ALNCO and PPA Teacher
Miss Sarah Powell
I was very fortunate to join St David's in September 2020. I am orginally from Merthyr Tydfil but I have lived in Cardiff for 5 years. I began my teaching career after completing my PGCE at Cardiff Metropolitan University. I previously taught across a range of year groups in a school in Ebbw Vale before joining the team at St David's. Outside of school, I love cycling, cooking and spending time with family and friends.
I am very passionate about teaching and enjoy supporting children to achieve their very best. I am so pleased to be part of the team at St David's and I look forward to working with you all.

I completed my teaching degree at UWIC in Cardiff and have worked in various schools across Cardiff, Vale of Glamorgan, Rhonnda Cynon Taff and Bridgend. I am enthusiastic and passionate about working at St David’s CIW and am excited to help the children reach their full potential. My roles and responsibilities at St David’s along with being the Nursery teacher is to develop the children’s Health and Wellbeing along with helping the school become a Rights Respecting School. I was delighted that we were able to gain the Bronze Award last year and hope to gain the Silver Award this year. I am very busy with my daughter (who is 12) outside of school and enjoy helping her look after her horse called Eleri. I also have a dog called Sophia, five cats (Louis, Adara, Aleah, Coco and Prince!) and some fish!!

Miss Zoe Morgan
With a lifelong dream of becoming a teacher, I am so proud and honoured to be a part of the wonderful team at St David’s Church In Wales Primary School. Born and raised in Bridgend, I spent my childhood making memories with my close-knit family, enjoying time with friends, and always pursuing my hobbies of singing, dancing, and acting. In 2017, I went to University of South Wales where I studied a three-year teacher training course; gaining experience from a range of primary schools and teachers; graduating with a First-Class Honours Degree. This training stood me in good stead, moulding me into the teacher I always dreamt of becoming.
The minute I walked into St David’s, I fell in love with the ethos, community, and wonderfully warm reception I received. To now say I am a KS2 teacher in this school is a real dream come true. As a teacher, I pride myself on the welfare and happiness of the children in my classroom; whilst giving them a well-rounded and enjoyable education. With every class I have the honour of teaching, I will work my hardest to give them the courage and confidence to shine like the stars they are. I have loved every second of my first year at St David’s and I can’t wait for many more years at this fantastic school.

Outside of school I enjoy watching musical theatre, taking long walks with my dog and travelling to new places.

Mr Scott Norman
Originally from the beautiful location of North Devon, I moved to Cardiff in 2009 to complete my degree and teacher training. After securing my first job in the West Midlands, I couldn't wait to return to Cardiff (which I now think of as home) so thankfully two years later, I joined the team here at St David's (my second home!) in 2016. I am proud to bring a calm, organised and patient personality to the classroom and I wouldn't dream of doing any other job. I enjoy working with the children on their journey to become ambitious and confident learners ready to fulfil their lives in an ever-changing and increasingly digital world. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, including playing with my son, going for walks and, when I'm not too busy, I enjoy completing volunteer work with an adoption charity.

I am very much looking forward to starting the new school year and becoming the Year 6 teacher! I completed my teaching degree at the University of South Wales and I have gained lots of experience working in different schools across the primary phase through various supply work. This will be my first class and I am very excited to see what the year ahead brings! I am very passionate about giving young children the best possible education in life through high quality teaching and learning experiences! My roles and responsibilities at St David’s include supporting Miss Underhill-Jones to develop the children's Health and Wellbeing and running afterschool Health and Fitness clubs. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going for long walks, attending the gym and reading a good book!
