Founded in 1996, Cauldwell Primary is a growing and ambitious school. Our Head Teacher, Mrs Apps, has been at the school since 1998 and has carefully embedded a clear ethos based around aspiration and overcoming barriers to achievement.

We serve 420 students between the ages of 4 and 11, since changing to a primary in 2014. We are now an academy, part of HEART Academies Trust. We are a non-selective school and our pupils come from a wide range of social backgrounds, cultures and abilities.

Our vision states that we are committed to Achievement for All, and it cannot be overstated how important that is. Whether they are staff, parents or pupils everyone matters and we take every measure possible to ensure they are valued and supported.

At Cauldwell every child really does matter and we use every resource available to identify and meet the needs of our learners. The wellbeing and safeguarding of each child is of paramount importance to all our staff.

Our curriculum is local, and tailor-made for the community we serve, but it also fully incorporates the National Curriculum. Our intent is that the experience of education must be exciting, irresistible and memorable while ensuring every child achieves their very best.

Parental engagement is a strong focus. At Cauldwell we place great importance on the partnership of home and school in the education of our young children. We believe that by working with parents we can bring the best out in our children. We run a community hub on site where we encourage families to engage in a wide range of activities, from ESOL classes and parenting to craft and family learning.

The school boasts spacious playing fields and an all-weather pitch. The quad, is an enclosed area of garden within the school, where the children learn about the environment and sustainability.

Our last Ofsted inspection took place in November 2021, where we were graded good in every area. Please read our full Ofsted report here.

As part of HEART Academies Trust, we recognise that teachers are the most important factor affecting pupil achievement and therefore staff well-being is high on our priority list. We invest heavily in staff development and work side by side with our teaching staff to ensure excellent teaching. We provide comprehensive training and development opportunities, including an exceptional ECT induction programme and personalised CPD pathways throughout your teaching career.
