Nicholas Breakspear's Outstanding School
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.

St Albans: Alban Way & Colney Heath Lane road bridge
This is the trackbed of the former Hatfield and St Albans Railway. The railway was completed in 1865 and was taken over by the Great Northern Railway in 1883. It was a very early casualty of British Railways' days being closed to passenger traffic in 1951. Freight services lingered on until 1964. The trackbed is now used as the Alban Way and also now forms a section of National Cycle Network Route 61. The bridge carries Colney Heath Lane over the old railway trackbed.
