Parents

What parents and students have come to realise since we first set up in 1999 is that Cardiff Academy is an institution that puts the child first. What they have discovered here is an educational ethos that respects the individual. As a result, all students at Cardiff Academy are given the chance to show what they can do under the best possible circumstances and in the knowledge that, no matter what happens, we will always be there to support them. This is a powerful message and one which is being increasingly recognised by students in Cardiff and beyond every year.

The Academy

Our small class sizes are fundamental to delivering our educational goals. With an average class size of 6, Cardiff Academy offers a learning environment where each student can thrive and reach their full potential. Opposed to many other schools, this environment ensures that students always have a productive learning space in which to focus, free from the distractions which can be common in larger groups. Teachers can progress through each course at an accelerated rate, whilst also having the time to provide meaningful one-to-one support and feedback to each student.

Classes

When students start their studies at Cardiff Academy, we begin to plan their journey with us. During induction, students meet with a member of the leadership team to discuss their interests, goals, learning preferences and particular areas where they may need support, all of which are used to create an individual profile. The profile provides information which is essential for our teachers to provide the very best teaching to each student, as it is the foundation for a student’s individual learning plan. The plan is updated regularly throughout a student’s journey with us, cumulating in a learning experience which is always tailored, for each individual, to be as meaningful as possible.

PLanning

The teachers at Cardiff Academy are experts in their fields, with a multitude of experiences both in teaching and in industry. This means that our teachers are excellent at delivering and assessing their subjects and have a breadth of understanding outside each specified course, which inspires students to think about the big picture. Our students have always asked insightful questions, knowing that their teacher has the ability to answer each of them precisely, and empowers them to ask even more. It motivates them to further hypothesise and think outside the box, sparking many interesting debates within classes.

Experts

The landscape of education is ever changing and, as such, Cardiff Academy’s teachers are required to keep up to date with the most recent advances in learning approaches and theories. Paramount to this is the amount of digital tools and resources which are used to provide students with opportunities for more meaningful learning. All of our staff are trained in using educational technology for this purpose, and students appreciate the diversity and effectiveness of these varied approaches.

Enrichment

At Cardiff Academy, we offer a variety of enrichment activities to help develop our students, both academically and socially. Academic challenges, workshops, work experience, and talks by visiting professionals, all seek to diversify our students’ understanding of the world and support them to grow as individuals. There are a range of regular clubs, activities, and events, held at Cardiff Academy, many of which are organised and run by our students themselves, which creates a real sense of community within our walls.

Future

Our goal is to provide the very best education to our students so that their futures can be bright. We do not see this preparation as purely academic, although this is, of course, an important factor, rather we focus on developing a student’s whole persona. After all, a student’s academic qualities do not define their entire character, and it is their other facets which make them who they are, and who they could be in the future.
