From Geoff Abbott

The girls mentioned on pages 2 & 3, may have been
from classes previously belonging to the former Rhydywaun
Secondary Modern School. It’s possible they had not
transferred to the new Aberdare Girls School which
opened in 1978 at the commencement of comprehensive
education throughout Aberdare. If so, they were from September 1978, in buildings which had become part of Aberdare Boys’ Comprehensive School.
