This place needs to be metaphorically fumigated
I worked supply there for a while. as a teacher, I can fully say that you should NOT let your child attend this school at all. VERY few teachers actually care about the students. the rest of them are either too passive or too jaded to care or are there simply to collect an easy paycheck. the presentations were all but incomplete, no direction and no effort made to correct except when I was asked to do so. regarding the students...they have run of the school. they push teachers to the point of...

Absolute shambles
There is hardly any communication when you try to contact school you can be waiting up to a week for a reply. The attendance team are useless and the head teacher has never been available in the year and a half my daughter has been attending. The worst mistake I made sending my daughter here. Also pornagraphic material was sent to my daughter through the school email system. I informed the police. The school just removed my daughter from ICT classes for 3 weeks. She was the victim and they pun...

Just my opinion on the school
The school might look like a good school but the students are either rude or something similar if your another religion other than Christianity or Atheist, and the teachers there are no help especially when you want help the most, I've been to dcs before so I would know, be happy I actually gave a star, pussio.

Do not send your children
Cathedral school is ran like a young offenders institute rather than a school with law abiding children. Extreme lack of care to students especially with extra educational needs Teachers bully students daily Do not send your child here

My experience
I'm in year 7 and my experience is not good but not bad I get hurt alot and I'm getting bullied and I'm not well liked this school does not have well behaved people but no one is behaved but I hope for the schools sake that this changes because the bullying policy is not great

WHY I DON'T RECOMMEND DCS
I am a yr8 student who goes to this and my experience is HORRIBLE, we have fights more than 2 times a week so they are very common, racist incidents have led to students getting PHYSICALLY HURT, a student actually hurt a teacher too last week but he's fine now.The discipline is the WORST, I swear too many students are sooooooo disrespectful and are mean to each other.To be honest I don't feel safe so I'm hoping to move schools eventually.The education system isn't too bad I guess.And in NAV (that's where bad students are sent for a bit) you are mixed with other bad students and you get to PLAY ON A COMPUTER once you finished your work but I'm not too sure since this is just a shared experience from a friend who went there but I think this is why misbehaved students never learn. So, if your considering on sending your child to this school I recommend to look for another PLUS the gates are open for the school so I guess it's kind of easy for anyone to get in.

Time will tell
With the New school only just opening at the Great Northern Road site, it’s not at full student capacity yet. The students at the moment range from Year 7 intake in September 2021 to Year 10 and won’t be at full capacity for another 3-4 year’s
