Cadoxton Primary School is a community school with an ambitious vision for the future of education captured in its motto – “Learning and Growing Together, Being our Best Forever”. The school is at the forefront of integrating digital technology into education and it is a leader for the new changes in the Welsh National Curriculum.
We are keen to engage with other Changemaker schools, as well as schools in our locality and beyond, researchers, parents, and businesses for real world learning opportunities, language exchanges, international projects, teacher training or any other real world learning projects.
Changemaking Initiatives include:
- The school runs the VocalEyes programme - a student-led digital forum to discuss and lead to implementation school and community improvement ideas;
- ‘New Deal Pioneer’ initiative - training newly qualified teachers and aspiring school leaders;
- The school leads the Studio Innov8 project – an initiative to share best practices among Welsh schools on the new national education network, Hwb
