In this Parents’ Handbook we have brought together some of the information you will need while your child is at the School. We hope that you will find it informative, both in terms of the School’s ethos, but also in the provision of practical guidance on day to day organisation. We are committed to creating and maintaining an educational environment which nurtures, nourishes and stimulates young minds and talents; one where the children can gain both a thorough academic foundation but also a wealth of experiences and challenges. We want the pupils to feel proud of their School. We want them to enjoy a secure and ordered framework through which they can develop their self-esteem and confidence as they mature intellectually and emotionally, and as they discover the riches of successful participation and achievement. Furthermore, we hope that, when they leave the School, they will take with them warm friendships and cherished memories that will last a lifetime. At the Cathedral School we are always seeking to improve in all that we do, whether in the classroom, on the sports field, in extra-curricular activities or in the general administration and organisation of the School.
