The Shared Vision of Grangetown Nursery School
Uniting Together, Shaping Our Future
The central aim of the school is to develop high levels of emotional, social and physical well-being in all children. The interdependent team of creative educators work closely together to promote this central aim.
The school celebrates the diversity of our community, carefully considering and respecting the variety of cultures, backgrounds, individual needs and gender.
The school promotes inclusion & equal opportunities. We ensure that the environment reflects the multi-lingual nature of Grangetown, including Welsh and other community languages.
All children are given opportunities to access learning taking into account their individual stage of development.
Parents/Carers are the first and most important educators of their children. We aim to develop positive relationships with families, taking into account their needs as we support each child in their first steps beyond the home.
The school aims to develop an integrated approach, making links with the wider community, forging genuine relationships with other professionals and outside agencies.
The school works closely with neighbouring schools in order to make the transition from Nursery to Primary a happy and positive experience.
The school provides a safe and secure environment that’s exciting and stimulating.
Grangetown Nursery School is a place where children flourish and become genuinely engaged in their learning, resulting in happy, independent, confident, individual learners.

For the past few years the parents/carers and children from Grangetown Nursery School have enjoyed decorating shoe boxes and filling them up with small gifts.
The gifts are sent to disadvantaged children all over the world.
We will be collecting the finished shoe boxes at school during the week commencing 19th October 2009. Examples of some finished boxes are on display in the children's cloakroom.
Previously the children have really enjoyed putting together the shoe boxes ready for the long journey overseas. Therefore we have always had a terrific response.
Any Queries please see Carol Bartlett,
Thank you! |

As part of our Eco Schools work, we are delighted to share with the community the progress we are making in our recycling and energy saving.
We have recently begun to compost our food waste via the county collection system.
The children have taken part in Tidy Town, along with neighbouring schools picking up litter in the immediate locality.
The school is saving energy by making sure lights are switched off if not needed, water is not wasted and heating is not on at times of the day that do not benefit the children.
If parents/carers wish to view the data we recently received that tracks our energy usage, please feel free to ask.
We are waiting to hear if our Green Flag Status is to be renewed - we are confident that the children's efforts will be recognised.
For a good look at Tidy Town follow this link: http://grangetownnur.cardiff.sch.uk/gallery/album28
