Nicholas Breakspear Catholic School (NBS) is a secondary school with academy status situated on the rural fringe of St Albans, an old Roman city in Hertfordshire, England.
The school takes its name from the 12th-century priest St Albans-born and educated Nicholas Breakspear, who, as Pope Adrian IV, is the only Englishman ever to have occupied the papal chair.
[1] On 13 January 2016, Prince William ate lunch with Breakspear students at John Henry Newman School as he waited for paramedics.
The East Anglian Air Ambulance, of which the Duke of Cambridge is part of, frequently uses the Newman School fields.
[6] Breakspear has six houses, each named after a saint whose life is intended to serve as an example to the community.
