There was the opportunity to reflect on this year&#8217;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 &#8216;excellent&#8217; and 30% as &#8216;very good&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Learners and parents then had the opportunity to discuss how Cathedral uses its <strong>Pupil Equity Fund<\/strong>. There was unanimous agreement that using the majority of the money to fund additional staff for our &#8216;Attainment Team&#8217; should continue.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, learners and parents looked ahead to our 2025\/26 Annual Improvement Plan which, like this year&#8217;s plan, will have a dual focus on\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>how<\/em><\/span> we learn and teach and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>what <\/em><\/span>we learn and teach.
