Based in the heart of Cardiff, Llanishen High School is a community-led high school focused on creating a learning environment where students can realise their potential and achieve success, whatever that means to them.

This A Level Results Day, the school saw 83 students receive their A Level results, with 95% achieving 3 A* to E grades, and 76% achieving at least 3 A*- C grades.

Over 75% of students have now been accepted onto their university places with around 50% of these heading to Russell Group Universities. Meanwhile, 20 students are celebrating their progression into vocational pathways and apprenticeships in fields including IT.

Headteacher Mrs Sarah Parry said: “It’s been months in the making but we’re pleased to be celebrating our students’ success today, seeing them achieve the results they hoped and worked hard for. However, success doesn’t look the same for everyone, and we believe it’s vital to acknowledge and appreciate that all of our students have unique aspirations. This is why we’re proactive in our student support from the moment they step through our doors in Year 7 until they leave at the end of Sixth Form. Today’s results reflect that, and we wish our students the very best of luck in their next steps – we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you.”

Head Girl, Holly Craddock who is headed to the University of Birmingham to study for a degree in Law: “I’m excited to focus solely on the subject that I love and to explore a different city with a more independent lifestyle. Despite our previous lack of exam experience, I’m grateful to the fantastic teachers who have been so thorough in helping us to prepare. I will be forever appreciative of their support.”
