St Teilo’s Church in Wales High School was opened in September 1966 as an 11-16 school and provides a church school comprehensive education for secondary students living mainly in the eastern half of Cardiff. It is now one of three Voluntary Aided Secondary Schools in the Diocese of Llandaff and serves a much wider geographical and spiritual ‘catchment’ area; many students come from the Diocese of Monmouth and as far away as Caerphilly.
As a Voluntary Aided school, the Local Education Authority maintains it, but the Church through its Governing Body, has considerable spiritual, financial, administrative, and educational duties towards it. The teaching staff are appointed by the Governing Body who have a responsibility to ensure that the curriculum and general life of the school is maintained through a sound Christian foundation.
