It was one of the secondary schools in Neath Port Talbot, taking pupils aged 11 to 16.[1] It opened as a council school in 1920.[2] Closure proposalsIn the autumn of 2010 there was a proposal by Neath Port Talbot council to close Cwrt Sart and two Port Talbot schools, and build a single replacement in Sandfields, Port Talbot, to open in September 2016. The spur for this was the falling rolls. A vigorous campaign to retain it was headed up by the governing body, with much local support. A lengthy consultation period meant that a final decision was not taken until December 2013, when the Welsh Government approved the building of a £40million replacement school. It officially closed its doors on 20 July 2016, three years after a final decision was made to close the school[3] Success before closureBefore its eventual closure in 2016 Cwrt Sart did achieve success, in 2013 it became one of Wales' top 10 performing schools which also made it a band one school for the first time in its history under head teacher Steve Peers. When the school performance ranking systems were changed Cwrt Sart were ranked as a green school, a new version of band one in 2015. ClosureCwrt Sart officially closed its doors to pupils on 25 August 2016, after results day. A few months later plans to knock the existing site down and replace it with a new Welsh speaking primary school "Ysgol Newydd Briton Ferry" went under way and are still ongoing. Renaming the SchoolIn 2008, the name of Cwrt Sart Comprehensive School was officially changed to Cwrt Sart Community Comprehensive School. This was carried out under the headmaster Huw Lloyd, in an attempt to incorporate the Briton Ferry community in the school. Earlier, in 2007-2008, the school motto was changed from Man's wealth is his ability to Cyflwyni trwy gredu or Achieving through believing. This was a modernisation, as the old motto was viewed as sexist, and focused on older idealisms. Carreg HirIn the school playground was The Carreg Hir ('long stone'), a standing stone probably dating to the Bronze Age, 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m) high, 5 ft 7 in (1.7 m) wide and about 2 ft (0.6 m) thick. The stone was set into a concrete plinth in recent times, though it is believed to be in its original location. Archaeologists think that it may once have stood upon a mound, overlooking the River Neath. It is a Scheduled Monument.[4] There is a published 1848 reference to this stone in which it says that "there is a charm, not yet discovered, which can compel [the stone] to speak, and for once to reveal the secret of its history: but that having once spoken it will be silent forever." Another legend says that there is an underground passage leading between the stone and Neath Abbey some 1.3 miles (2.1 km) to the North; the stone is said to be aligned upon it.[5] References1. ^Cwrt Sart Website {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140516194308/http://cwrtsartcomp.co.uk/ |date=2014-05-16 }} 2. ^archivewales.org.uk school records 1920-1965 3. ^South Wales Evening Post, super-school go-ahead and Cwrt Sart to close, 11 Dec 2013 4. ^Glamorgan Gwent Archaeological Trust: {{Watprn|GGAT|00583w}} 5. ^Prehistoric Sites in Wales: Carreg Hir 1 : Secondary schools in Neath Port Talbot |
