Parents and carers of children in Primary 3–7 joined us on Thursday 5th February for our second Active8 Family Learning session. The event opened with an insightful presentation from Mrs Duffy, who outlined the educational theory behind Cathedral’s approaches and explained the careful balance of adult‑led, adult‑initiated and learner‑led experiences. Mrs Duffy 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.
