Catholic Schools Inspection

Saint Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School had our last RE inspection in October 2024, when we were judged to be a good school.

Comments in the Inspection Report included:

• The Catholic mission of this school is known and lived out by all. One pupil described ‘Love one another as I have loved you’ as their job is to ’See, think and do‘ when someone is in need.
• Leaders, including governors, are good models of Catholic values, which is evident in their policies. They prioritise the teachings of Jesus, as seen in the development of Catholic social teaching across the school community.
• Pupils understand the content of religious education lessons and articulate their learning well.
• Prayer is central to school life for staff and pupils and is part of the structure of the school day. Staff value moments of prayer and give the pupils many opportunities to pray throughout the
  day.
