I am delighted to introduce our partnership to you. Formed in June 2019, we are one of the first partnerships in Wales, where two schools have come together, under a shared executive leadership that covers two separate local authorities and regional consortia. While we are still at an early stage of our development, we have already achieved a great deal together and we will continually seek to improve so that we can provide an outstanding education for all our students.

We are not a multi-academy trust and nor are we a federation! Each school exists in its own right, maintaining its own unique characteristics and unique identity. However, we operate as part of a 'family' with a clear aim, and through the power of collaboration, to help our staff deliver an exceptional education to the students in our care. The education system in Wales, like the rest of the country, is constantly evolving and changing. As a partnership of schools, we believe that we can effectively meet these challenges in a purposeful way through collaboratively sharing our expertise to ensure our students receive a high quality experience at school, which sets them up for adult life. A significant strength of the partnership is that the geographical distance between each school means we are not competing with each other. Therefore, we can confidently seek out the best practice, without the unintended competition that exists within the system. It is a genuine privilege to co-ordinate the work across both schools, as we strive towards "excellence" in all that we do for our communities... together. 

Marc Belli - Executive Headteacher

Our vision, as a partnership, is to share the most effective practices in teaching, learning and leadership to enable students to achieve outcomes relative to their potential, while developing the skills, qualities and characteristics to become successful in adult life.

Through partnership, our joint aims and aspirations seek to :

• Provide clear benefits for the children of both schools;  
• Share and develop staff expertise across both schools;
• Enable both schools, individually and collectively, to develop new and innovative ways of working;
• Raise the aspirations of children, staff, parents and governors; and
• Secure strong strategic leadership.

The guiding principle of this partnership is that both individual school maintains and develops their individual characters, ethos and distinctiveness. However, each will seek to use their differences to enhance the experience for children from both schools. 

The Bishop of Llandaff CiW High School in Cardiff, is an 11-18 co-educational comprehensive serving the faith and non-faith communities within the city and surrounding areas including The Vale of Glamorgan, Caerphilly, Rhondda Cynon Taff and Bridgend. It is a high performing school, with outcomes at all levels amongst the best in the country. In 2018, Estyn and Section 50 inspections graded the school "excellent" in every category; and, in late 2019, the school was the first (and only to date) to achieve "World-Class Quality Mark" status. The school has around 1300 students on roll, which includes 300 students in the sixth form.

Caldicot School is a co-education school with over 1300 students in Monmouthshire. The school is located between Chepstow and Newport and is easily accessible via the M4 corridor and on the northern side of the Severn Estuary. Traditionally, the school has been strong performing but, in two of the last three years, performance has been below expectations. However, the school has made massive strides since the establishment of the partnership and now is performing, at least, to its expected performance. In 2017, Caldicot moved into a brand new build and now boasts some of the finest facilities in Wales.
