Plans were afoot to merge Ysgol Tre-Gib with Llandovery's Ysgol Pantycelyn, with the new school being called Ysgol Dyffryn Tywi. However, there was opposition to the closure of Llandovery's main school.[1] The new school is called Ysgol Bro Dinefwr, and all pupils moved to the new campus in September 2016.
