Welcome
to the Llanishen High School website
“We
believe that all can succeed”
Thank
you for taking an interest in our school. We have much to
be proud of and believe that whilst there is always scope
for improvement, that we offer excellent opportunities for
the young people and the communities which we serve.
We
are a mixed comprehensive school of approaching 1700 pupils,
including around 300 students in the Sixth Form. We serve
a number of communities in the north of Cardiff, including
Llanishen, Heath, Thornhill and Lisvane. Most of our pupils
come from our partner primary schools; Cefn Onn, Coed Glas,
Llanishen Fach, Llysfaen, Thornhill and Ton Yr Ywen. Part
of our intake comes to the school as the result of parental
appeals. Most of our year groups are usually over-subscribed.
We
fully support the current Welsh educational model of not
having to choose to be a specialist school in one specific
field. Our hope is to strive for excellence in all areas
of both the timetabled curriculum and everything else that
a school can provide.
We
are determined to continually work towards the five Educational
Goals that are highlighted on the front page of this website.
We hope that this website can make some contribution towards
those goals; helping with learning and therefore success,
sharing achievements and keeping you informed. The site
has made a lot of progress, but there is always more to
do and limited time to do it in! Nevertheless we would always
welcome any helpful comments about the content or presentation.
Mr.
R. Smyth BA MA NPQH
