The governors seek an exceptional dynamic Headteacher to lead this successful and happy school following the retirement of our current, long-standing Headteacher. The school is based in Penylan, a mixed residential area in the south-east of Cardiff, and serves a culturally and socially diverse urban community. The school is housed in a modern, bespoke, primary school building with extensive grounds, which have been developed into a thriving Forest School and outdoor play areas. Outdoor learning is important to us and every Foundation Phase year group has its own outdoor learning area attached to the classrooms. Howardian is a very popular school and has 453 pupils on roll including an 80 place Nursery. Howardian has 16% free school meal pupils and we are committed to equity and inclusivity, ensuring that all our pupils thrive in the learning environment. We can offer you a dedicated and hardworking staff, enthusiastic pupils backed by supportive parents and an active governing body. We are proud of our many achievements and awards, including being a Rights Respecting Gold award school, a Healthy School Phase 4 and a School of Sanctuary. Health & Wellbeing and Expressive Arts are particularly important to us and we celebrate our talents through regular performances and concerts and by taking part frequently in inter-school sports tournaments.
