Secondary Schools

Gwaelod y Garth pupils transfer mostly to three secondary schools. The children in the Welsh section mostly transfer to Ysgol Gyfun Plasmawr or Ysgol Garth Olwg. The children in the English section mostly transfer to Radyr Comprehensive School.


A variety of transition activities are provided by the three high schools to ensure smooth transition from one school to another. The headteacher and members of staff meet regularly with the secondary schools to discuss curriculum developments and other subjects that will assist with a smooth transition for all our pupils.

In Year 6 the Local Education Authority send parents a detailed brochure giving all the relevant information regarding the procedure for secondary school applications and
admissions.
