Opportunities at St Cuthbert’s
At St Cuthbert’s we pride ourselves on our excellent intra and extracurricular STEM provision. We work closely with Newcastle University, The Reece Foundation and international engineering firms such as Cundall and Sir Robert McAlpine to produce the city wide Reece Scholarship, which enables the most able Year 12 students to have a taster of engineering as a career with both academic and real life experience. This prestigious scholarship is replicated with our Key Stage Three students; a stringent application process enables us to work with the most promising STEM graduates of the future. A greater proportion of students than ever before have left us to take up engineering or related STEM undergraduate degrees, of which there is a national shortage.
In the last two years St Cuthbert’s have become a SWIRE centre for the teaching on Mandarin on the curriculum. In 2020/21 Year 7, 8 and 9 will study the subject in the most able classes, which will lead to this highly academic subject being a GCSE option in 2021 for the first time. We partner Newcastle High School for Girls on this project, funded by the SWIRE Chinese Language Foundation. Sixth form students are able to study the subject up to HSK examinations, and staff have been offered Mandarin classes after school. In 2019 students enjoyed a trip to China as part of the program.
In addition to the outstanding day-to-day practice and the student outcomes here, our cutting edge STEM and Mandarin provision helped us acquire Word Class Schools Quality Mark in December 2019. This award was earnt by the students through their showcasing of what makes us unique, in both written and visual form and subsequently working in a team with other students across the country on a high-level project culminating in an assessment day in Reading.
