Acting headteacher - Mrs A James

At Llanishen Fach Primary School, we are a caring and inclusive community that values a strong sense of belonging and shared purpose. Together, we nurture a love of learning in a safe, inclusive and inspiring environment where wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. Every child and staff member is valued and empowered to thrive. We are an innovative, forward-looking school, committed to continuous reflection and growth for both pupils and staff.

We work hand in hand with families and the wider community. Everyone has a voice and everyone belongs. We believe in the power of teamwork between pupils, staff, parents and the wider community to achieve shared success. We encourage every child to try their best, embrace mistakes, never give up and bounce back from failure. We learn from challenges and grow stronger together.

We believe all children can achieve great things. We encourage curiosity and help every child to flourish academically, socially and emotionally. Through high expectations, creativity, and strong community partnerships, we aim to develop confident, compassionate, well-rounded learners who are proud of who they are and who are prepared for the challenges of tomorrow and to contribute positively to the world around them.

We use shared evidence-based practice to shape a creative, nurturing learning environment. Our curriculum continues to evolve and develop through partnership with our pupils and the wider community, and delivers on our determination to foster the acquisition of wide-ranging skills and nurture a caring empathetic outlook.

Our aim for Llanishen Fach Primary School is that, in any one day, you will see teachers and pupils learning through a wide range of strategies; children participating in an outstanding range of extra-curricular activities, some of which are led by pupils themselves; parents participating in many aspects of school life; pupils using their initiative and playing an active role in school improvement; a school that is a focal part of the community; and children who are confident and not afraid to make mistakes.

Above all, you will sense the buzz and excitement of learning, which we sincerely hope our pupils will maintain throughout their lives.

At Llanishen Fach Primary School, we promote four key values (the 4Cs) that shape our learning community:

• Care – We look after ourselves, each other, and our environment, creating a safe and supportive place for everyone.
• Courtesy – We show respect and good manners in all that we do, helping to build positive relationships across the school.
• Cooperation – We work together, support one another, and celebrate success as a team.
• Confidence – We encourage every child to believe in themselves, try new things, and reach their full potential.

Together, these values help our pupils grow into kind, respectful, and resilient learners.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school.
