Our Beliefs

At Cathedral Grammar we believe pupils learn best when they:

• feel safe to share, make mistakes and take risks in a warm, nurturing environment.
• are highly motivated to learn and are accountable for their learning tasks and outcomes.
• understand the objectives and purpose of what they are learning.
• have every opportunity to be critical and reflective learners and to receive feedback that encourages further learning and enquiry.
• are encouraged to respect the beliefs and opinions of others, as well as their own.
• know that their individual abilities are recognised and valued, and that opportunities are provided for them to practise a range of learning styles.
