Opened in September 1969, the current Headteacher is Mrs Jane Crow, with the deputy heads being Mrs Fleur Musonda, and Ms Lorraine Croft. There are currently over 1400 students on role. The school is named after the famous cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, Blessed John Henry Newman.
Being the only Roman Catholic secondary school in the whole of Luton, the school is constantly oversubscribed with over 400 applicants yearly, yet with only 242 places to offer. Cardinal Newman is also currently the only secondary school in Luton to have its own sixth form, and this has over 150 places to offer students from both inside and outside the school. The current Head of Sixth Form is Mrs Michelle Chappel and from September 2009 will be Mrs Gail Hickman. Mrs Chappell is moving on to a more senior position within the school while Mrs Hickman is coming across to the Sixth Form after spending many years in the CNS Geography department.

“In nothing was slavery so savage and relentless as in its attempted destruction of the family instincts of the Negro race in America. Individuals, not families; shelters, not homes; herding, not marriages, were the cardinal sins in that system of horrors.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
“I love the male body, it’s better designed than the male mind.”
—Andrea Newman (b. 1938)
“The Catholic and the Communist are alike in assuming that an opponent cannot be both honest and intelligent.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“We do not prove the existence of the poem.
It is something seen and known in lesser poems.
It is the huge, high harmony that sounds
A little and a little, suddenly,
By means of a separate sense. It is and it
Is not and, therefore, is.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“And so they have left us feeling tired and old.
They never cared for school anyway.
And they have left us with the things pinned on the bulletin board.
And the night, the endless, muggy night that is invading our school.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
