Welcome from the Headteacher

I am delighted to welcome you to St John Henry Newman Catholic School, where faith, learning and community come together. Rooted in the teachings of Christ and the values of the Gospel, we are committed to nurturing each young person so that they may flourish academically, spiritually, and personally.

As a former pupil of this school, it is both a privilege and a source of great pride for me to now serve as Headteacher. This school helped to shape the person I am today, and I am deeply committed to ensuring that every student who joins us is given the same opportunities to grow, achieve, and discover their God-given potential.

At St John Henry Newman Catholic School, we believe every student is uniquely gifted by God. Our mission is to provide a high-quality education that challenges and inspires, while also developing compassion, resilience, and a sense of service to others. We aim not only to prepare our students for future study and careers, but also to help them grow as confident, caring individuals who will make a positive difference in the world.

Visitors to our school often comment on the warm welcome they receive, the strong sense of belonging, and the dedication of our staff. These qualities, combined with our commitment to excellence, create a vibrant learning community where every child is supported to achieve their full potential.

I hope this website gives you a sense of our values, achievements and aspirations. I warmly invite you to visit us in person to experience the spirit of St John Henry Newman Catholic School for yourself.
