From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dwr-y-Felin Comprehensive School is a comprehensive school in the Neath area in South Wales, with the Lower School located in Longford, Neath Abbey, and the Upper School adjacent to Neath Port Talbot College on Dwr-y-Felin Road.

The school opened its doors for the first time in September 1973 following the ending of Grammar School education in the Neath area. Indeed, the Upper School is housed in the former Neath Grammar School for Boys, and the Lower School is situated on the campus of the former Rhydhir Secondary Modern School.

The inaugural headmaster was Dr. R.J. Graham (previously the headmaster of Neath Grammar School for Boys), and the present incumbent is Mr N.Stacey who has been headmaster since September 2002.
