"The pupils feel safe at Nicholas Breakspear and enjoy their learning." (Diocese Inspection Report 2011)

Nicholas Breakspear School is first and foremost a place of learning and personal development. All students are able to benefit from the many opportunities given during and outside lessons. An individual student is able to develop his or her gifts and talents to the full and to explore aspects of faith and spirituality so important to us as a Catholic school.

"All students were ready to contribute in lessons when given the opportunity and were enthusiastic learners." (Ofsted Report 2011)

Students with particular learning needs or difficulties are given the support and encouragement needed to be able fully to participate with confidence and dignity in the life of the school.

"The tracking of students’ progress is very effective in identifying individual students who need additional support." (Ofsted Report 2011)

"The curriculum meets the needs of students well. The curriculum in Years 7 to 9 underpins that of later years well. Option choices for Year 10 are flexible and wide-ranging. A number of vocational subjects, provided in conjunction with a local further education college, further broaden the range of courses offered." (Ofsted Report 2011)
