- Ten miles west of Cardiff, in the Vale of Glamorgan, Cowbridge can trace its roots back to the foundation of a grammar school in 1608. The original grammar, which counted the actor Anthony Hopkins among its alumni, became a comprehensive in 1974. More recently Cai Evans, the Wales and Dragons rugby player, attended the school.
- Recognising that “high performance, success and happiness in school” require healthy and resilient young people, the school has a dedicated group of staff who drive the school’s vision for health and wellbeing.
- Cowbridge is an all-through state school, with an age range from 3-18.
- A redevelopment completed in 2010 brought together pupils from three sites into a single location with new and refurbished facilities.
- Extracurricular activities include a 5x60 programme of indoor and outdoor workouts to promote physical and mental wellbeing. There are many musical and drama groups, and clubs ranging from Rotary Interact to Cowbridge Comprehensive Television (CCTV).
