As Headteacher of St Cuthbert’s, it is a privilege to welcome you to our school – a thriving, inclusive and faith-filled Catholic community where every child is known, loved and encouraged to flourish.

At St Cuthbert’s, our mission is simple yet powerful: to help children be the best that we can be. Everything we do – from the way we teach to the way we care for one another – is rooted in that purpose. We want every student to leave us not only with strong qualifications, but with strength of character, a deep sense of faith and service, and a desire to make the world a better place.

Our school is built on the foundation of our CARE values:

  • 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.

These values guide our decisions, shape our relationships and inspire us to grow together as a compassionate and ambitious school family. We believe every child is a unique creation of God, full of potential and worthy of the highest expectations and care. Our pastoral support is strong and personal – ensuring that all students feel safe, supported and ready to succeed.

We are proud of our students, who bring energy, kindness and determination to all areas of school life. We are equally proud of our dedicated staff, who work tirelessly to provide a broad and enriching education within a safe and respectful environment. Together, we aim not only to teach, but to shape young people who are confident, reflective and ready to lead lives of purpose and service.

If you are already part of the St Cuthbert’s family, thank you for all you bring to our community. If you are considering joining us, we warmly invite you to explore our website and discover what makes our school such a special place. We welcome visitors at any time during the school year – please do get in touch to arrange a visit. We would love to show you our school in action.
