Hereford Cathedral School - Co-Educational Independent School

The world is changing at a faster rate than at any time in human history.

In order to thrive and be real-world ready, young people need:

Personal skills including emotional intelligence, self-awareness and resilience

A practical understanding of technology and its applications

Knowledge of the evolving systems that govern how the world works

It’s never too young to start developing these skills and attributes.
