Lansdowne Primary School is a Victorian primary school that opened in 1898 in Canton, Cardiff, Wales.

Present day

In the last 20 years the school has seen the fabric of the building being renovated with new double glazing on the first floor of the Juniors building. In the mid 1990s a nursery school was added and about a year after the schools centenary year the over grown and neglected nature garden was removed. On the cusp of the new Millennium the long standing headmaster, Mr Davies retired and was presented with a wooden garden bench as a mark of gratitude from staff and pupils. In the early 2000s Lansdowne School was granted grade 2 Listing as a historic building.

There are currently 382 children attending the school from nearly 200 local families. 71% of the children attending the school are from the local area and within walking distance. Lansdowne also has a Nursery Unit.

In November 2007 Cardiff Council proposed to close Lansdowne Primary School to provide a new site for the Welsh medium primary school in Canton.

On 17 January 2008 Lansdowne Primary celebrated its 110th Birthday.
