Corpus Christi Roman Catholic High School (formerly Lady Mary, Welsh: Ysgol Uwchradd Corpus Christi) is a voluntary aided Roman Catholic secondary school located in Lisvane, Cardiff, Wales. The school is co-educational and accepts children aged 11–16.[2] Corpus Christi has traditionally performed well, with consistently good and above-average performance shown during inspections.[3][4]
History[]
Corpus Christi was founded in 1987, having originally been called Lady Mary High School.[5] The school moved into its new building shortly after this restructuring.
Lady Mary High School originally included its own Sixth Form college.[5] However, the school does not have a sixth form so pupils go to St. David's Catholic College for further education and for some vocational courses at GCSE.
Structure[]
Size[]
In 2015, there were 1042 students enrolled at the school, a slight increase on previous years.[3] Most students come from one of six feeder primary schools in the wider Cardiff area, and the school can accept up to 215 students for each year group.[6] The school is regularly oversubscribed,[7] with places difficult to get for new Year 7 students,[8] particularly for students not from one of the feeder schools.
