Kitchener is a large, exciting, dynamic multi-ethnic school that celebrates the diversity of the Riverside area of Cardiff. The school is very successful and at the heart of this is an ethos that puts the happiness and wellbeing of children first and foremost. We have a strong work ethic and our fantastic team of dedicated staff strives to offer a curriculum that is interesting and fun and enhanced by regular first-hand experiences, enabling everyone to reach their full potential.
Our school is very well resourced with a library, computer suite, and interactive whiteboards in every classroom. We are particularly proud of our Forest School which provides children of all ages with a unique and exciting learning environment. There are a large number of after-school clubs that include football, netball, and art and craft. Kitchener has a strong musical tradition and all children are invited and encouraged to take part in the numerous performances that the school gives across the city in such venues as the St.David’s Hall and the Wales Millennium Centre. At Kitchener, we strive to work in partnership with parents, carers, and members of the wider school community. Each person has a role to play and everyone is encouraged and supported to play an active part in all aspects of school life.
We all live together in Riverside, learning and caring together to be the best we can. Kitchener Primary School is and will be a school where new and exciting things happen. Children are at the heart of everything we do and we strive to provide a caring, happy environment. Everyone works together to ensure that each pupil has the skills, knowledge, values, and confidence to take their next step.
