  Location of Caerleon campus in Newport | |
Caerleon campus stand on a ridge to the north of the village of Caerleon, on the outskirts of Newport, Wales. The site opened as a Teacher training college in 1914. In the 1970s the campus became the Gwent College of Higher Education, before being incorporated as a satellite campus of the University of Wales, Newport. On further merger in 2013, it became part of the University of South Wales. The university announced plans to close the campus in 2016 and sell the site for redevelopment. To prevent demolition, the Welsh government recommended the listing of certain buildings on the site, which was carried out by Cadw, the Welsh historic environment agency, in 2017. The main block and three ancillary buildings are now listed at Grade II. The sale of the site went ahead, and residential redevelopment was in progress at the end of 2024. The site was used for the filming of the Netflix television series Sex Education between 2019-2023 when it represented Moordale College.
