We are immensely proud of the achievements of our students past and present many of whom have become national names in fields as varied as science, the arts, industry, public service, and sport.
Whitchurch High School came into being in 1968, following the government circular of 1965, which replaced the existing tripartite system with comprehensive education. The new comprehensive school was created through a merger of the well-established Whitchurch Grammar School, and Whitchurch County Secondary School, both were under the control of Glamorgan County Council until the beginning of 1967, when Whitchurch became amalgamated as a suburb of the City of Cardiff.
