Lewis Girls Comprehensive School
School in Ystrad Mynach, Hengoed, Caerphilly, Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lewis Girls' Comprehensive School is a secondary school in Wales. It stands at the border between Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire, divided by the Rhymney River which acts as the school fields' boundary. The school was established subsequent to its partner school, Lewis Boys' School, situated in Pengam. The origins of both of the schools come from the bequest of Sir Edward Lewis to set up the Boys' school, as Girls' became pupils and numbers swelled the division and separate educational provision evolved. In 1973, the school integrated with the Ystrad Mynach Secondary School for Girls to form the present comprehensive school in Ystrad Mynach, Wales.[1] The Ystrad Mynach School, built in the late 1950s, was primarily established for female students but has recently begun to allow male students from local comprehensive schools to enroll in its sixth form and study subjects under Lewis Girls' teaching staff.
