Dinas Secondary Modern School opened in 1955, the school built by Gee, Walker and Slater Ltd. to the designs of County Architect G. R. Bruce. Further extensions were added in 1972-73 as Penglais Comprehensive School was established.

Photographed during RCAHMW aerial reconnaissance on several ocassions.

A striking 'world map', made up of around 1400 pupils on the school sports field, was assembled for a world charity event in April 2007 in which schools across Europe were encouraged to show pupils 'joining up' and forming human chains. As an exceptional event, the Royal Commission agreed to overfly the school to record the striking map before continiuing with archaeological reconnaissance elsewhere in Ceredigion.
