Headteachers Welcome

Welcome to Nicholas Breakspear Catholic School

We are inspired by our patron, born locally, who rose from his humble personal context to serve as Pope Adrian IV. May he inspire us all to strive for greatness, regardless of our background or personal challenges.

Our Catholic values are the foundation of our school mission, recognising through celebrating our unique gifts, that we can apply these collectively to build a better world. This speaks of a school community focused in unity balanced with personal development. Through focusing on the moral, spiritual, emotional and social formation of each student, we ensure that their educational experience is surrounded by the opportunities to continuous growth. 

This extends beyond the culture of academic excellence that we have fostered, whereby the rigorous standards of our highly trained staff ensure the continuous improvement and fulfilling their God-given potential. We have an evolving ambitious curriculum suitable for the challenges and demands of the future employment market. 

Our inclusive and welcoming community is shaped to ensure that each child is known, cherished and nurtured as part of our NBS family. Close partnerships with families and parish are integral to our success. We recognise that families are the primary educators of our students. Our mission is best exemplified through enabling faith in action. Students grow in a culture of service, social justice and character formation, from which passionate global citizens and ambassadors of our community emerge. 

If you would like to visit our vibrant and welcoming school, please do contact us. We are so proud to share our NBS community.

Mr Andrew Dunne, Headteacher
