The inspection report highlights many strengths, including the great role model for Christian leadership shown by the headteacher, Mrs Holt, the dedication of the staff and the motivation and enthusiasm of the pupils.
Together, Mrs Holt, the staff and governors have fostered an environment where every child knows they are loved, is motivated to learn and believes they can achieve.
Children from families of all faiths and backgrounds are welcomed at The Cathedral School, which was the first primary school in Lancaster to be awarded School of Sanctuary.
This welcome extends well beyond the school doors. Pupils, their families and staff work together throughout the year to reach out to others in the area and to support charities, inspired by their mission to carry God’s love to others.
