About Cardiff Montessori High School
Cardiff Montessori High is made up of 40 students- approximately 10 students per year group. Year 8, 9, 10 and 11 all form the adolescent community. Year 7 students also attend Cardiff Montessori High on occasion but will have the majority of their lessons in the upper elementary class (they are referred to as upper elementary seniors).
Students are expected to complete a minimum of 6 GCSEs (Double Maths, Double Science, English literature and English Language) but are encouraged to complete 8-10.
Typically most optional subjects have 4-6 students, some may have less and some may have more.
The role of the teacher
The teacher is responsible for delivering structured lessons to cover the WJEC curriculum. Lessons are given in small groups or 1:1. When students are not in group lessons they are expected to be doing follow up independent work.
Currently we have 3 students who will be in Year 11 Business students and 6 who will be in Year 10 for September 2026.
In addition to teaching the GCSE curriculum the teacher supports the enterprise of the Year 8 and 9 students. These students run a business to raise money for trips and other aspects of their community. The business teacher helps brainstorm and guide them to make this business more successful.
Recognising the deep transition the teenagers are undergoing, the teacher provide students with the support and guidance needed to navigate this critical stage of human development. The teacher develops an open and welcoming relationship with students while ensuring firm boundaries of acceptable behaviours and work expectations are set. They work closely with the High school guide who oversees the year 8-11 students and is on hand to help direct students with follow up studies.
