The curriculum at Cathedral Primary School is designed to be innovative and creative, leveraging the rich resources of the surrounding area to enhance learning experiences.

The school also emphasizes the importance of extracurricular activities, including sports and performing arts, to support holistic development.

For the 2025-2026 academic year, the school will temporarily operate as a split-site institution due to ongoing repairs to its historic building.
