Why?

​

At Cadoxton Primary School, we are deeply committed to supporting not only our vulnerable children but also their families. We use our grant funding purposefully to create lasting, sustainable change. Our provision includes dedicated ‘Cwtch’ safe spaces, where children are given time and support to meet their individual learning needs.

Our Family Engagement Team plays a vital role in promoting Continuous Learning, ensuring families have the skills, confidence, and access to technology they need to support their children’s education. Based in our Community Centre, a full-time team works closely with families to provide tailored support and empower them to thrive.

Alongside this, our skilled team of Learning Support Assistants work collaboratively with teachers and leaders to meet the social, emotional, and academic needs of our most vulnerable learners, helping every child to be ‘Ready to Learn’ and achieve their full potential.

Our mission is simple yet powerful — to achieve equity for all
