Cardinal Newman Catholic High School (Luton)
Cardinal Newman Catholic High School, also referred to as Newman or CNS is a Roman Catholic Voluntary aided secondary school and sixth form catering for pupils aged between 11 and 18, located in the Warden Hills area of Luton, England. 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.

Famous quotes containing the words cardinal, newman, catholic, high and/or school:
“To this war of every man against every man, this also is consequent; that nothing can be Unjust. The notions of Right and Wrong, Justice and Injustice have there no place. Where there is no common Power, there is no Law; where no Law, no Injustice. Force, and Fraud, are in war the two Cardinal virtues.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“It is as absurd to argue men, as to torture them, into believing.”
—Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801–1890)
“I maintain that I have been a Negro three times—a Negro baby, a Negro girl and a Negro woman. Still, if you have received no clear cut impression of what the Negro in America is like, then you are in the same place with me. There is no The Negro here. Our lives are so diversified, internal attitudes so varied, appearances and capabilities so different, that there is no possible classification so catholic that it will cover us all, except My people! My people!”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“I remember once dreaming of pushing a canoe up the rivers of Maine, and that, when I had got so high that the channels were dry, I kept on through the ravines and gorges, nearly as well as before, by pushing a little harder, and now it seemed to me that my dream was partially realized.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
