We are currently consulting on a refreshed and renewed vision, aims and values statement for Cathays High School. This is so it reflects the major changes in society over the last 18 months, the opportunities of the new curriculum and the exciting prospect of our new school site.
We have already consulted with and reflected the views of pupils, staff and governors in this version of the draft. We are also very keen to get the views of families on our draft vision, aims and values statement.
The current draft is below, please have a read and click the link to the short survey to share your views. You can complete this anonymously or include your name and contact details as we may identify a focus group for discussions.
