Originally, the school was a community school under Monmouthshire County Council but when county boundaries were revised in 1973, it became one of 46 comprehensive schools in Mid Glamorgan. As a result of local Government reorganisation in 1996, it became one of 16 comprehensive schools in Caerphilly County Borough.
