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.
What an exciting way for Class 1 to start the new term — with a mystery and a very special visitor! When the children arrived at school, they were amazed to discover some very large and unusual footprints on the classroom floor. Next to the footprints was a box containing a special message, which we read together. The excitement only grew when we opened the box to find a brand‑new storybook… and six dinosaur eggs!
We were delighted to welcome Mrs Whitfield to St Cuthbert’s Catholic Primary School in Crook. Visiting as a representative of CAFOD, she spoke to our pupils about how each of us can help grow God’s love in our world through kindness, compassion, and practical action.
What a fantastic day our children had on their visit to Hardwick Park! Class groups enjoyed a fun and engaging springtime workshop, where they explored nature, learned about seasonal changes, and discovered the beauty of the outdoors. After the workshop, the children spent time exploring the grounds, taking in the fresh air, the wildlife, and the many natural treasures the park has to offer. They even gathered some special treasures to bring back to school, ready to inspire future learning.
