History

St Cuthbert's was founded as Bishop Henshaw School in 1968 and was Rochdale's first Catholic secondary school. [2] It became a middle school when Rochdale adopted the three-tier system. It was extended into a secondary school and renamed St Cuthbert's High School during the late 1980s following the Diocese of Salford's decision to scrap the three-tier system. [3] The school moved into new buildings in January 2014. [4]

Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council, [5] in November 2023 St Cuthbert's RC High School converted to academy status. [6] The school is now sponsored by the St Teresa Of Calcutta Catholic Academy Trust, [7] but continues to be under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford.

Feeder schools

The school mainly accepts pupils from Alice Ingham RC Primary School, Holy Family RC Primary School, Sacred Heart RC Primary School, St Gabriel's RC Primary School, St John's RC Primary School, St Mary's RC Primary School, St Patrick's RC Primary School and St Vincent's RC Primary School. [8]

Academics

St Cuthbert's RC High School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils.

Specialism choices had previously been picked in year 9 and examined in year 10 to ease pressure on students in year 11, however due to COVID-19 changes have been made.

As of 2021, students select a specialism choice in year 10 and are examined in year 11. The choices include, psychology, physical education, health and social care, performing arts (music, drama, and art), ICT, design and technology, sociology and extra core.

As of 2022, The Changes were reverted to Year 9.
