A primary school in a Welsh seaside town which set up a pay-what-you-can food shop, launderette and uniform shop to support struggling families is in the running for a global education prize.
Cadoxton Primary School, in Barry, south Wales, is one of six schools in the UK which are on the top 10 shortlists for the T4 Education World’s Best School prizes – more than any other country in the world.
The winners of the five World’s Best prizes – for community collaboration, environmental action, innovation, overcoming adversity, and supporting healthy lives – will each receive 50,000 US dollars . Children and parents run the “pay as you feel” food shop, first launched in June 2020, in a shipping container outside the school community centre.
At Feversham Primary Academy, where around 90% of pupils speak English as an additional language, every child is able to access a musical instrument and tuition throughout their time at school. “A lot of our children come in speaking very little English so we have to do a lot of extra work in teaching them to speak and write English. Music is incredibly good for this because it slows the language down and makes it more accessible to people.”
Sedgefield Hardwick Primary Academy, in County Durham, has been shortlisted for the innovation prize, while Cardiff Sixth Form College has been shortlisted for the supporting healthy lives prize.
