Mrs Tominey, Mrs Irwin and two Primary 7 learners visited St Andrew’s Primary in Falkirk on Wednesday 25th September. Cathedral Primary is now into year two of working in partnership with the Falkirk school. Last year, Cathedral teachers supported several teachers in St Andrew’s to introduce our Active8 approach to their classrooms. This year, pupils and teachers from the two schools will be collaborating to further develop and improve learning spaces which support high-quality adult-led, adult-initiated and learner-led learning.

Part of the visit on 25th September involved our two Cathedral learners carrying out a learning walk with St Andrew’s pupils and their Head Teacher, Mr Short. Drawing on the way we’ve developed and improved learning spaces here in Cathedral, our learners provided St Andrew’s Primary with some helpful feedback and several new ideas to try out.

Cathedral looks forward to welcoming staff and pupils from St Andrew’s Primary after the October holidays for a similar learning visit.
