Upper Cwmbran

Thornhill is a large council estate on the western side of Cwmbran, Torfaen in Wales. It is adjacent to the suburbs of Greenmeadow and Upper Cwmbran and represents the most economically-improved area of Cwmbran and in the wider Torfaen area. The estate is large and sprawling, built in the mid-1970s as temporary housing during the redevelopment of Pillgwenlly (Pill Newport). The residents liked the houses and never left. It is built around the original Thornhill farm house, which is still situated in the middle of the estate. The farm originally farmed pigs, and the woodland now surrounding the main estate has remains of the old walls and pig sties. The estate is divided into small cul de sacs that are named after Welsh rivers or lakes. The main thoroughfare is Hafren Road (Hafren is Welsh for the River Severn). At the centre of the estate is a small shopping precinct which is home to a convenience store, newsagent, fish and chip shop, chemist, and pub.

The school is one of two secondary schools in Cwmbran, the other being Croesyceiliog. It educates children from the age of 11 up to 16. The school also houses the community swimming pool. Construction began in 1969 and was to replace the secondary modern in Coed Eva, opened in 1960, that had to become a primary school in order to accommodate the growing younger population in Cwmbran New Town. In 2015, as part of Torfaen County's 21st Century Schools Programme, Llantarnam School, one of the original Cwmbran New Town schools, closed and was merged with Fairwater High to form a new school on the latter site. It opened in September of that year as Cwmbran High School. Cwmbran High School also has a Hearing Impaired Base and an ASD Base attached. The Governing body has now been replaced by an Interim Executive Board (IEB) and has recently introduced a Shadow Governing Body. [1]
