Welcome Message from the Executive Headteacher
It gives me great pleasure to write to you as Executive Headteacher of St David's CiW Primary School and to welcome you to what I am sure will be another very busy and exciting year ahead!
Since starting my post as Headteacher at St David's, I have been tremendously impressed by the whole school community, especially the children. Every time I step onto the yard I am welcomed by a sea of inquisitive smiley faces, each desperate to learn and immensely proud of their school.
Our school has a dedicated team that works very hard to reach high standards in everything we do and this is further embedded through our successful relationships with our parents and the wider community. The children are at the heart of every decision we make to ensure that they are happy, confident individuals and that the opportunities we provide for them are relevant to their needs both now and in the future.
Through our engaging curriculum, we ensure that children can foster a passion for learning that will help to develop high aspirations and a lifetime of memories. We believe in ensuring that children receive a well-rounded curriculum; where individual talents can be spotted and nurtured to ensure that all children experience success and reach their full potential.
We look forward to working in close partnership with you throughout the year ahead, to ensure your child develops a love for learning and strong friendships, thus enabling them to be the best they can be. Please may we ask in return for your support in promoting our school’s core values with your child. These values are respect, truth, trust, compassion friendship and responsibility.
I hope that this website will give you as much information as possible about our school, the staff and the many activities that our children enjoy through our curriculum and our extra-curricular activities that you need. It will grow over time as we add more information, but can never replace the first-hand experience of coming to visit us.
I am very excited to lead St David' CiW Primary School into future opportunities and I look forward to the many challenges in the years ahead.
Best wishes,
Mrs Claire Cook

Class Teacher - Ogmore (Year 6)
Originally from Manchester, I moved to Cardiff in 2016 to study at Cardiff Metropolitan University. I studied an undergraduate degree in Drama and Education. After leaving I spent time working in a residential home and school with children and young adults with Autism. I then went and studied a primary PGCE at UWE in Bristol. After completion of my PGCE, I took some time out from teaching. I came back into teaching in January 2023. I spent time working in schools across Cardiff, The Vale of Glamorgan and Bridgend. I was luckily enough to cover a supply placement in St David’s during the summer term in 2023. I loved the school’s values, students, staff, and the friendly environment that St David’s has created. I was lucky enough to be offered the opportunity to stay on and teach in year 6. I am excited to be spending my first teaching year in such an amazing school with fantastic pupils.
