Bro Edern Cluster Vision

Our Vision

The Bro Edern Cluster Curriculum is designed to meet the needs of our pupils, who come from diverse backgrounds in a in Cardiff East, the capital city of Wales. The Four Purposes are at the heart of the Bro Edern Cluster Curriculum. Although these are long term purposes, they require daily attention in order to be realized.

The Welsh language and its historical development are central to our vision, as we guide pupils who are proud of our civic heritage in our capital city. Purposeful integration of our curriculum areas ensures that Bro Edern Cluster pupils benefit from the breadth of the curriculum while focusing on What Matters.

The people studied in the Bro Edern Cluster Curriculum are a diverse cross section and include role models who are inspirational to the whole range of pupils in the cluster.  Growing up in a multicultural city where cohabitation and harmony are a key part of daily life, fostering tolerance and respect in our pupils is essential.

Encouraging ambition in our pupils means developing strong skills and strategies to enable them to face success and failure. Perseverance and resilience are key as part of the growth mind-set fostered in our pupils. Sound knowledge that provides the foundation for cluster pupils to benefit from skills and experiences that can be transferred to a variety of contexts today, and in the future.

Cluster schools have the ability to transform the lives of our pupils. This is where they gain the knowledge, skills and experiences that will enrich the rest of their lives. The roots and wings in the Cluster logo encapsulate this.
