Queen Elizabeth High School is the main secondary school for the Carmarthen area. Until 2005 it was two different schools: QE Maridunum School and QE Cambria School which were relatively close. In 2005, the two schools merged together as part of a scheme to increase the efficiency of the secondary schools in the town. Mr Tim Day is the current headteacher and the two sites still exist today with Key Stage 3 pupils on the Maridunum site and Key Stage 4 and sixth form on the Cambria site.

[edit] New School

Also in 2005, the plans for the new school were put forward, it is to include state of the art learning facilities and other new features. The new school building is to be located on the Cambria site. The Carmarthen leisure centre, which separates the two sites, will be extended and modernised. The new school is due to open in 2008, when the existing school buildings will be demolished.

[edit] Children In Need Protest

In 2005 on Children In Need Day, a pupil's strike went out because the wasn't a non uniform day and the children stated that they could have raised more by having one. The protest occurred at the lunchtime and when children finally ended up in lessons, they tried to get out of school.
