Welcome to Newlands Girls' School
You may never make a more important decision than where to study in your final years of school. Each year we welcome over 130 students to our Sixth Form which makes for a diverse, animated, and welcoming community in which new friendships are forged, and old ones cemented. We are very proud to be an ambitious and caring community of young people who are an absolute asset to our school, and who all go on to achieve incredible things. Our extensive offer of 24 A-Levels and four BTECs provides a wide range of opportunities to prepare our young people for the next stage of their lives. Our subject specialist teachers deliver a rich curriculum which develops character and thrives on aspiration, respect and positive relationships. Each year, our outstanding examination results ensure that entry requirements for the most prestigious universities are met or exceeded. These results also enable students to pursue their chosen paths including apprenticeships, sponsored degrees, further education, or employment opportunities. With in-house careers advice on offer throughout Sixth Form, and a comprehensive pastoral programme, students are equipped for life beyond school, and leave with confidence and enthusiasm for the next steps of their journey. We cannot wait to welcome the class of 2026.
