Fairwater High School (Welsh: Ysgol Uwchradd Fairwater), now known as Cwmbran High School, is a state-funded and non-selective comprehensive school located on Ty Gwyn Road in the Fairwater district of Cwmbran, Wales. The school is one of two secondary schools in Cwmbran, the other being Croesyceiliog. It educates children from the age of 11 up to 18. 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.
