Cowbridge School (formerly Cowbridge Comprehensive School) is a co-educational 3–19 school in Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. The school traces its history to Cowbridge Grammar School.
The school provides education from nursery and primary through secondary and sixth-form education. It became an all-through 3–19 school in September 2023, following the development of new primary and nursery provision alongside the existing secondary school. The Vale of Glamorgan Council described the development as the first 3–19 "superschool" in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Cowbridge School has been recognised for its academic performance. In the 2026 Sunday Times Parent Power guide, it was named State Secondary School of the Year in Wales and State Secondary School in Wales for Academic Excellence. It was the highest-ranked Welsh state secondary school in the guide, placed joint 143rd in the UK. The ranking was based on the school's 2025 GCSE and A-level results.
