Year 8
"I like going to Cardinal Pole because the teachers are really nice, and it is a great learning environment. I really like it as they have a lot of clubs and my favourite is the sports club because it is really fun. Cardinal Pole has made me achieve things I couldn't before."

Year 10
"I would say Cardinal Pole is a fair and equal school because of how people are treated and the activities we do to celebrate other people's culture. At Cardinal Pole, you meet multiple people and engage with them."

Former Year 13
“The job market these days is so saturated and our future careers can be a worry for students my age as it can feel like it’ll be impossible to progress and stand out. But at Cardinal Pole our Sixth Form Team and careers advisor gives us endless opportunities to apply our strengths and interests through taster sessions and work experience with a range of companies. We also get lots of support and advice when it comes to applying for universities or apprenticeships. It’s essential to have lots of options available to you and Cardinal Pole has easily given me that reassurance!”
