Nicholas Breakspear's Outstanding School
Image: © Des Blenkinsopp Taken: 25 Aug 2024
A school named after Nicholas Breakspear, the son of a clerk at St Albans Abbey and so far the only person from Britain ever to become Pope. And that was back in the 12th century. On election, he changed his name to Adrian, and is probably better known by that name. The banner refers to the school's ranking from OFSTED, the UK schools inspectorate.
