The Cathedral School, Llandaff is a coeducational Welsh independent day prep school. It is located in Llandaff, Cardiff and has many links to the neighbouring Llandaff Cathedral. In 1880 Dean John Vaughan opened a school on Llandaff Green for the choristers of the cathedral. Unfortunately, when a German bomb hit the cathedral in 1941, the school was found unsuitable for the growing number of pupils. In 1958, restoration work was finished on the Bishop's Palace, which then opened as a school.

  • The Cathedral School, Llandaff is a coeducational Welsh independent day prep school. It is located in Llandaff, Cardiff and has many links to the neighbouring Llandaff Cathedral. In 1880 Dean John Vaughan opened a school on Llandaff Green for the choristers of the cathedral. Unfortunately, when a German bomb hit the cathedral in 1941, the school was found unsuitable for the growing number of pupils. In 1958, restoration work was finished on the Bishop's Palace, which then opened as a school. Since then, the Cathedral School has flourished, now accepting boys and girls aged 3-16. The school celebrated 50 years on the Bishop's Palace site in September 2008. The link with the cathedral has held strong and now there is not only a high standard boy's choir at the cathedral but a girl's choir too. Both boy and girl choristers have done prestigious work in the Wales Millennium Centre, with Welsh National Opera, Bryn Terfel and Carlo Rizzi, respectively. Music in general at the Cathedral School is very strong with numerous pupils at Grade 8 standard. The music department is housed in the impressive state-of-the-art Jubilee building, with a full range of instruments at one's disposal. There are also specialist teachers in 20 different instruments. There are numerous school groups as well, from School Orchestra to Swing Band, from Flute Group to Senior Chamber Choir. The senior chamber choir has recently undertaken works such as Carmina Burana and the Berlioz Te Deum. Drama has thrived only recently in the Cathedral School but is rapidly expanding. Recent performances include Me and my Girl, Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat, The Sound of Music, Much Ado about Nothing, The Merchant of Venice and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Pupils have begun writing their own work for Gala evenings and many pupils are on the books of National Youth Theatre. The next major school production is to be The Wizard of Oz, which will be shown later this summer. There are over twenty different sports played at the Cathedral School, with pupils at international level in cricket, badminton and squash. Internally, the Cathedral School has had great success against other schools, particularly in rugby, where they came second at the 2007 Rosslyn Park Sevens, the biggest rugby competition in the world.
