Whitmore High School is a co-educational secondary school situated in Barry, Wales, on the site of the former Barry Comprehensive School.

History

Whitmore High School was formed in September 2018 during a reform of secondary education in the area, when the single-sex Bryn Hafren Comprehensive School and Barry Comprehensive School became co-educational schools. Whitmore High School was based out of the Barry Comprehensive School site. ^[1]

In 2018, plans to build a new building for the school were announced, with construction started in September 2019. ^[2] This was part of the Welsh Government's 21st Century Schools Programme. Staff and students moved into the new school building in May 2021. ^[3]
