2020: 75th Anniversary
St Cuthbert’s School celebrated it's 75-year anniversary in August 2020. We had been planning a year of outward-looking celebrations, giving thanks to our school community. Due to Covid we were unable to put on all the planned events. However, we were still able to reflect and be thankful.
This is particularly apt given that the school was founded in the Social Hall on Harvest Road as a result of two East End Catholic schools being evacuated to Englefield Green during World War II.
Low-key celebrations for VE Day have taken place and television and media coverage included stories on the horrors of war and of evacuees. 38 of the 71 children on the first St Cuthbert's register were former evacuees from London; their parents moved to Englefield Green when the war ended.
