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. The new school is called Ysgol Bro Dinefwr, and all pupils moved to the new campus in September 2016.
