Ysgol Gyfun Emlyn is a mixed, community comprehensive school in Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It has around 520 pupils, catering for all abilities across an age range of 11 to 19 years.[1]

The school was established in 1994 following the re-organisation of secondary education provision in the area, although parts of the school were built in 1945.[2]

Due to its close proximity to the county border, pupils from both Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion attend a school.

As of 2017, 30% of pupils speak Welsh at home. However, school data indicates that 23% of pupils are considered to be fluent in Welsh. Approximately 47% of pupils completed their primary education through the medium of Welsh.[3]
