St Cuthbert’s Cross
St Cuthbert’s Catholic Primary school is a one form entry primary school situated in Grindon, Sunderland, one of 30 schools in the Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust. Our school can accommodate 210 children (Rec- Y6) who are taught in single classes + a 26 place full time equivalent Nursery provision.
We are situated centrally in the parish community of St. Jeanne Jugan, serving the church cluster of Immaculate Heart of Mary (Springwell), and Holy Rosary (Farringdon).
The Governors and staff aim to create a caring Christian community where children can flourish in a stimulating environment. Developing children’s faith is a central part of the school’s mission. Children are given opportunities to pray, reflect and worship throughout the school day. We have high expectations of all our pupils and we are committed to developing every child to the best of their ability.
The school benefits from a superb educational environment, benefitting from a 2-form entry build with facilities which include extensive grounds, including 2 hard yard surfaces and a substantial school field and wooded area, a fully equipped ICT suite, an Art Room, a Reading Room, a Nurture/Sensory Room, a School Library, a large dinner hall and separate multi purpose hall.
Strong links are maintained with the local parish and local community. Our parish priest, Father Michael Humble, is a frequent visitor to school and has established the whole school regularly joining the parish community to celebrate mass. Father Michael celebrates Mass weekly in our school hall which helps us to strengthen our faith community.
