Information Afternoon for Year 7 Entry
The Cathedral School Senior School
Academic Study and Results
Our pupils achieve highly here, and it is a privilege to see their journeys through school.
Our examination results are consistently outstanding, inspired by excellent teaching and a creative curriculum. This year alone five of our students, all who joined the Cathedral School in their infant years, have just secured places at Oxbridge universities.
What to expect at the Information Afternoon
Meet the Head and Senior School staff and hear from current pupils about their transition to Year 7.
Learn about academic, sporting and musical opportunities and discover how we support pupils throughout the move from primary to secondary education.
Supporting a Successful Transition
Starting Senior School can feel like a big step. Our experienced pastoral team works closely with pupils and families to ensure a smooth and positive transition into Year 7.
Through induction activities, form tutor support, friendships, co-curricular opportunities and regular communication with families, we help every child quickly feel confident, happy and part of our community.
What our pupils say...

Scholarships & Bursaries
The Cathedral School offers a range of scholarships including Academic, Music and Sport for pupils joining Year 7.
