A warm welcome to St Cuthbert’s Catholic High School.
Here at St Cuthbert’s we are very proud of the supportive and nurturing environment we have created that inspires our students to develop and reach their full potential. As a Catholic community, the faith aspect of our school teaches Christian values of tolerance, care and respect, with our ‘Golden Rule’ “Treat others as you would like to be treated” (Matthew 7:12).
At St Cuthbert’s we are known for looking after all the young people in our care and treat every person that passes through the school as part of our ever-growing family.
Our dedicated staff forge great relationships with students, parents and the wider community alike and are always approachable and welcoming.
Throughout our 60-year history, we have always been at the heart of our community and we take that responsibility very seriously. Our community has and continues to rely on us for a wealth of resources. We support this by offering an environment that combines warmth and fun with a commitment to learning for our young people and their families.
We celebrate excellence in all of its forms. We equip our young people academically, practically, socially and morally, so they're ready for the next step in their lives, be that going to college, moving into apprenticeships or starting employment or training.
We also have various extra-curricular activities that run alongside our broad curriculum to allow our students to further develop their talents and interests.
We welcome the opportunity to guide your son or daughter through their school life and give them the best possible start on their journey to becoming a successful, capable and well-rounded adult in their community and beyond.
We are a voluntary-aided, 11-16, co-educational comprehensive Catholic high school in the St Helens Authority in the North West of England. There are over 900 students on roll of whom 45% are baptised Catholic, with 33% from other Christian denomination, and 22% from other faith or religious traditions.
We are proud to be a school at the heart of its community. We are a school with students who flourish as a result of the attentiveness to their needs and support given by all our staff. We are a school with students who are confident to take full responsibility for themselves and their actions and are quick to praise and celebrate the achievements of others. We work together as a Christian family to live the message of the Good News of Jesus Christ to love God and our neighbour.
We are St Cuthbert's. We are more than a school.
