Much of the school was built during the 1950s, but some buildings (the new Science block for example) were built in later decades. The School has a hockey pitch, indoor tennis courts, fields for athletics/cricket/football and rugby and enters teams in a variety of competitions - usually competing against local schools.

The School has a student council formed in mid 2006. This council consists of two students from each year from 7-11 voted in by the whole year.

LHTV is a small TV Station based at the school. It has produced films on Bullying, Uniform and is one about "Transition" from the England and Wales Year 6 to Year 7; the move from primary school to high school.

The school is on Heol Hir and the Head Teacher is Mr. R. Smyth BA MA NPQH. Deputy head teachers are Mr Holland, Mr Rogers, Mr Graham and Mrs Stringer.

Controversy hit the school in 2006 when a fight was recorded using a mobile phone and broadcast via YouTube. The fight made national headlines due to its violent nature, the fact the two girls were aged around 13-15 and also because they were clearly wearing Llanishen High School attire.

There are three teachers out of the 100 at Llanishen with PhDs, Dr Littler (History), Dr Lloyd (Mathematics) and Dr Groves (Mathematics).
