History
The school was formerly known as Amman Valley Comprehensive School (AVCS) and prior to this was the Amman Valley Grammar School. It opened as Amman Valley County School in 1913 and a new school was built, opening 19 January 1928. In 1970 Amman Valley Grammar School and Amman Valley Secondary Modern School merged. The school adopted a bilingual name, Ysgol Dyffryn Aman / Amman Valley School, prior to 2011. Following education reform in the Dinefwr area, the board of the governors unanimously voted in favour of changing the name to Ysgol Dyffryn Aman. The school is now known by its Welsh name only and this is the form used on all official literature, signs and documents.
