General information
Background: Opened in 1898; building has since undergone many changes; Victorian interior replaced by four large classrooms, main hall, library and dining area; double-glazed windows, closed-circuit television and intercom-controlled entry; carpets throughout; interactive whiteboards and broadband internet access. Sporting tradition; particularly successful in district football, cross-country, athletics, netball and swimming competitions; also basketball and badminton. Pupil council, which designed award-winning garden. Children take part in Operation Christmas Child (the shoebox appeal) and support St Cuthbert's Care, NSPCC and the Poppy Appeal. Health School Award; Basic Skills Quality Mark (2003); DfES achievement award (2003). Ethos: 'When you enter the school, you will notice the tidiness and sense of organisation. In the classrooms, you will see lots of happy children who enjoy learning. The displays on the class and corridor walls, and the snese of purpose emanating from staff and pupils, will provide the visitor with all the clues needed to deduce that this school is proud of its high standards and Christian values.' .
