Vayalar is a village in Cherthala taluk, Alapuzha district, Kerala state, India.

The high school is named after the Malayalam poet Vayalar Ramavarma who hails from this place.

Many people depend on schools in the Cherthala town and in nearby Pattanakkad for education.

It is a memorial to the hundreds who died fighting against the rule Divan of Travancore Sir C.P.

The revolters were armed with nothing more than wooden spears and were overpowered by gun wielding police of erstwhile Travancore State.
