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 for the Week

If you've got a squeaky door, try applying a little olive oil to the hinge. You'll find it makes life quieter without the need for petrochemical lubricants.
