Our Yr 7-9 forms went head-to-head in a competitive SparxReader challenge. Emerging victorious, 7H1 celebrated their massive achievement in style, spending a well-deserved morning enjoying donuts and games in the library! #StCuthbertsCompetence@StCuthbertsEng 📚🍩👑
🏆 ♟️NE Regional Champions ♟️ 🏆
Following an incredibly tense match, St Cuthbert’s defeated JPA to claim the title of NE Regional Champions. The team will now go on to represent the NE at the Schools National Chess Championship Finals held at Nottingham Uni. #StCuthbertsCC
We capped off the week of Reading festivities with a visit from @DanSmithAuthor! Dan spoke with Years 7 & 8 about his inspirations for writing; the films of the 80’s, his childhood spent living abroad and experiences in boarding school. The boys were captivated!
Groups of @StCuthbertsYr10 had the chance to take part in small writing workshops with author Bali Rai. They practiced techniques for GCSE creative writing. Sharing their work and receiving edits to learn how best to hook their audience. #StCuthbertsFormingGreatMen
Pupils enjoyed taking part in our History Book Bistro as part of World Book Day. They explored a range of historical texts, shared recommendations and discussed how books can bring the past to life — all while enjoying a biscuit.

For our Book Bistro we created a forest setting – a perfect backdrop for our Myths & Legends theme. Riddles, books & snacks as we explored tales of gods, heroes and creatures. A legendary way to mark @WorldBookDayUK! 🌿📚Thanks to Miss Mann & Miss Ahmad for their creative genius!
Year 8 have been exploring their interests with the genre card game in library lessons. Answering questions to discover what genres and books suit them best. Sparking great discussions and exploring new titles. @StCuthbertsEng#StCuthbertsREADS#StCuthbertsCompetence
