As the Executive Headteacher of St Cuthberts RC High School, I warmly welcome you to St Cuthbert’s website which I hope you will find useful, filled with important information. It is a true honour and privilege to serve our young people and I take great pride in the strength, compassion and unity of our school community.

We are a Catholic family that is diverse and unique, supporting one another through prayer, service to all, and a shared commitment to living out our faith each day.

Our motto is at the heart of our community and ignited in our words, actions and relationships:

“The best that we can be”.

This simple yet powerful message guides us as we nurture our young people to grow in faith, wisdom and compassion, encouraging them to use their God-given talents to make a positive difference in the world.

Our school is built upon CARE values, which shape who we are and how we grow together as a community:

  • Catholic – We help others whenever we can and strive to be outstanding ambassadors for our faith, our school and our community.
  • Aspiration – We continually seek to improve ourselves and improve the world in which we live.
  • Respect – We always make the right choices and treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves.
  • Excellence – We aim to be the best that we can be in everything that we do, making the most of our God-given talents.

Our prime focus is a commitment to every child, every chance, every day. Every student deserves the opportunity to succeed academically, spiritually, and personally so that they may leave St Cuthbert’s with confidence, compassion and a desire to make the world a better place. Our curriculum extends beyond individual subjects, offering a variety of enrichment and personal development experiences that help every student grow and flourish.

We are dedicated to helping every student make the best possible progress, through targeted support and high expectations, we aim to enable them to reach their potential and open doors to the next stage of their journey, preparing them for the courses and pathways that they wish to pursue.
