How do our boys do & where do they go?
We are confident that our results speak for themselves.
The school is justly proud of its reputation for academic success, but a St Cuthbert’s education is much more than a comprehensive education. It provides more than academic results alone. We encourage boys to investigate themes, explore ideas and see connections beyond the examined syllabus. This ensures that they leave St Cuthbert’s with the ability to understand and tackle the complexities and challenges which further education (not to mention life) will bring.

Our rich, extensive Catholic curriculum is designed to prepare our boys to be better men. Our unique, bespoke non-examined curriculum enables our boys to enter competitions such as the International Mathematics and Science Olympiads, in which we have an enviable history of success. Whilst opportunities within our co-curricular offer serve to enrich and enable our boys not only to succeed but also to exceed. The statistics above are based on a five year average.
St Cuthbert's Catholic High School Performance (DfE)
The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011; it was allocated to children from low-income families who were known to be eligible for Free School Meals and children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months, and other target groups.
St Cuthbert’s Catholic High School received a total of £372,750 in the academic year 2024-2025, to support the education of these boys.
Nationally children from low-income families often do not progress in their education as quickly as other groups. The funding is spent on several initiatives to ensure that these pupils can make the same excellent progress as the rest of their peers.
It is up to schools to decide how they spend the pupil premium. However, we are responsible for how this funding is used to support the educational progress of the target groups. Owing to the importance of this area you will notice that the school spends more on this allocation than the specific targeted funding.
