Cwmaber Infants School is a caring, vibrant and welcoming community where all pupils and staff are valued equally. All pupils have access to every aspect of school life. There is an inclusive ethos that supports all pupils and adults well.

Pupil voice is actively encouraged by all members of staff in order to develop genuine ownership of school life and initiatives. The school follows Article 12 of the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child, which states “when adults are making decisions that affect pupils, pupils have the right to say what they think should happen and have their opinions taken into account”.

At Cwmaber Infants School, we believe that children need to be active participants in their own education and to feel that their opinions will be heard in the wider school community.
