Llantarnam Hall is home to Rougemont School.
In 2015 Llantarnam School amalgamated with Fairwater High School to make the new school of Cwmbran High School.

Governance
Llantarnam is part of the Llantarnam electoral ward which, since 2022, has elected three councillors to Torfaen County Borough Council. In May 2022 the ward elected three (former Labour Party) Independent councillors, though Nick Jones resigned in November 2022 causing a by-election. The by-election was won by (former Conservative), Jason O'Connell. However, in August 2024 all three Independent councillors joined Reform UK.
