    Dinosaur discoveries in Pippins.

    This week, our youngest children in the nursery have been learning all about dinosaurs!

    They carefully chipped away at dinosaur eggs to see what was hidden inside, rolled and patted playdough, and made colourful dinosaur footprints with paint. Through these playful activities, they were developing their fine motor skills, creativity, and curiosity.

    At Salisbury Cathedral School Nursery, learning through play is at the heart of every day.

    In Year 1, it is all about hands-on learning!

    In maths, the children have been exploring 3D shapes by creating and naming them using a variety of materials. Building shapes was great fun... but making a pyramid out of playdough definitely tested their skills!

    Staying Active Whatever the Weather

    Yesterday, the rain unfortunately stopped our fixtures and matches, but that did not stop the children from staying active and engaged.

    Instead, they enjoyed music and movement in the school gym, taking part in a Boxercise session led by Mrs Cooke. It was a lively and energetic session, with plenty of enthusiasm and enjoyment throughout.

    The Reception children were so excited to share their wonderful independent writing!

    Using photos of their families and special memories from home, the children chose their favourite things to write about from our much loved class book.

    In Reception, we encourage children to be confident and adventurous writers. They are learning to blend sounds together as part of our Supersonics phonics programme and are supported to have a go, share their ideas and feel proud of every attempt they make.

    We are so proud of their fantastic writing and the children are incredibly proud of themselves too!

    Choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make.

    At Salisbury Cathedral School, everything we do begins with your child at our heart.

    We are a warm and welcoming prep school where children are truly known and cared for as individuals. Set within the calm of the Cathedral Close, our inspiring environment helps children grow into confident, curious and happy learners.

    Perhaps you haven’t considered independent education before or aren’t quite sure how it differs. Many families discover the breadth of opportunities we offer across learning, music, sport, art and outdoor experiences within a joyful, nurturing environment.

    If you’re starting to explore schools for your child, we’d love to meet you.

    A Special Visit from the Police.

    This week, our Nursery children were delighted to welcome a community police officer as part of our People Who Help Us topic. The children learned what to do if they ever get lost, why it is important to know their parents’ full names and address, and enjoyed the exciting opportunity to explore a real police car and the equipment officers use.

    Experiences like this help to build confidence, spark curiosity, teach essential safety skills, and support children’s understanding of the world around them through meaningful, hands-on learning.

    Weekend Boarding Highlights!

    We’ve had two wonderful weekends back in the boarding house, and it has been a joy to see how quickly our boarders have settled in and found their place.

    From exploring Bath, playing in Sydney Gardens and enjoying the pantomime, to cathedral crafts and the Epiphany pageant, swimming at Five Rivers, cheering on the staff football match and baking a birthday cake.

    Weekends are already filled with shared laughter, growing friendships and a caring boarding community.

    St Osmund’s Fireworks!

    Last Friday, it was a joy to bring our school community together to celebrate St Osmund, the founder of Salisbury Cathedral School.

    Families gathered for an evening filled with light, warmth and shared moments, made possible by the generosity of The Friends of Salisbury Cathedral School and the wonderful support of our volunteers. We are very grateful to everyone who helped make the evening such a memorable occasion.

    Celebrations like this are a special part of school life and a reminder of the strong sense of community at Salisbury Cathedral School.
