Lynda Keith, who supported school staff to develop high-quality play in Primary 1 and 2 from 2021 – 2023, was back in Cathedral on Thursday 21st November to work alongside our nursery practitioners. As many of you will be aware, there have been significant changes to nursery staff since June 2024 and Lynda’s input is part of Cathedral’s strategy to build a fresh team with a shared commitment and the collective capacity to provide the highest quality learning spaces, learning experiences and learning interactions for our children.

The focus on Thursday 21st was integrating literacy and numeracy across all areas of our nursery, including the outdoor area. Cathedral’s nursery practitioners thoroughly enjoyed working alongside Lynda and, by the end of the day, had not only made some physical improvements to spaces but were left inspired and equipped with lots of ideas to take forward in the coming weeks and months.
