Howell's School, Llandaff is Wales' premier independent school, educating girls aged 3 -18 and boys aged 16 -18.
Über uns
Howell’s School, Llandaff has been educating Cardiff's daughters since 1860. Our school was founded on a pioneering approach to educating girls, and our future aims are no less ambitious. A Howell’s girl is free to be herself. She is free to be ambitious, to be competitive, to be creative; to be a sports captain, a scientist, or a clown. Howell’s girls mature into young adults in a culture free from gender bias, encouraging them to believe that nothing is beyond their reach or consideration. All this develops a self-confidence and resilience that stays with them throughout their lives. Research currently shows that girls’ confidence starts to decline at the age of 8, and it only improves from the age of 80. Howell’s instills in girls the confidence they need for a successful future, and the teachers delight in watching them grow to become more assertive and willing to ask questions, make mistakes and take risks. We are proud to be a part of the Girls Day School Trust.

We were delighted to welcome Dr Simon Hyde, General Secretary of the HMC (The Heads' Conference), to Howell's this morning. Dr Hyde was welcomed by Mrs Davis, who was keen to share with him all our recent news and development plans, and hear what other HMC member schools are up to. College students Lois and Jessica gave Dr Hyde a tour of the school. In the Prep School, Year 4 were excited to meet such an important visitor, and were thrilled to show him what they are working on. Thank you so much for coming, Dr Hyde; come back and see us again soon!

"Girls who attend all-girls schools get better exam results than girls with similar records and backgrounds at mixed schools – and outdo boys at all-boys schools – according to research." We were thrilled to find this research featured in The Guardian, featuring a comment from our CEO, Cheryl Giovannoni.

Yesterday, we were delighted to host the critically acclaimed artist Nathan Wyburn Art at Howell’s. Nathan, a Welsh variety act artist and media personality, is renowned for his innovative approach to creating celebrity portraits and pop culture imagery using unconventional materials such as foodstuffs and household items. In 2011, Wyburn showcased his talent on the TV talent show Britain’s Got Talent, where he astounded audiences by crafting a portrait of judge Michael McIntyre using Marmite on toast. During his visit, Nathan captivated our Prep School assembly and led two engaging finger painting classes for Years 2 and 4. Inspired by their exploration of India this term, Year 4 embarked on creating exquisite elephant depictions. Year 2, eagerly anticipating our upcoming Eisteddfod, skilfully crafted Welsh dragon flags with pride. Nathan also visited the Senior School, where he engaged with a group of A level students, sharing insights into his career and offering invaluable advice to our budding artists. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Nathan for a truly inspiring day.
