Sitting on Saredone Road, this primary academy is a school where students and staff members alike believe that 'every day counts' and 'every child matters'.

So ingrained in their close-knit community are these two statements that they form the school's motto, and are spoken in the hallways each and every day.

Featuring an outdoor forest school, a variety of sports, and plenty of extracurricular activities to get involved with, Cheslyn Hay Primary Academy isn't just a place to learn; It's a place to grow.

Leading the school is Cheslyn Hay Primary Academy headteacher, Mr Craig Griffiths, who has a keen belief that every child at his school should be heard, and that every day should be made to count. 

He said: "Our school motto is ‘Every Child Matters, Every Day Counts’ and we truly believe this. At Cheslyn Hay Primary, we want to recognise every child’s uniqueness and make sure they are all seen, heard and supported. 

"We want every child to do their best and make the most of every day to grow and learn and reach their personal potential.
