We are privileged to be a thriving school at the heart of the community of Great Glen. We take great pride in the learning experiences we offer, the values we strive to foster and recognising and celebrating success in everyone. Choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will ever have to make.
At St Cuthberts, we believe passionately in the importance of your child's education. All staff strive to captivate and engage pupils by delivering exciting and purposeful learning opportunities, resulting in high academic standards. The school grounds have been developed to support learning, providing an attractive and safe environment for all children to enjoy.
We believe that our curriculum should be broad, balanced and relevant and meet the needs of all children whatever their ability or needs. It includes not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, but also the range of extra-curricular activities that the school organises in order to enrich the experience of the children.
We offer after school activities everyday ranging from Cooking to Football and many more!
