Beginning in Autumn Term 2011, Ynysawdre Comprehensive officially closed and its former students merged with those of Ogmore School to become Coleg Cymunedol Y Dderwen (translated to The Oak Community College).

However, in 2010, Bridgend County Borough Council, passed a vote and decided to merge the two schools, coming into effect in September 2011.

The new school currently operates on a split-site basis during a two-year transitional period, while the new main building will be built upon the Ynysawdre site.

After that, it remains unclear as to what will happen to the "Ogmore" building, with many rumours pointing towards the land being used for a new housing estate.
