Our Mission and Values

At St Cuthbert’s we believe that everyone is a child of God and deserves to be treated equally, fairly and with compassion.  Our Mission Statement makes it clear what we want from all of our community:

‘The Lord God requires of us that we should help others whenever we can, always make the right choices and be the best that we can be in everything that we do’. 

We aspire for all of our students to become successful and lifelong learners with the knowledge, drive and skills to achieve their ambitions in life.  We want them to be inquisitive, independent and enthusiastic learners who value education as a route to success and happiness.

We want all of our students to grow and develop into the kind of citizens who will make their parents and  communities proud of them. They will be ingrained with British Values and Catholic Values which are very similar and at St Cuthbert’s they are based upon our core values which underpin our philosophy and practice:

Catholic

We help others whenever we can and will 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

To be the best that we can be in everything that we do and make the most of our God given talents

 

 

 

“ Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others,

as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

 1 Peter 4:10

Our Trust Values

Our Trust Mission is simple, it is to make Christ known, making lives better for our communities, our children and young people.

Our Trust Mission and Values

One of Hope

Inspired by St Teresa of Calcutta, we are people of hope. We have a complete belief in the future we will build together. By offering our children, staff and schools’ opportunities to grow and flourish, we make aspiration and ambition a reality. Our people, just like St Teresa are relentless and fiercely ambitious. We will always reach for that which seems to be just out of our grasp. 

One of Courage

As modelled for us by St Teresa of Calcutta, we will have the courage to do what is right. As a community, we will not shy away from making decisions that ensure our communities thrive. We will be brave in our actions. As a truly Catholic organisation this courage will be most apparent in how we collectively support the most vulnerable. 

One of Innovation

St Teresa of Calcutta changed the world. Together, we will always be pursuing new ideas and best practice in all areas of our work. We will prepare our children and young people for the world that awaits them. A world which they will shape and change.
