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.
"As they grow in wisdom, compassion, and confidence, the boys of St Cuthbert’s leave us well prepared for the next steps in their education and in life. Formed in faith and supported to achieve their full potential, they are ready to take their rightful place in the world—young men equipped not only with strong academic foundations, but with the integrity, service, and hope needed to change it for the better.”
Put into numbers - statistically, boys at St Cuthbert's outperform the boys' national average by 10%.

Pupil Premium
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 £442,900 in the academic year 2025-2026, 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.
