About us

We value every child and not only want them to receive an excellent education but also to feel happy safe and secure, providing an environment in which every child can thrive. Our Cadoxton Way is based upon children being hooked on authentic learning experiences, a balance of knowledge and skills that are purposeful and engaging. Our innovative 21st Century curriculum is built on curiosity and inquiry that is informed by children’s interests and provides them with the skills and experiences to become confident lifelong learners. We are fully committed to the ambition of the Curriculum for Wales, for our children to be:
1. Ambitious, capable learners
2. Ethical, informed citizens
3. Healthy, confident individuals
4. Enterprising, creative contributors
Cadoxton works in partnership with our Pencoedtre cluster of schools collaborating to achieve the best for children. We want to always work in genuine partnership with parents and the wider community, nurturing a love of learning aiming to support and equip every child with the tools they need to succeed in life.
This is the Cadoxton Way! Learning and Growing Together, Being our Best Forever!
