Bassaleg School (Welsh: Ysgol Basaleg) is a comprehensive secondary school for pupils aged 11 to 18 years, situated in the suburb of Bassaleg on the western side of the city of Newport, South Wales. The present buildings of the school range in age from the early 20th century to the present day. The buildings form a natural campus, with playing fields, lawns and gardens. It has over 1,700 pupils. Because of expanding residential development in the area, consultations took place in 2021 to 2022 to increase capacity to over 2,000 pupils by 2023.[2] Plans were approved by Newport City Council in February 2022[3] with work on the project beginning in March 2022, following a £30,000,000 investment.[4]
As of 2023, the new facility, Adeliad Balch (meaning Pride Building) opened, and now caters for 70% of education that takes place at Bassaleg School.
Since its opening, the building has received criticism from pupils claiming that the new name is too cliche. Some pupils believe that the building should have been named "Griffin" as a reference to the name of the now demolished building it replaced, which was situated on Griffin Lane.
