Admissions
The Bishop of Llandaff admits up to 180 students into each year group. In keeping with the Christian character of the school the governing body, who are responsible for admissions, allocate 150 'foundation' places and a further 30 'open' places. A ‘foundation’ place is reserved for those students who are from Christian backgrounds, either Church in Wales or another Christian denomination. An 'open’ place is intended for those families who wish their child to be educated at The Bishop of Llandaff as their preferred faith school.
Parents who apply for a community ('open') place do so knowing that the school aims to provide an education based on Christian principles and therefore governors expect all students to take part in Christian worship at the school, attend all religious education lessons and to participate in all other educational activities.
The governors of The Bishop of Llandaff offer 180 places each year. If there are more than 180 applications then governors will use oversubscription criteria.
