Cantonian High School is an English-medium 11-18 community school maintained by Cardiff local authority. It is located in Fairwater and serves the surrounding area in the west of Cardiff, Wales.[3] There are currently more than 1000 pupils on roll and the school is continually growing. Although in the past it has often struggled,[4][5][6] it has progressed significantly in recent years,[7] and performed well in its most recent Estyn inspections, earning the title Cardiff's most improved school in Wales Online.[8]

History

[edit]

The school opened in Market Road, Cardiff, in 1907 as Canton Municipal Secondary School and was renamed as Canton High School in 1933.[9] The school admitted boys and girls, but the school was bombed in 1941 and the girls school moved to Llanover Hall.[10] The boys and girls schools merged and moved to a new site in Fairwater in 1962 and took the name Cantonian High School when they became a comprehensive in 1969.[9] The original building became the Chapter Arts Centre in 1971.[11]

Future plans

[edit]

Cardiff Council is planning to completely rebuild Cantonian High School, to expand the Sixth Form capacity, and to provide a Specialist Resource Base for people with ASD.[12]
