Headteacher's Welcome
At Newlands, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to thrive, achieve and become the very best version of themselves. For over a century, we have been inspiring young women to aim high, work hard and leave us with the confidence, knowledge and character to shape their future.
Our students benefit from exceptional teaching, outstanding pastoral care and a rich range of opportunities that allow them to flourish academically, creatively and physically. Whether in the classroom, on the sports field, on the stage or in positions of responsibility, students are encouraged to discover their strengths, pursue their passions and make a difference. This fills me with enormous pride on a daily basis.
What makes Newlands truly special is our community. Our core values of courage, commitment and compassion are woven into the fabric of everyday life at our school; kindness and respect are palpable. Through our vibrant House System and extensive leadership opportunities, students develop lifelong friendships, a strong sense of belonging and the confidence to lead, contribute and inspire others.
As both a parent and a Headteacher, I know that success is about more than results alone. It is about nurturing happy, resilient and compassionate young women who are ready to embrace every opportunity and challenge that lies ahead, both in the classroom and beyond it.
I am incredibly lucky to be the leader of this fantastic school. I warmly invite you to visit Newlands, meet our students and staff, and experience for yourself the energy, warmth and ambition that make our school such a remarkable place to learn and grow.

Life after Newlands 
JenNy's Courage
“Newlands gave me the confidence to explore different paths — from medical school to the RAF — until I found my place in the cockpit of a Chinook. Flying around the world, taking part in RAF100 over Buckingham Palace, and landing on warships have made the hard work more than worth it.”
Blaise's Commitment
“Whilst studying Economics, I took modules in sustainability and eco‑initiatives and these reignited a passion I’d first discovered at Newlands. That spark led me to PwC’s sustainability division, where I now work on global environmental projects — including developing an AI tool to help companies be transparent about their impact.”
Laura's Compassion
“After leaving Newlands, I spent a transformative gap year teaching music in a women’s prison and working at Camp America. I’m now graduating this June and have secured a Performing Arts teaching role in the Cayman Islands, with hopes of training as a Music Therapist in the future.”
Rebecca's Courage
“After leaving Newlands I decided to focus on my health and build a path that truly suited me, leading me to study Food Science and complete a BSc in Food Marketing Management. I’m now thriving in my second year of Morrisons’ Manufacturing Graduate Scheme, proving that with determination, resilience and self‑belief, you can rewrite your future and achieve more than you ever imagined.”
Harjyot's Commitment
“Encouraged to defer university for a year, I went on to study Politics and had three of the best years of my life before beginning my career in London. I’m now a qualified CIM Associate working in Marketing and PR, travelling widely and thriving in a tech role that grew from my first job in IT at BlackBerry.”
Leanne's Compassion
“Through networking I secured an internship with Vodafone, which led to my role at the Ministry of Justice, where no two days are ever the same. The computer skills I first built at Newlands — and the compassion that underpins the work I do with every case — have helped me thrive in a job I genuinely enjoy.
