expectations are high and we continue to ‘raise the bar’. Our small sixth form
ensures that all of our pupils’ individual needs are catered for which in turn
ensures we are well placed to help each individual to make their expected
progress. Supported by a strong careers programme, our pupils continue to be
successful in their transition from school to employment, apprenticeships and
further education and training. Pupils receive individual guidance on their next
steps and we are proud to say that our school leaver statistics are above the

wider community. Everyone is encouraged to be the best person that they can be

respect is at the heart of our school community and Gospel values of peace,
justice and reconciliation are of paramount importance. At St John Henry Newman
Catholic School we pride ourselves on the level of pastoral care our pupils are
offered. Each pupil is known to us and we are able to identify and react quickly
when problems arise to help our pupils in every way possible to achieve their
full potential. We are renowned for going the extra mile and offering first
class levels of support. Each Year group has a dedicated Head of Year who works
with pupils from their first day in Year 7 until they finish Year 11. A Pupil
Support Officer is also available throughout the day providing advice and
guidance. It is a difficult decision to select a secondary school for your
child. One of the most important things you should do is visit the school during
the school day. This will allow you to get a feel for the school and to see our
pupils at work. We would be delighted to arrange a visit for you at a time
convenient time to yourself. Please contact our school office to arrange a
visit. We have excellent facilities set in pleasant surroundings. Pupils will
experience practical subjects using up to date technology in purpose-built
environments. ICT facilities are constantly being updated and pupils have the
opportunity to access resources both in and outside school using our virtual
learning environment.
