Newland School for Girls is a diverse, highly aspirational and academically high achieving school. We are rightly proud of being all-girls, serving and educating young ladies in Hull for over 100 years. We encourage every student to have high aspirations and the ambition to succeed. Newland School for Girls is recognised as the one of the highest achieving schools in Yorkshire in 2018, placed in the top 10% of schools in Hull and placed 12th out of similar schools nationally.

We offer a unique educational experience in the city and girls who are part of our school become part of the strong network of Newland Old Girls, within the city and beyond. We promote the traditional values of respect, care for each other and self-discipline, while celebrating the school’s diverse talents, abilities and cultures. Our students work together in a well-ordered, harmonious and happy community drawn from all cultures and backgrounds across the city. We place a high value on care and nurture to enable all our students to make rapid academic progress and grow into caring and responsible young adults. Our students have a keen appreciation of moral values, a lively sense of purpose and a justified pride in themselves. They value highly the support they receive from teachers, the challenge they receive in lessons and the tolerance and respect all students have for each other in their school community.

We have high levels of attendance and punctuality. Our students are successful, personable and motivated to learn. “Students’ good behaviour and highly positive attitudes to learning are underpinned by good promotion of spiritual, moral, social and cultural education.” We place a high value on the development of character alongside, a student’s ability to achieve excellent examination results.

Our journey towards outstanding is one that is characterised by a culture of high expectations and belief in every girl; we aspire to be at the forefront of creative change. To set our mark for others to aspire to and follow our school is innovative and exciting.

Newland School for Girls vision is that every learner – student, staff, community member – who is part of or involved with the school learning community will feel valued and be treated as an individual; the school experience will be personalised to the learner and their environment. All stakeholders are able to progress and achieve in a safe and secure, yet challenging environment and will be encouraged and supported to believe and attain to their true potential. Every learner will have the necessary level of attainment and skills, in line with or exceeding their potential to enable them to enter and be successful in their next and chosen pathway. Our school will have outcomes, which not only demonstrate achievement in line with the top quartile of all comprehensive schools but also exemplifies good practice in terms of ensuring every child has the best chance for success.

The standards we achieve are vital to our continued success, but we believe, it is not the only measure we should focus upon; developing the individual as a whole person, not just as a set of qualifications, is just as important and is central to what we do each and every day at Newland School for Girls.

In order to achieve our vision we have three central features:

PRIDE: Each and every member of our community takes pride in everything we do – from the work we complete, to our appearance and conduct, to the standards we achieve

ASPIRE: Each and every member of our community aspires to be the best we can be in all that we do.

EXCELLENCE: Each and every member of our community will achieve excellence through focus, determination and a will to succeed.

Thrive Co-operative Learning Trust was created in September 2016 and now includes 3 secondary and 7 primary schools.

Our aim, underpinned by co-operative values and an ethical approach to leadership, is to inspire our students and staff and bring rapid and sustained improvement to the communities we live and work in.
