Have your say on pioneering educational campus in Fairwater

Proposals are underway to deliver new build schools for Cantonian High School, Riverbank School and Woodlands High School on a shared site in Fairwater and members of the public are asked to share their views on the future of the joint educational campus.

The engagement process will provide an opportunity for people to share their ideas about the benefits and opportunities that are presented by the new campus and feedback will be considered in the development of its vision and how the schools will work best for the communities they serve.

The survey will also ask what parents think should be taught and how it should be delivered in line with a new curriculum for Wales to be rolled out in 2022/23.

Delivered under Cardiff Council and Welsh Governments 21st Century Education Investment Programme, proposals include:

Replacing the Cantonian High School buildings with new build accommodation on the same site expanding the school from six forms of entry (6FE) to eight forms of entry (8FE) with sixth form provision for up to 250 pupils;
Expanding the Specialist Resource Base (SRB) for learners with an Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), hosted at Cantonian High School to 30 places in purpose built accommodation in the new school buildings;
Relocating Woodlands High School to the Fairwater Campus site from its current site adjacent to Trelai Park and increasing the capacity from 140 places to 240 places in new build accommodation;
Relocating Riverbank School to the Fairwater Campus site from its current site adjacent to Trelai Park, and increasing the capacity from 70 to 112 places in new build accommodation

Deputy Leader of Cardiff Council, and Cabinet Member for Education, Employment and Skills, Cllr Sarah Merry, said: "The Fairwater Campus is an ambitious and unique project which will bring together three very different schools, each with their own identity, on one campus.

"The a first of its kind for Cardiff and beyond, the campus will be one of the most educationally advanced institutions in the UK, providing a distinct combination of learning which will allow each school to share facilities, expertise and teaching opportunities and provide an exceptional experience for students, staff and the community."
