Rumney High School is an English medium co-educational, community school in the Rumney area of Cardiff, Wales. The school serves the communities of Rumney, Trowbridge and St Mellons on the eastern side of Cardiff and was opened in the 1950s alongside Llanrumney High School. It is a mixed sex school with 786 children aged 11–16 attending.
The school has made progress in establishing a better way of learning for their students with the new headteacher, Mr G.Cooke, and the rest of the senior management team managing to turn the school around showing positive results in all areas and making it an easier and more friendly environment to learn in.[1]
The school motto is 'Opportunities and success for all’
A proposal to close Rumney High School and Llanrumney High School was published by the Cardiff Council on 20 March 2009. A total of 1257 objections were registered during the objection period to the 20 May 2009. The proposal is due to be implemented in 2012.[2]
Reasons cited include the fact that both of the schools are old and falling into a state of disrepair, the intention is to rebuild one new state of the art high school building on the existing Llanrumney site, with Rumney High School grounds being sold to fund the project. The proposed new school would form a partnership with Cardiff High School and Willows High School, with pupils entering further education at Coleg Glan Hafren, or elsewhere in the city where appropriate.[3]
