**Whitmore High School** is a co-educational secondary school situated in [Barry](/source/Barry,_Vale_of_Glamorgan), Wales, on the site of the former [Barry Comprehensive School](/source/Barry_Comprehensive_School).

## History

Whitmore High School was formed in September 2018 during a reform of secondary education in the area, when the single-sex [Bryn Hafren Comprehensive School](/source/Bryn_Hafren_Comprehensive_School) and [Barry Comprehensive School](/source/Barry_Comprehensive_School) became co-educational schools. Whitmore High School was based out of the Barry Comprehensive School site.[1]

In 2018, plans to build a new building for the school were announced, with construction started in September 2019.[2] This was part of the [Welsh Government](/source/Welsh_Government)'s 21st Century Schools Programme. Staff and students moved into the new school building in May 2021.[3]
