Pupils Introduction
Welcome to St John Henry Newman Catholic School. As Head pupils we have many responsibilities within our school community. These include acting as a mentor for younger pupils and involvement in the literacy support scheme. We also represent our pupils at parents’ evenings, open evenings and in undertaking guided tours for families who are interested in joining our school.
We are part of an active Sixth Form Council, the pupil body that has responsibility for the running of the school’s sixth form, which organises social events, fundraising and links with the wider Carlisle community. We hope that you will enjoy finding out more about our school.
Head Pupil - Cara
I am currently studying Health and Social Care, Product Design and Maths in Year 13. After this school year, I am hoping to go to university to study primary education and to specialise in SEND (special educational needs and disabilities). I chose to study Maths at A Level as maths is one of the main subjects taught as part of the National Curriculum in primary schools. I also chose to study Product Design as I wanted to take a subject that would allow me to be creative and would help with my problem solving skills, which I will need to use if I want to work in teaching. Finally, I chose to take Health and Social Care as I knew I wanted to work in an area with other people. I am looking forward to university life and before I leave Newman I want to help other pupils realise their dreams.
Head Pupil - Jessica
I am currently studying Psychology, Health and Social Care, and English Literature and Language. When I leave school, I would love to attend university to study psychology as I believe mental health is incredibly important. It is my dream to be a pyschiatrist and to help others. I want to spend the rest of my time at Newman helping pupils and promoting good mental health. In my spare time enjoy watching movies and spending time with dogs.
