Headteacher's Welcome

Headteacher's Welcome

Welcome to the Saint John Henry Newman Catholic School. We are a Catholic comprehensive school for students aged between 11-18, with high ambitions and expectations for all. We aim to create experiences for students to develop their passions and interests to enable them to fulfil their God given potential.

We are a unique community.  We are proud of our students and work with them in a meaningful way to make their educational experience the best it can be. We are committed to providing them with the experiences that enable them to make the best use of their unique gifts and talents and strive together to make a happy community, with students who enjoy their education.

We combine high expectations with effective working relationships between students and staff. This is underpinned by the caring and nurturing approach of our teachers, which provides a strong foundation for academic excellence and personal development, ensuring our students can thrive with happiness and confidence.

The Saint John Henry Newman Catholic School is at the heart of the community. We work hard to ensure that strong links are maintained with our local primary schools and parishes, so our students can fully understand their role within society. Central to the success of the school is the strong relationship that we have with our parents, as we work together to develop happy and successful students who can flourish in all aspects of school life.

We are inspired by the teachings of Saint John Henry Newman who reminds us that we are all created to do God’s work through our strong bond of connections, as we aim to fulfil our school mission to transform the world.
