Schools near Cardiff

About schools near Cardiff

Here are the 60 nearest schools to Cardiff, ordered by how far each one sits from the centre. The closest is Cathays High School, less than a mile away in a straight line. Some sit under a neighbouring town or local authority, because distance does not follow administrative boundaries.

Estyn inspects the schools on this page. Estyn no longer gives maintained schools a single overall grade, so follow any school for its inspection date, report and the characteristics the Welsh Government publishes. Distances are measured in a straight line from the centre of Cardiff, so a school that is close by road may fall a little further down this list; to see only the schools listed under Cardiff itself, open its schools page.
