It was established in about 1875 under the Education Act 1870 and was attended by pupils from both the Llantwit Lower and Neath School Board areas. In 1899 a new school was opened in Herbert Road for Llantwit Lower pupils and the Neath School Board took over the former site. Herbert Road School became Pencaerau School in 1953.
