Cadans Primair

What Cadans Primair does

Cadans Primair is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting Cadans Primair) that operates a network of 12 Catholic and interdenominational primary schools across nine municipalities in the province of North Brabant. The schools are located in Sint-Michielsgestel, Den Dungen, Gemonde, Berlicum, Middelrode, Esch, Helvoirt, Haaren, and Biezenmortel, each maintaining its own identity, focus areas, and local community presence while sharing common core values of eigenaarschap (ownership), vertrouwen (trust), and ontwikkeling (development). The legal entity is headquartered at Schildershof 1A, 5271 BM Sint-Michielsgestel, and operates under a classic Dutch foundation governance model with a single-person executive board led by Bestuurder Marianne van Wegberg and a six-member Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board) chaired by Servaas Rouwhorst.

The foundation generates revenue through Dutch government primary-education funding (lumpsum per pupil) routed via the Ministry of Education, with no direct tuition fees charged to families. Each school operates as a wholly-owned operating unit under the foundation umbrella, supported by a central Bestuurskantoor that handles onderwijs & kwaliteit (education and quality), financial administration, ICT, and general administration. Cadans Primair participates in the Dommelgroep collaboration with school boards SKOPOS and Talentis, which together cover 34 primary schools and share services in HR, finance, housing, and a substitutes/temp staff pool. The foundation is also a member of Samenwerkingsverband PO De Meierij for special-needs education coordination and partners with Plaza Cultura for cultural education curriculum enrichment.

The customer base consists of families with primary-school-age children residing in the nine served municipalities; families contact individual schools directly for enrollment. Cadans Primair markets through 12 individual school websites, the Social Schools parent-communication platform, and a dedicated recruitment portal (werkenbijcadansprimair.nl) for teacher and staff vacancies. The organization publishes an AVG/GDPR-compliant privacy statement (April 2023 version) and operates as a non-public entity with no external shareholders, no funding rounds, and no disclosed headcount or revenue figures in scraped materials.
