About Cardinal Newman Catholic School
Cardinal Newman Catholic School is a secondary school in Hove, Brighton and Hove, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 2,625 pupils aged 11 to 18 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 50.4 — above the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has fallen by 4.0 points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 28% of secondary schools nationally.
48% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, in line with the national average of about 45%. 72% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Cardinal Newman Catholic School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links further down the page.
