Ysgol Maesydderwen is a state secondary school and sixth form in Ystradgynlais, Powys. As of 2024, there were 542 pupils on roll at the school.[2] It is an English-medium school.
The school has its origins in Ystradgynlais County School which was established in 1907, moving into the former Maesydderwen Mansion in 1911. This school was destroyed by fire in 1932 and a new school built in its place, reopening in 1934. Additional extensions to the school were completed in 1954.[1]
The newest section of the school is a two-storey block, opened to pupils in September 2012 and officially opened in May 2013.[3] This block also incorporates a gymnasium and sports hall forming part of Ystradgynlais Sports Centre.
