Howardian High School was the place where Michael Moritz, who went on to make billions in business, received his education, but it the establishment has been shut since 1990.
Now, the building is being given a new lease of life, and is set to be finished on schedule for temporary pupil admissions in September of this year.
The work is being carried out with an awareness of the history of the school and Howardian is being retained as the name. Initially it is set to be a primary school, offering reception and nursery teaching, before it switches to a custom-built community school located close to Howardian Community Education Centre.
Once it is operating as a school again, Howardian will be able to rely on places that provide Stationery printing in Cardiff, to ensure it is equipped with all of the necessary educational stationery it requires.
Interim head teacher, Colin Skinner, told Wales Online that he had spoken to former pupils to ensure its history was respected, adding:
“There are lots of old pictures around the school and there’s a roll of honour of former pupils who gave their lives in the world wars – it’s all still there.”
The education establishment is set to re-open permanently in two years’ time.
