Cardiff High School is an over-subscribed 11–18 neighbourhood community comprehensive school that forms part of the Cardiff Schools Service.  Our current school population stands at approximately 1800 with an eight form entry each year.  Nearly 700 students make up our sixth form cohort and significant numbers of students from outside of Cardiff High choose to join us for their A level studies . 

The school lies in a very pleasant residential area about 2 miles north of the City Centre, and has a multi-cultural school population.  We are a genuine comprehensive, bringing together and supporting pupils from a very wide range of backgrounds. The school has extensive facilities to support both learning and teaching and also extra curricular activities. These include well equipped classrooms, sports, music and drama facilities and access to technology.  

The well-being of our pupils and staff is central to our success as a school and this is supported through an outstanding pastoral team and extra support structures such as our own Nurture provision, our school counsellor, educational psychologist and behaviour specialist. We are constantly striving to be a highly effective learning organisation where professional learning, collaboration and development opportunities are at the heart of our ethos and culture. As a result, teachers in Cardiff High have access and to opportunities to continue to develop as effective practitioners through a wide array of professional development opportunities.
