Llanwern High School is an 11-18 school servicing much of the eastern side of Newport. The school was opened in 2012 and is located on the previous Hartridge High School site. As of July 2023, there were 981 pupils on roll and all the indications are that this will continue to increase in the future. The learning environment and school facilities are outstanding and include everything you would expect in a modern secondary school setting. Academic standards have risen considerably in recent years - at GCSE, in summer 2023, we achieved our highest ever exams points score (known as the Capped 9, which is the main whole school performance measure) and with 12.5% of pupils achieving at least 5 A* or A grades. All of our A Level students were awarded their first-choice university place also.

The School has been built to house 1,450 pupils such is the demand over the next few years as pupils across Newport look to take advantage of the facilities and educational opportunities available. Its location sees the school population feed in from the east side of Newport City and the school also benefits from a number of new housing developments, some completed, some in progress and some planned, situated close to the school. In our school we:

• Provide a safe, inclusive learning community where all pupils are valued and nurtured in order to reach their full potential

• Deliver a creative and engaging learner led curriculum that supports all pupils to make progress appropriate to their ability and develops them to become:

Ambitious and capable

• Empower all pupils to be respectful, responsible, resilient, empathetic and kind to others

• Support all pupils to become successful, valued and valuable members of society and to be happy in school 

In our school all staff and pupils are responsible for making the choice to support the achievement of our mission.
