Ogmore Comprehensive School (Ogmore Grammar School pre-1977) was a co-educational secondary school situated approximately 1.2 miles from the M4 Junction 36, Bridgend, Wales. It had a population of approximately 710 pupils aged 11–18 in its last year of full service, which made it the smallest secondary state school in Bridgend. The school was mainly recognised throughout South Wales for its commitments to the environment. In 2011, the school ceased to be after merging with local neighbouring school Ynysawdre Comprehensive School after over 100 years of service to the local catchment areas in its two different guises.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“And Guidobaldo, when he made
That grammar school of courtesies
Where wit and beauty learned their trade
Upon Urbino’s windy hill,
Had sent no runners to and fro
That he might learn the shepherds’ will.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
