History at St Cuthbert's High School

An unbelievable opportunity for our boys to visit The Queen’s College, University of Oxford. Truly an inspiring experience to walk the halls of such a historic institution and see what is possible for their futures. Thank you for having us. @StCuthbertsHigh @UniofOxford

An extremely successful Year 10 revision masterclass today! Students practiced effective revision techniques, built confidence, and showed excellent focus. A fantastic step towards exam success. @StCuthbertsHigh @StCuthbertsHis #stcuthbertscommitment @StCuthbertsYr10

It was a maths takeover in the History Department today for Pi Day! History and π collided in the best way. @StCuthbertsMath @StCuthbertsHis @StCuthbertsHigh #StCuthbertsPoweredByPi #PiDay2025

Today in the History Department, we celebrated Pi Day, where history and maths collided! From Ancient Egypt to Archimedes, we explored how π fascinates mathematicians and historians alike. @StCuthbertsMath @StCuthbertsHis @StCuthbertsHigh #StCuthbertsPoweredByPi"

Day 2 of the We Are Memory in Action: Holocaust and Genocide assemblies. The boys presented their Legacy Project to a brilliant Year 8 cohort today. @StCuthbertsHigh @StCuthbertsHis @StCuthbertsYr9 @StCuthbertsYr8

Proud moment watching our pupils deliver their assembly as part of their Legacy Project for the We Are Memory in Action Holocaust and Genocide programme. They delivered it with such confidence, maturity and clarity. @StCuthbertsHigh @StCuthbertsHis @SmajoBeso

Excellent homework from our Year 9 Historians on the evacuation of Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain. Students have been investigating how propaganda was used during these key events. @StCuthbertsHigh @StCuthbertsHis @StCuthbertsYr9 #stcuthbertscommitment

Full steam ahead with Year 13 History revision. Great to see so much resilience and determination from our historians as they keep pushing through revision and building confidence for the exams ahead. @StCuthbertsHigh @StCuthbertsHis @StCuthberts6th

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. @WorldBookDayUK @StCuthbertsEng @StCuthbertsHis

During Careers Week, our pupils explored how studying History opens doors to many future careers. Great to see them making connections between classroom learning and possible career pathways. @StCuthberts6th @StCuthbertsHigh @StCuthbertsHis #stcuthbertscommitment

Shoutout to our Year 11 historians putting in the work! Dedicating their History Period 6 to crime and punishment revision. Every minute counts towards success! Practice makes permanent. @StCuthbertsHigh @StCuthbertsHis #stcuthbertscommitment @StCuthbertsYr11

Maths making history… literally @StCuthbertsHis 📚🔢 #NumberDay #StCuthbertsFormingGreatMen

The History department is getting involved in #NumberDay 📚🔢 From dates to timelines and Roman numerals, maths has always been part of history. @StCuthbertsHigh @StCuthbertsHis @StCuthbertsMath #stcuthbertscommitment #stcuthbertscompetance

Our boys visited the Civic Centre today as part of the We Are Memory in Action Holocaust and Genocide programme. They have been developing their legacy projects and exploring ways to bring these ideas into life at St Cuthbert’s. @StCuthbertsHigh @StCuthbertsHis

An absolute honour for our boys to be invited to speak at the We Are Memory in Action Holocaust and Genocide event at the Civic Centre today. Powerful words, important voices, and a moment of real pride for our school. @StCuthbertsHigh @StCuthbertsHis #stcuthbertscompetance

We are incredibly proud of these three outstanding pupils who represented St Cuthbert’s at the We Are Memory in Action Holocaust and Genocide event at the Civic Centre. An honour to see them also interviewed by ITV. @SmajoBeso @StCuthbertsHigh @StCuthbertsHis
