We had the most fantastic year in 2024-25. There were many highlights from academic and sporting success, to student leadership driving the school forwards with ideas and initiatives, guided by the Student Council. In May 2024, Ofsted conducted a routine inspection and judged that the school continues to be outstanding. The opening sentence of our Inspection Report rightfully describes us as ‘exceptional’. I am determined to continue to work alongside students, staff, parents, carers and governors to ensure we remain outstanding, and as I tell the students regularly, I see outstanding things every day in lessons and beyond.

* School Closure - Friday 26th June
Following the latest update from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Met office, the current red heat-health alert has now been extended until 11pm on Friday 26th June.
A red alert indicates a risk to life, even for healthy individuals, and signals that conditions may have wider impacts beyond health services.
Having carefully reviewed our position, including conditions in school buildings, we have made the decision that the school will remain closed to all pupils tomorrow (Friday 26th June) in order to keep everyone safe. Work will be sent in the same way by class teachers.
*Tickets for our musical production of Bugsy Malone are now on sale.
Performances are on Wednesday 8th,Thursday 9th & Friday 10th July. Tickets can be purchased here: www.ticketsource.co.uk/newlands-girls-school
