Llantarnam School
Site layout
The school was split into three main buildings (one of which was split) with two smaller buildings on site. The main buildings were named Ebbw, Llwyd, Usk and Monnow after the local Ebbw River, Afon Llwyd, River Usk and River Monnow. These were also the names of the four houses in the school. The two smaller buildings were referred to as the Design Technology Block and the Science Block.
Each of the three main buildings had three storeys or levels and a main access corridor on the first level which were referred to by students and faculty as Llwyd Corridor, Usk Corridor and Monnow Corridor. The school's canteen was located in Llwyd Building but there had been a second canteen in Usk Building until 2006. What was Usk Canteen became the Sixth Form study area. (see below)
Both the science block and the design technology block housed other subjects as well as their own. The science block contained three classrooms and one science prep room which linked the two science classrooms. The third classroom was used as a physical education theory classroom and had a set of computers connected to the schools network. The design technology block contained two workshops, three design technology classrooms and an art classroom. These classrooms all had smaller rooms used for storage.
