Glyncoed Senior School and later Glyncoed Secondary Modern was built in the 1930s, possibly 1936 and appears on OS 6-inch Fourth Edition (1936-43). Later as Glyncoed Comprehensive, the school educated 11-16 year olds, with approx. 787 pupils on roll in 2011, maintained by Blaenau Gwent LEA. The catchment for the school included Ebbw Vale, Glyncoed, Garnydan, Rassau, Beaufort and parts of Newtown. The school closed in 2012 and later demolished, the site becoming part of the Ebbw Fawr Learning Community.
