The RCT Community Radio project was established as a regeneration and IT project in the communities of Penrhys and Treherbert in the Rhondda and Penywaun in the Cynon Valley. More than 80 local people were directly involved and trained as presenters and other roles. In addition hundreds of local residents and representatives of local organisations were interviewed on a whole range of topics.

Our school is situated on a hillside on the northern side of the village of Cwmbach within an established private housing estate. The village of Cwmbach lies approximately 2 miles south of the busy town of Aberdare, known locally as: 'The Queen of the Valleys'/ 'Brenhines y Cymoedd'. Cwmbach is in the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taff.
