Corpus Christi Roman Catholic High School Cardiff

What Corpus Christi Roman Catholic High School Cardiff does

Corpus Christi Catholic High School is a maintained Catholic comprehensive secondary school located on Ty Draw Road in Lisvane, north Cardiff, serving students aged 11–16 (Years 7–11) under the Archdiocese of Cardiff. The school operates within the Welsh Government's Curriculum for Wales framework and is publicly funded through education grants and local authority funding, with no tuition fees charged to families. It is led by Headteacher Mr P Brunnock, with Mrs L Thompson serving as ALNCO and Kath Brown as Chair of Governors. The school's catchment draws from Catholic feeder parishes across the north Cardiff and South Wales region.

The school's core educational offering comprises the Curriculum for Wales across Years 7–9, GCSE and KS4 preparation in Years 10–11, the ExCEL enrichment programme, and a comprehensive Careers Programme supporting post-16 transitions. A distinctive specialism is its Additional Learning Needs (ALN) provision, which delivers over 30 specialised interventions including the Thrive Approach, ELSA, Talkabout, EAL Support, and literacy/numeracy programmes such as Renaissance Learning's Accelerated Reader. In July 2025, the school became the first secondary school in Wales to achieve Voice 21 Oracy Centre of Excellence status, recognising it as a vocal and visible advocate for oracy education.

The institution is not a commercial entity and has no disclosed revenue, equity, or venture funding. Technology infrastructure is built entirely on standard third-party educational platforms — HWB (Welsh Government digital learning), SIMS and Arbor (management information systems), Classcharts (parent communication), ParentPay (cashless payments), and Renaissance Learning. Strategic partnerships include Voice 21, SNAP Cymru, Cardiff Family Gateway, and St David's College for post-16 progression. An Admissions Consultation for 2027 is the only forward-looking structural signal in the public material.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Bishop of Llandaff Church in Wales High School: Faith-based comprehensive in Cardiff with a similar faith-school admissions structure and Curriculum for Wales delivery. Direct competitor for faith-aligned families and feeder parish students in the Cardiff area.
• St Teilo's Church in Wales High School: A faith-based (Church in Wales) comprehensive secondary school serving a similar age range in Cardiff. Comparable as a publicly funded, faith-affiliated comprehensive competing for the same north/east Cardiff Catholic and Christian family demographic.
• Mary Immaculate High School: Catholic voluntary-aided secondary school in Cardiff with a similar faith admissions framework and Curriculum for Wales implementation. Overlaps on student demographic, governance structure, and feeder pipeline.
• St Illtyd's Catholic High School: Catholic secondary school in Cardiff serving a comparable 11-16 age range under the Archdiocese of Cardiff. Directly comparable on admissions criteria, faith-based mission, GCSE preparation, and ALN provision model.

Others

• ClassCharts: Parent communication, behaviour tracking, and attendance platform integrated at Corpus Christi. Comparable as an EdTech vendor whose adoption signals the school's digital maturity in parent engagement and pastoral systems.
• Hwb (Welsh Government Digital Learning Platform): Welsh Government-provided digital learning platform used by Corpus Christi for Office 365, Google Workspace, and online learning access. Comparable as an ecosystem enabler supporting the school's Curriculum for Wales delivery rather than a competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Cardiff High School: Established English-medium comprehensive secondary in Cardiff with a strong academic reputation. Comparable on GCSE delivery, curriculum framework, and Cardiff-area secondary school competition, though secular in admissions.
• Whitchurch High School: One of the largest and highest-performing non-faith comprehensive secondary schools in Cardiff. Comparable as a Curriculum for Wales secondary serving north Cardiff with broad ALN and extracurricular provision, though without Catholic admissions criteria.
