Administrative / Biographical History

Dynevor School, Swansea, Glamorgan, began as a higher grade elementary school in Trinity Place in 1883, transferring to new premises in Dynevor Place in 1894. In 1907 it became the Swansea Municipal Secondary School for Boys. The buildings were extended in 1929 but were extensively damaged during the 1941 Blitz. From 1944 to 1971 the school was known as Dynevor Grammar School, then became a senior comprehensive. In 1978 it merged with the Llwyn-y-Bryn Girls School to become Dynevor School. In 2001 Dynevor School merged with Dillwyn Llewelyn School to become the Dylan Thomas Community School. The site closed in 2002.
