Newlands Girls' School

What Newlands Girls' School does

Newlands Girls' School is a state-funded secondary school located on Farm Road in Maidenhead, Berkshire, United Kingdom, serving female students aged 11-18 across Years 7-13. The school's core offering consists of two stages: Main School education (Years 7-11) delivering the UK National Curriculum including Mathematics, English, Sciences, Languages, Humanities, Arts and Technology, and a Sixth Form (Years 12-13) providing A-Level and BTEC qualifications. Supporting the academic programme are extensive extra-curricular activities, a PSHE programme spanning all key stages, and a structured Careers Education and Guidance service including work experience and university preparation under the Inspiring Futures Project.

The school is led by Headteacher Miss Capon, supported by two Deputy Headteachers (Mrs L Allaway and Mr A Morbey), two Assistant Headteachers (Miss C Bevan and Mr J O'Connell), and dedicated Heads of Year for Years 8-11. It employs approximately 70 staff and operates a single-site model with no satellite campuses. In May 2024, Ofsted conducted a full inspection and confirmed the school remains 'Outstanding', with the inspection report characterising the school as 'exceptional'. Operational technology is limited to standard UK school administrative tooling, including the Arbor MIS and a SharePoint-based myNGS portal.

Revenue is derived primarily from UK government education funding allocated per pupil via the local authority, rather than tuition fees. The school also generates a small additional revenue stream by hiring out its Gym and Sports Hall to the local community. Admissions for Year 7 operate through the standard local-authority-coordinated process, with separate in-year and Sixth Form admissions procedures. Prospective families are engaged through a school website, Facebook presence, weekly newsletter, annual open evenings, and Headteacher-led school tours arranged by prior appointment.
