CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SCHOOL
Girls’ 11-18 Comprehensive NOR1100, 200 in Sixth Form
(Ofsted inspection: 1st - 4th November 2004)
"Newlands Girls’ School is a comprehensive school, which has specialist status as a Technology College. It is about the same size as other secondary schools with 1129 students on roll. Its students are admitted from both the local area and further afield. The backgrounds of most students display some advantage and most parents are highly supportive of their children's education. Sixty six per cent are white British; others are mostly British Asian from Indian or Pakistani origin. Most speak English fluently but a minority do not. The percentage eligible for free school meals is below average (4.2 percent). The percentage of girls with special educational needs is below average at seven percent; 16 have statements. The students’ attainment on entry, in Year 7, is overall average although the ability of the student cohort is biased to the above average group and is similar to that at the last inspection. As well as being a specialist status school, the school's work in sport and the arts has been recognised by the award of the Sportsmark in 2002 and the Artsmark in 2004. It takes part in Mini-Enterprise and is an active member of the area 14-19 Consortium. Newlands has a sixth form, which is similar in size to that of most secondary schools but larger than at the last inspection."
