We are now an Olympic Involved School

At the beginning of November, we were informed that our application to join the ‘Get Set Network’ had been accepted! In order to achieve this we had to inform the network of what we were doing at Newlands to spread the Olympic message and how we were sharing with others information about the Olympic values. We told them all about our Olympic Group and how it had been set up, we told them about the Bejiing to London Challenge, and how the first leg of this had been achieved on our Olympic Bike Day and we also told them about our plans for our young ambassadors to hold Olympic Days in our family of 5 primary schools.

As a result of being accepted into the network, we are now able to access the Olympic logo to use on our website, newsletters and paperwork. This is the first time that the logo has been released for schools use and is only allowed to be used by schools that have demonstrated a real commitment to the Olympic values and spirit. In order for a company to access the Olympic logo to use on their paperwork and advertising, the minimum amount of sponsorship they would have to pay is £10 million!!

We now have to maintain our commitment to spreading the Olympic word so look out for more exciting and innovative Olympic ideas coming your way soon.

Headteacher’s Welcome

 

 

Newlands Girls’ School provides a first-class education combined with extensive opportunities for all our students to develop into confident and responsible young women equipped with the skills they will need for the twenty-first century.

Our examination results are excellent with 75% of girls gaining 5 A* to C GCSE grades including English and Mathematics. In the Sixth Form, of the 99% A-E grades achieved at A2 level, 56% were at A or B.

Our girls enjoy fantastic opportunities for personal development, with music, art, drama and sporting activities to suit every taste. We also undertake a wide range of school trips every year, both here in the UK and to destinations such as Japan and New York.

 

As a High Performing School specialising in Technology and Training we have been able to develop our teaching and our facilities so that we can extend opportunities and raise standards year on year.

 

We are extremely proud of our girls and know that they are serious about making the most of their skills and talents. There is an atmosphere of calm endeavour throughout the school which impresses all our visitors.

 

We hope that you find our website informative and helpful. If you would like to give us feedback, please send an e-mail to: newlands@rbwm.org

Green Thought of the Week

Take a load off

If you have to use a car regularly, clear the boot of clutter. Removing unnecessary objects will reduce the overall weight of the vehicle - cutting fuel consumption and carbon emissions by easing the load on the engine! Magic!
