Contents |
It has about 1800 pupils. It is located on Margaret Street, Ammanford, Carmarthenshire in Wales.[1] It is a mixed-gender non-denominational secondary school.[2]
It is situated in the north of the Ammanford town centre, and the town is a few miles north-east of the western terminus of the M4.
The school was formerly known as Amman Valley Comprehensive School (AVCS) and prior to this was the Amman Valley Grammar School.[3] It opened as Amman Valley County School. In 1970 Amman Valley Grammar School and Amman Valley Secondary Modern School merged. The school adopted a Bilingual name Ysgol Dyffryn Aman / Amman Valley School prior to 2011, however following education reform in the Dinefwr area, the board of the governors unanimously voted in favour of changing the name of the school to Ysgol Dyffryn Aman. The school shall be known in future by its Welsh name only, and this is the form to be used on all official literature, Signage and documents.
