As part of Come Clubbing @ Cathedral, Primary 7 pupils recently completed Young Leaders training with our resident Active Schools Co-ordinator, Fiona Russell. The Young Leader Award is a great introduction to leadership, giving young people aged eleven and over the knowledge and skills to organise and lead small games and activities that can be used as a part of club sessions. Primary 7 engaged in a three-week training programme and were awarded certificates on completion of the module.
Young leaders are now delivering daily lunch time clubs to our Primary 2 and 3 pupils. Our current lunchtime clubs are:
- Football Skills
- Multi Sports
- Team building
- Traditional playground games
Many congratulations to our Young Leaders. We wish them every success delivering sessions and inspiring our younger pupils!
2025 will be very significant in the faith life of Cathedral Primary School. Not only has Pope Francis asked that 2025 be a year of Jubilee, we will also celebrate the 150th anniversary of Cathedral school and parish. How incredible to think that pupils, staff, parents and parishioners are part of a community of faith and learning stretching back fifteen decades!
To allow us to finalise our programme of events for the combined 150th Anniversary and Jubilee 2025 celebrations, Cathedral’s House Captains gathered ideas from parishioners after each of the St Luke’s and Cathedral

Many thanks to parents and carers for your donations!
A new lunchtime coding club for Primary 3 pupils started on Wednesday 30th October. Mrs Tominey, however, was able to take a back seat as this enthusiastic, tech-savvy Primary 4 learner stepped in to lead the club and support the younger pupils with their digital activities. Very impressive, indeed, and certainly an example of developing the workforce of the future!
Following an autumn walk in the school grounds, these Primary 2 pupils enjoyed some Halloween learner-led learning on Wednesday 30th October. The children gathered lots of branches on their walk and, once back inside, worked together to make broomsticks. Planning, designing, creating and teamwork were just four of the skills the children told Mr Young they were using.
There was a SPOOK-tacularly good atmosphere in the hall on Tuesday 29th October for our Halloween discos. Costumes across all stages were absolutely fantastic and the boys and girls had a great time showing off their spooky dance moves!
