school, Llantarnam Primary School. A nearby notice states that Barratt Homes (South Wales) has been granted planning permission for the erection of 226 new build dwellings and associated infrastructure works, parking, services and landscaping.
