Cardiff High School
Encyclopedia
Cardiff High School is a comprehensive school
in the Cyncoed
area of Cardiff
, Wales
. Cardiff High School is two miles from the city centre, serving a neighbourhood of privately-owned houses. According to the 2007 ESTYN Report, "Cardiff High School is a very good school with many outstanding features. There is a strong ethos of mutual support and respect that permeates the whole school and enables pupils and students to realise their potential."
A good proportion of students from Cardiff High School receive offers from Oxford and Cambridge including 8 students in each year group from 2001, 2002 and 2010.
Government passed the Butler Education Act
in 1944 a Tripartite System
was established dividing Secondary schools into three categories, Grammar schools, Technical schools
and Modern Schools
. The grammar school was deemed the place of education for the academically gifted (as determined by the eleven plus
exam) and the High Schools were selected to became the grammar schools (hence the informal term Cardiff Grammar School applied to both). The Boys' school had from an early stage suffered with a constricted site on Newport Road. Within 3 years of its foundation a new site acquired in 1901 on the corner of Corbett Road and Park Place, but the school eventually stayed on its original site, with a new school opened in 1910 and further extensions in 1931–32.

(the 'Grammar School' element met by the Cardiff High Schools).
following the merger of the two single-sex grammar school
s and the Ty Celyn Secondary Modern School. From 1967 to 1970 the school had served as a senior high school in Cardiff's unified junior/senior system where pupils attended a junior high school from age 11 to 13 (the former secondary moderns) before transferring to a senior high school of their choice only if their intention was to remain in education to age 18.
The school was unified on a single site in 1973. The Newport Road Site of the former High School was eventually sold to fund an extension to Willows High School in Tremorfa, Cardiff.
The accommodation in 1973 consisted of the old Ty Celyn School Llandennis Road, Cardiff, with a new building attached, designed for six form entry. A considerable amount of internal alteration and refurbishment has been carried out on the original building, funded by the School over the past 25 years.
Cardiff High School became a seven form entry school in September, 1998, when a third feeder primary school, Roath Park
, was added to the two existing feeder schools, namely Lakeside and Rhydypenau. As of 2007, it has a total pupil roll of 1447, of whom 377 are following 'AS and A' level courses in the sixth form.
The school enjoys an extremely high level of parental interest and support. The establishment of a new Cardiff High Partnership with parents in 1998 both built on the strong, existing Parents' Association links, and launched new initiatives, including a covenant scheme. It also expanded the range of educational, social and fund-raising activities.
According to the latest inspection report by Estyn
the school has a pass rate of 80% (based on 5 GCSEs, grades A-C). This means that the school is currently ranked in joint 5th place in Wales
with Eirias High School
in Colwyn Bay
. It is ranked 2nd place in Cardiff

In a developing European scene, programmes for pupils' exchange visits with their German counterparts are well established. The school also has a rich international dimension, with students from many parts of the world currently studying at the school. The school believes strongly in the principle of continuous self-improvement, and to this end has introduced a considerable number of new initiatives in recent years, all designed to improve the quality of educational provision.
A key objective for the last four years has been the promotion of effective teaching and learning strategies, which has helped improve value added performance at each key stage
. The various INSET
programmes organised by the school enabled internationally renowned educationalists to deliver whole-school INSET on teaching and learning, linked closely to subsequent dialogue and discourse at departmental level. The senior management team plays a key quality assurance role by managing an annual departmental review and departmental self-review process. In addition, great emphasis is placed on the generation and analysis of quantitative data to both set challenging targets and critically analyse results retrospectively. Each senior manager is linked to a cluster of departments (which meets twice-termly) to enable two way consultation and communication to take place between all staff.

History
Although the school was established in its current form in 1970, its origins go back much further to the foundations of the three schools that merged to form the present school.City of Cardiff High Schools
City of Cardiff High School for Girls was opened in January 1895 in the Parade, Cardiff, and City of Cardiff High School for Boys was opened in September 1898 in Newport Road, Cardiff. Both were created under the terms of the Welsh Intermediate Education Act 1889 and therefore were originally called Cardiff Intermediate School for Girls and Cardiff Intermediate School for Boys respectively. From 1905 Secondary school education in Cardiff was largely provided through a system of Municipal Secondary Schools that were organised under the Education Act 1902. Although the Intermediate Schools were both rebranded as High Schools in 1911 (thus the schools became Cardiff High School for Girls and Cardiff High School for Boys) they suffered in comparison with the municipal secondary schools because of their entrance examinations and later their fees, particularly after the municipal secondary schools abolished fees in 1924. The working class intake of the schools was limited because parents were deterred by the fees, only partly made up by scholarships and bursaries, and later by the Grammar School regime and curriculum.
