About this school
Llanishen High School is a secondary school in Cardiff. It has 1,715 pupils on roll.
Estyn's most recent report on the school is linked from the section below. The school census figures the Welsh Government publishes, such as the share of pupils eligible for free school meals, are shown below. Numbers and a report only go so far, so visit in person before you apply.
Estyn inspection
Estyn now reports in narrative form. Instead of an overall grade it describes a school's work and, where it is needed, sets a follow-up category. OfferDay shows the inspection date and links to the full report rather than reproducing Estyn's findings.
School characteristics
From the Welsh Government school census, latest 3 years.
Wales does not publish school-level exam results under an open licence, so OfferDay does not show attainment figures for Welsh schools. Estyn reports on each school, and the Welsh Government publishes results at national and local-authority level.
