Newsletter Issue 27 St Cuthbert’s Catholic High School Educating boys since 1881 Issue 27 NEWSLETTER NEWSLETTER FAITH : LEADERSHIP : LEARNING WORLD CLASS SCHOOL St Cuthbert’s Catholic High School has been awarded the coveted World Class Schools Quality Mark The school is incredibly proud of achieving this award; the nature of the World Class Schools organisation means the students are world class, not the staff, which makes it such a wonderful achievement. The fact that our students are World Class is the most pleasing accolade for every member of the school community as a whole as they are formed through their years with us. World Class is an award open to Ofsted Outstanding Schools, who initially have to meet a set of rigorous criteria with regards to their student outcomes. Following this the students complete a 20 page self-audit of the school and submit a video of “A week in the life” from the student perspective. The final challenge was to complete, with two other schools from across the country, a group project designing a learning environment of the future, including research, promotion, budgeting, modelling and finally presenting to a hall full of peers and industry experts. A wide range of students were involved in the project throughout the student body and three Year 12 students represented the school in Reading, London; James Conn, Jack Kennedy and Matthew Lockey. WORLD CLASS SCHOOL FAITH Remembrance at St Cuthbert’s Students from 7ASH worked with the Art Department to create a giant poppy to be used as the focal point of their form class liturgy; the students then wrote the names of their deceased loved ones onto card and placed them on the poppy. O u r a n n u a l Remembrance Day Mass was celebrated by Fr Bill Agley who praised the reverence of the students and the talents of the choir and musicians who l e d a m o v i n g rendition of ‘Abide with me’. The Mass was led by our students who are servicemen/cadets; they looked impeccable in their uniforms and represented themselves superbly.

St Cuthbert’s Leadership Week Biggest in the City St Cuthbert’s has again provided the biggest and best summer school experience in Newcastle.

Learning.’ In the course of the week students cooked pasta on camping stoves, designed a charity and produced hessian bags, performed CPR, programmed robots, studied mandarin and Tai Chi, competed in a traditional sports day, played a range of sports and developed leadership skills. A special mention must go to the six students from Sixth Form who, as sports leaders, planned and delivered their own sessions throughout the week- they truly were role models to the younger students.
