Highlights from Latest Full Inspection (27 March 2007)
Note: There may have been more recent inspections, since 27 March 2007, such as monitoring visits or short inspections. For details of all inspections, please see above.
This inspection rating relates to a predecessor school. When a school, converts to an academy, is taken over or closes and reopens as a new school a formal link is created between the new school and the old school, by the Department for Education. Where the new school has not yet been inspected, we show the inspection history of the predecessor school, as we believe it still has significance.
Description of the school Newport Girls’ is a popular and oversubscribed school. Priority for places in Year 7 goes to Newport pupils; thereafter pupils come from a wide surrounding area. The school became a Maths and Computing specialist school in September 2005. The thriving sixth form admits half of its students from neighbouring schools and collaborates with other providers to broaden curricular choice. The ethos of the school is friendly and welcoming but is one which values high standards in all aspects of school life. Girls’ attainment on entry is well above the national average, as is the socio-economic status of the vast majority.
