Thank you for showing an interest in our school. Choosing the right primary school is an important decision for any family, and we are proud to welcome you to St Andrew’s Major Church in Wales Primary School. 

Our school is situated in the village of Dinas Powys and plays an active and valued role within the local community. We are extremely proud of our school and of the strong, positive relationships that exist between our children, families, staff, governors, the Church and the wider community. By working together in partnership, we create a supportive, nurturing environment where every child is known, valued and encouraged to succeed. 

St Andrew’s Major Church in Wales Primary School serves its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice, while warmly welcoming all children and families, whatever their background. Our shared values help to shape a caring, inclusive school where everyone feels a strong sense of belonging. 

Our school motto — Respect, Believe, Achieve — underpins daily life at St Andrew’s Major. We encourage children to show respect for themselves and others, to believe in their abilities, and to achieve their very best academically, socially and emotionally. 

We aim to do the very best for all our pupils in ways that meet their individual needs. We value every child and take great pride in the dedication, commitment and professionalism of our staff, who work closely with families to support each child’s learning, wellbeing and personal development. 

We are incredibly proud of our pupils. As a happy and caring school, we have high expectations of behaviour, effort and kindness. Children are encouraged to develop their talents, work hard, support one another and celebrate success together. 

This website offers just a glimpse of what our school has to offer. The best way to truly understand life at St Andrew’s Major is to visit us. I warmly invite you to make an appointment to meet me, tour the school and meet our wonderful pupils and staff. We look forward to welcoming you.
