Open Evening for Year 6 Families - Thursday 5th October 2023

We warmly invite Year 6 families to our annual Open Evening on Thursday 5th October 2023. Tours of the school available from 5.30pm until 7.30pm. There will be a presentation in the main hall by Marc Belli, Headteacher at 5.30pm; repeated at 6.15pm and 7.00pm. The choice of secondary school can be one of the most challenging for parents. In choosing The Bishop of Llandaff, be assured that your child will be joining a school which is recognised as ‘excellent’ in every area by Estyn and diocesan authorities. Our examination performance is consistently amongst the best in the country (not just Wales!) and each year our students perform well above their expectations. However, our school is not just about achievement in public examinations. Our students develop a broad set of skills which prepares them for adult life, and they develop strong moral values built on love, acceptance, responsibility and forgiveness. We believe these values help create a more tolerant society and help young people grow in character.
