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 'community' places. A ‘foundation’ place is reserved for those students who are from Christian backgrounds, either Church in Wales or another Christian denomination. A 'community’ 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' 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.

Applications for The Marion Centre are separate to standard admissions. The Marion Centre at The Bishop of Llandaff provides education for students with an Autistic Spectrum Condition. Parents of students with a statement of educational need (relating to Autism) should apply to Cardiff Local Authority in accordance with the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice for Wales. The standard admission to The Marion Centre is six students per year.

Open Evening 2021
On Thursday 7th October 2021 we will hold an Open Evening from 5.30pm until 7.30pm. You and your child will have the opportunity to take a tour of the school, followed by a short presentation by me at 5.30pm, which is repeated at 6.15pm and again at 7.15pm. We anticipate this being a busy event and, in light of the health crisis, unless you have an exemption, we ask that you wear a face-covering. Furthermore, where possible we will try to support social distancing by placing capacity limits on rooms. So that we can offer a ‘real’ experience, we ask that you support us by observing these safety measures.

A reminder that the deadline for applications for the new Year 7 cohort is Monday 22nd November 2021 at 12.00pm.
