Where girls learn without limits
HOWELL’S School, Llandaff GDST, has been teaching girls to learn without limits since 1860.
This summer, 73% of all GCSE grades were A*-A, 52% of all A-level results were A*-A grades, and 80% of all grades were A*-B.
The Cardiff school is passionate about the futures of its girls, and the teaching staff are experts in helping girls to fulfil their promise. It understands that every girl is an individual, and that talent and potential lie within each one of us.
The girls’ academic achievements are always celebrated, and they go hand-in-hand with co-curricular activities that inspire and challenge them, a community that supports them, and the opportunities to pursue their passions and learn from their failures.
From playing chess to performing in a rock band, debating current affairs to playing cricket, the school believes that education doesn’t stop when the bell rings at the end of the school day.
Girls thrive in a single-sex environment. At Howell’s, girls mature into young adults in a culture free from bias or social pressure from boys, encouraging them to believe that nothing is beyond their reach or consideration.
Howell’s School, Llandaff GDST provides the motivation, self-belief and resilience for its girls to feel confident about their abilities; and delights in watching them grow to become more assertive and willing to take risks, to ask questions and make mistakes.
The five-acre site has an incredible feeling of space for a city centre school, with significant green space, a swimming pool and sports complex with modern pavilion and floodlight, all-weather pitches.
