Cwmpadarn Primary School aims to provide a supportive community within a happy environment, where everyone is motivated and challenged to achieve their potential. We believe that our emphasis on quality and high standards, in both work and behavior, will provide our children with a positive attitude for life and a firm foundation on which to base their future learning.
Ysgol Cwmpadarn Primary School is a village school in a town setting and there has been a primary school located in the village of Llanbadarn since 1873. The current school is situated one mile east of Aberystwyth in the village with 66 pupils on the roll.
Over the past four years, the play ground and woodland areas have been developed and significantly improved to meet the requirements of the Foundation Phase, these changes have also contributed towards the school's credentials as an Eco-School, and have played a part towards the school achieving the coveted Green Flag Award.
The playground is situated at the front of the school has a segregated infant decked area, a tiring trail, and adventure playground equipment. All pupils have the opportunity to plant their seeds, bulbs, and plants in the designated garden area to the rear of the school. The school grounds also have one-third of an acre of woodland which is used to develop the children's understanding of their environment, significant funding has recently been received to develop the woodland into a forest garden, an exciting project in action.
Cwmpadarn has been accredited as a ‘Healthy School’ and has recently been awarded its fourth ‘Quality Mark’ for standards achieved in education. In 2009 Cwmpadarn gained the ‘Intermediate International Certificate’ for its ‘East West’ links and pupil/teacher exchange with Ireland and is now following this exiting development through joining the Comenius Programme in 2011 to further develop its international credentials with schools in France, Finland, Ireland, and Wales. This program of study also contributed towards the school achieving its 'Full International Achievement Award 'in the autumn term of 2012.
In the Summer of 2013 Cwmpadarn Pupils, Parents and Staff also achieved their 'Third ECO Flag' and are now working towards the final Platinum Award. The age range of pupils is from four to eleven, with a child being admitted to school if he/she has attained the eligible age of four years.
