This continues to result in highly engaged learners across the school who are attaining and achieving to their full potential.<\/li>\n<li>Cathedral has had a dedicated focus on our Catholic ethos this year, with teachers working together to make Religious Education lessons more engaging and regular opportunities for pupils and staff to grow in their faith.<\/li>\n<li>We have continued to give learners opportunities to develop their computing skills and use digital technology across the curriculum.<\/li>\n<li>The National Schools Singing Programme, funded by Motherwell Diocese, continues to give our Primary 4 learners weekly access to high-quality music lessons. Cathedral school choir has continued to go from strength to strength.<\/li>\n<li>To ensure we are outward looking, Cathedral has worked in partnership with St Andrew\u2019s Primary, Falkirk, and St Mary&#8217;s Primary, Bo&#8217;ness as part of this year\u2019s improvement journey.<\/li>\n<li>Our \u2018Attainment Team\u2019 has continued to deliver a range of targeted interventions, supporting high levels of attainment in literacy and numeracy across the school and helping Cathedral Primary continue to make positive headway in closing the poverty-related attainment gap.<\/li>\n<li>Cathedral achieved its third Gold Sports Award in March.<\/li>\n<li>And, of course, although we are unable to give specific details, Cathedral Primary had a very successful inspection in May 2025. We look forward to the report being published after the summer holidays!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cathedral\u2019s 2024\/25 Annual Improvement Report, which provides detailed information on the school\u2019s improvement journey over the past twelve months, can be accessed via the link below:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/public\/olga\/uploads\/sites\/26254\/2025\/06\/19124623\/Cathedral-Primary-School-AIR-June-2025-Copy-1.pdf\">Cathedral Primary School AIR June 2025 &#8211; Copy (1)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been another exciting year here at Cathedral and our 2024\/25 Improvement Plan has helped our school and nursery community drive forward change to improve outcomes for our learners.
