CARDINAL NEWMAN CATHOLIC SECONDARY SCHOOL

The major influence on our school is our Catholic faith, which guides our conduct and our aspirations for students to use their God-given talents and achieve their very best. It is our faith and commitment to upholding Catholic, Christian values which maintains the school's ethos over the years. It has also facilitated the development of strong links with our Catholic feeder primary schools, parents and parishes. We aim to ensure that all aspects of school life reflect the school's distinct Catholic nature and that each student has the opportunity to achieve their full potential - spiritually, academically and socially.

Academically, we have high expectations and are continuously seeking to improve standards for all students regardless of their ability. In 2004 we became a Specialist Science College and that status has been used to greatly increase our curriculum opportunities, stimulate intellectual challenge and raise achievement. The school participates in a wide range of teaching and learning developments to ensure that all our students become proficient learners.
