At St Cuthbert’s Catholic High School we aim to ensure our curriculum is designed to meet the needs of all our students and foster the joy of learning. Underpinning everything we do lies our core values of community, commitment, compassion and community. We aim to provide the best education possible and provide our students with an array of transferable knowledge which will aid them in their further learning, apprenticeships or employment, taking into account the improving local economy and labour market.
"Leaders have put together a coherent and well-ordered curriculum across all subjects. The curriculum identifies what pupils will learn when this content will be taught. Leaders have ensured that the curriculum is broad and balanced from Year 7 to Year 11. The curriculum is ambitious." Ofsted, July 2022
We follow a knowledge based ambitious curriculum, empowering students to develop an understanding and appreciation of the subjects they study. Our curriculum is about knowing more and remembering more. The curriculum is planned and sequenced so that knowledge and skills build on what has been taught before. Our curriculum is carefully designed by our subject specialist to challenge students to think deeply, recall and skilfully apply information. We ensure learning is at the heart of lessons, to enable students to make outstanding progress and give them the opportunity to live life in all its fullness.
Our approach to the curriculum ensures that we are complying with our duties in the Equality Act 2010 and the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014 - our curriculum is accessible for those with disabilities or special educational needs. Please see our Equalities and SEN Policies on our policies page.
If any parents/carers or other members of the public would like to find out more about the curriculum followed by our school, please contact Miss J Grimes, Deputy Headteacher.
