We Educate each other, Create Community, Witness the Gospel Values and put Christ at the centre of all we do

Here is just a snippet of some of the amazing things that go on at St. Cuthbert’s each and every day. We provide our children with a wide, rich set of experiences that develop their talents and interests. Our children are confident and resilient and enjoy each and every learning opportunity both inside and outside of school, giving them an excellent foundation to become lifelong learners who embrace and thrive on new and exciting challenges. We are so proud of each and every one of them. Take a look and we think you’ll agree.

Other Faiths Fortnight: Hinduism

As part of our ‘Other Faiths Fortnight’ We welcomed members of Sunderland’s Hindu Faith Community into school who taught us about some of their key beliefs. We learned about the ideas of living well, non-violence and karma- where what you send out comes back to you- so if you believe you do good things you will receive good things in return. We also learnt how Hindu’s believe that you need a healthy body, spirit and mind. A big thank you to our visitors for giving their time to teach us about their faith

Other Faiths Fortnight: Sikhism

Members of the Sikh community also came to visit school and then we went to visit the Gurdwara in Newcastle. We learned that Sikhs show devotion and reverence of God at all times and practice the ideals of honesty, compassion, humility and generosity. We learned so much about the Sikh faith and were blown away by the beauty of the Gurdwara. We visited a classroom where we learned all about The Golden Temple- the first Sikh Temple built in India in 1550. We also visited The Darbar Sahib- the main place of worship within the Gurdwara. We were lucky enough to hear a verse sang from the Guru Granth Sahib while watching the Chauri being waved. We were also able to try playing the traditional Sikh instruments used for meditation. We learned so much and we feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to learn about the Sikh faith first hand!
