Welcome to St. Cuthbert and The First Martyrs' Catholic Primary School. It is a real privilege to lead such a wonderful community where children are at the heart of everything we do. Our vision is clear, Excellence in all we do, outstanding every day . We want every child to achieve their very best, not only in their learning but in the way they grow as people.
Our mission, Through the sign of the cross we follow Jesus , reminds us that we are a Catholic family rooted in faith, and that Christ is our guide in how we live and learn together. Life at St. Cuthbert and The First Martyrs' is shaped by the Virtues to Live by, which encourage our children to be loving, courageous, attentive, wise and just.
These values underpin our daily life in school and help us to create a caring and respectful environment where everyone feels safe, valued and able to thrive.
