Parents and carers of children in Primary 3–7 joined us on Tuesday 3 February for an Active8 Family Learning session. The event opened with an insightful presentation from Mr Young, who outlined the educational theory behind Cathedral’s approaches and explained the careful balance of adult‑led, adult‑initiated and learner‑led experiences. Mr Young also highlighted the strong similarities between Cathedral’s approaches and those of primary schools in Finland, widely recognised as one of the world’s leading education systems.
Following the presentation, families headed into classrooms and learning streets where they explored a range of activities alongside their children.
A second Active8 Family Learning session will take place on Thursday 5th February for families of children in Primary 3/4, 4a, 5a, 4/5, 6a, 7a and 7c.
