St Illtyd’s College was founded by the De La Salle Brothers in 1923 to educate boys from the local Catholic community of South wales.
In 1987 the college merged with Heathfield house to become a co-educational comprehensive school, seen today as St Illtyd’s Catholic High School.
In 2023 we are celebrating the schools centenary year, if you have any stories or images from the past 100 years of the schools history please get in touch we’d love to hear them.
We will be celebrating our centenary mass on Thursday 5th October at 7pm at St Alban’s Church, Splott, Cardiff we would love to see as many of our alumni and supports there to share with us.
I was a pupil at St Illtyd’s College from 1939 to 1945. I remember the College being bombed. We carried on attending school in the half of the building that survived the bombing. My school desk was balancing on rubble between rubble between the damaged part of the school and the part that survived!
