What the Cathedral School offers
Seniors (Years 7-13) at The Cathedral School
Academic Study and Results
To study is a joy and privilege. New discoveries unfold; the best which has been celebrated and understood by the writers, artists, scientists and philosophers of previous generations is passed on afresh to our pupils.
Beyond the Curriculum
At the Cathedral School we place great emphasis on the co-curricular, the learning which goes on outside the classroom, widening horizons and helping young people develop interests and enthusiasms which will enrich their adult lives.
Year 7 Entry
Each year, we offer 25-30 places to external applicants wishing to join us in Year 7. The process for application involves entrance tests, an informal interview and a reference from the child's current school.
What the Sixth Form Offers
The Cathedral School Sixth Form offers excellent teaching and facilities, combined with outstanding pastoral care and a wide ranging co-curricular programme, giving students the opportunity to reach their full potential, both academically and personally, in a vibrant, fun and supportive environment.
Pastoral Care
Every Senior pupil is part of one of three Houses, each led by dedicated Heads of Houses who provide personal support. With guidance from House Tutors, the Chaplain, School Counsellor, and the Assistant Head (Safeguarding) pupils have a strong support network to help them navigate school life.
