Learners, along with their parents and carers, participated in a school improvement workshop on Wednesday 23rd April. There was the opportunity to reflect on this year’s improvement priorities and think about how successful Cathedral learners, staff and parents/carers have been in taking them forward. 70% of participants graded our success as ‘excellent’ and 30% as ‘very good’.
Learners and parents then had the opportunity to discuss how Cathedral uses its Pupil Equity Fund. There was unanimous agreement that using the majority of the money to fund additional staff for our ‘Attainment Team’ should continue.
Finally, learners and parents looked ahead to our 2025/26 Annual Improvement Plan which, like this year’s plan, will have a dual focus on how we learn and teach and what we learn and teach. Cathedral’s proposed 2025/26 improvement priorities are:
- Continue to secure high learner engagement and attainment across all stages by further developing and embedding high-quality adult-initiated and learner-led learning experiences.
- Build the capacity and confidence of all teaching staff to teach Spanish to their own class and embed stimulating language learning opportunities within day-to-day learning. (Year 1 of 2)
Many thanks to all learners and parents/carers who participated in the school improvement workshop. The information will be communicated to the wider parent body for final consultation.
