From the Headteacher, Michael Scott May I extend a warm welcome to our website.
Newport Girls’ High School offers an all-round education with considerable
strengths both inside and beyond the classroom. We support students academically
to achieve their potential, whilst also developing resilience and promoting
emotional wellbeing. As a relatively small school, there is a real family-feel
to NGHS and our house system affords students the chance to meet peers in other
year groups and to participate in healthy competition in a wide range of
disciplines. There is an extra-curricular activity to suit all tastes at NGHS
and staff work exceptionally hard to provide these opportunities for our
students. We also organise a number of key open events during the academic year
and welcome visitors to see all that NGHS has to offer. Our curriculum is
academically rigorous with all students studying two modern languages in KS3 and
separate sciences at GCSE. Some students also study Further Maths as an
additional equivalent GCSE. At A-level we offer a full range of subjects to
enable progression to university, apprenticeship or employment. Significant
support with UCAS applications is available to all. Our pastoral team,
comprising both teaching Heads of Year, SENDCO and non-teaching support staff
ensure that our students’ individual needs are met and we work closely with
families and primary schools to ensure a smooth transfer from Year 6. Newport
Girls’ High School was visited by Ofsted in October 2019 for a section 8
inspection. We are delighted to have retained our outstanding status as a result
of this visit under the revised Ofsted framework.
