At St Cuthbert’s Primary School in Crook, your child thrives in a caring, inclusive community from their first days in our nursery and throughout primary education. We nurture the whole child – academically, socially and emotionally – building confidence, curiosity and ambition so every pupil feels valued, inspired and supported to achieve their full potential.
We were delighted to welcome some very special visitors to St Cuthbert’s Catholic Primary School in Crook this week, as our Early Years and Key Stage 1 pupils enjoyed an exciting and educational visit from our local PCSO and her four‑legged partner, Ben the police dog. The children were fascinated as they learned about the important role the police play in keeping our community safe. Our PCSO spoke to the pupils about personal safety, helping them understand how to stay safe at home, at school and when out and about.
