We trust you will get a feel for a vibrant and exciting school that puts students first and genuinely believes every single student matters.
In a fast, ever-changing world it is vital that schools equip young people with the skills and confidence to face the 21st Century. At Newport High School we are dedicated to developing happy and successful students. We know that good learners continue to achieve and feel fulfilled throughout their lives. This is why we put students and their parents at the centre of all that we do. We want our students to be excited and engaged by all that we have to offer. By putting learners at the heart of our work, we are creating a school with a real buzz and are developing confident and caring citizens of the future.
Our curriculum enables us to offer a truly impressive range of learning activities, both curricular and cross-curricular. However, we also pride ourselves on our attention to students as individuals, each with their own unique skills and talents and each with their own capacity to succeed.
At Newport High School we are very fortunate to have truly outstanding facilities. Our modern building provides students with a learning environment fit for the 21st Century. We are a caring school which sets high standards and believes the relationship between school, student and home is strongest when all are working together.
We are proud of our school and our students. Come and visit us and you will see why.
Mrs. Karyn Keane, Headteacher
Learning – Our Core Purpose
We believe that classrooms are the most important places in the school and it is there that we place our emphasis upon creativity, challenge and learning.
The school offers a flexible curriculum that caters for each child’s learning needs, allowing them to access a range of qualifications appropriate to their abilities and aspirations. This is a curriculum where learning how to learn is just as important as acquiring knowledge.
Our Key Stage 3 curriculum has been designed with the aim of ensuring students feel safe, happy and successful from the start of their secondary education. Students work with their Tutor for Learning for a significant portion of their timetable covering the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum in Art, History, Geography, Literacy, Numeracy, Personal and Social Education and Religious Studies. This is complemented by specialist teaching in Design & Technology, English, French, ICT, Maths, Music, PE, Science, and Welsh. We monitor all students’ performance carefully to ensure they make sound progress in their learning.
Students begin some of their Key Stage 4 studies at the start of Year 9. This enables us to demonstrate to students and parents our belief in their ability to succeed.
Newport High School is part of the Newport West Post-16 Partnership together with Bassaleg School, John Frost High School, St. Joseph's R.C. High School, and Coleg Gwent City of Newport Campus. Students in Years 12 and 13 are able to choose options from any centre within this partnership.
To expand students’ knowledge and interests beyond their usual curriculum subjects we offer an extensive range of extra-curricular provision and clubs which includes both sporting and non- sporting activities.
Learning – A Personal Approach
Our approach is personal so that all learners feel known and valued. Teaching that enables all to learn, that is engaging, accessible and challenging is what we provide so that students know how to learn and how to improve their learning.
The Form Tutor is the key person in a student’s experience of school life. The Form Tutor tracks both the development of their students, and provides an invaluable link with parents.
In addition to subject evenings and a range of information events, each year group has a dedicated Progress Review Evening. This provides an invaluable opportunity for parents or carers and family members, with the student, to meet with Tutors for Learning in Year 7 and Year 8 and subject teachers in Years 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 to review progress.
We also take great care at points of transition for our students: Year 6 - 7; Year 9 - 10; Year 11 - Post 16 and then on to university or the world of work. We help students to make informed choices and support them through each phase of their education.
Learning – A Partnership Approach
We welcome parents and carers as co-educators and see parental support and involvement as a vital part of the school’s life. We believe that the stronger the liaison between home and school, the more rewarding the experience of school will be for our students.
We place a high value on developing positive relationships and partnerships with all our stakeholders. From local schools to universities, we continue to build on our partnerships with other educational organisations with whom we can share best practice resources, experiences and expertise. Our learners benefit from our partnerships with other schools in the Newport Post-16 Collaboration and our links with University of South Wales and Cardiff Metropolitan University.
We also enjoy links with businesses, community groups and volunteer organisations to enrich our curriculum and extend the experiences of our learners. Learning – Developing Skills for Life
We expect students to take responsibility for their own learning and behaviour.
In lessons, in their relationships with each other and every member of the school community, we expect students to be enthusiastic, courteous and attentive. Responsibility is valued in every aspect of school life including academic progress, care for each other and care for the environment.
Newport High is a school where students will be challenged to work hard and give of their best, as well as being a happy and caring school, where individual needs are met and where the individual student matters. We provide a safe and calm environment in which young people of all abilities and backgrounds can learn, work, play and grow up together. We use every opportunity to foster a positive community ethos, with shared values. All of our students and staff are very proud of their school.
Learning – Beyond the Classroom
Whilst Newport High School has a strong focus on academic achievement we also value personal and social education. Extra-curricular activities are a strength of the school. We offer a broad range of activities that ensure all students find success and enjoyment.
This begins in Key Stage 3 with team building, active learning and group work activities. In Key Stage 4 students have the opportunity to complete the Duke of Edinburgh award and a post-16 Dragons region junior rugby academy has enriched our sixth form provision.
Opportunities exist throughout the school in a mixture of curricular and extra-curricular activities. Newport High offers a full range of comprehensive after-school sessions including music, sporting, academic and enrichment activities.
Our School 2018-2019
Newport High School is an 11-18, English medium comprehensive school located on the western side of Newport. Our vision is reflected in our mission statement:
Learning-Believing-Achieving
At Newport High School a personalised approach to learning is at the core of everything we do. All learners experience high quality learning opportunities to develop and celebrate their individual talents within an inspirational environment. We believe that within our community every individual is important and valued and that every learner will be supported to achieve their very best.
It is our aim to ensure that all students leaving Newport High School will be happy, fulfilled, confident young adults with skills and qualifications which will equip them for the 21st Century. How do we achieve this?
• A curriculum which stimulates learning and matches the needs of all students. • Teaching which is focussed on learning. • A safe and happy environment which encourages learning. • A strong working partnership between parents and school. • A school at the heart of the community.
Our Curriculum
The School offers a flexible curriculum that caters for each child’s learning needs, allowing them to access a range of qualifications appropriate to their abilities and aspirations. This is a curriculum where learning how to learn is just as important as acquiring knowledge.
The Year 7 and Year 8 curriculum has been designed with the aim of ensuring students feel safe, happy and successful from the start of their secondary education. Students work with their Tutor for up to half of their timetable studying a range of subjects including Literacy, Numeracy, History, Geography, Religious Studies, and ICT. To complement the work with their Tutor, students access specialist teaching in English, Maths, Science, PE, Design & Technology, ICT and Music.
Students continue with their core English, Maths and Science curriculum in Year 9 and this is combined with a KS3 non-core carousel of History, Geography, RS, Music, Design Technology and Art lessons. In addition, students are given the opportunity to complete a L2 vocational programme in ICT. This practice allows learners to gain early experience of examination practice and success which is an important part of our approach to raising the aspirations of learners. Students begin their study of the Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification during Year 9.
Students begin their study of GCSE English, Maths and Science programmes during Year 10. Each year, learners in Year 10 and Year 11 are given the choice of GCSE option courses from a range of subject areas.
Newport High School is part of the Newport West Post-16 Partnership together with Bassaleg School, John Frost High School and St. Joseph's R.C. High School. Students in Years 12 and 13 are able to choose options from within this partnership.
To expand students’ knowledge and interests beyond their usual curriculum subjects we offer a range of extra- curricular activities and clubs.
Welsh Language Provision
The school is classed as an English Medium school that delivers Welsh second language lessons to all students in Key Stages 3 and 4. We work hard to develop our students’ use and understanding of the Welsh language.
We work closely with feeder primary schools to moderate the assessment of learners work at Key Stage 2 and ensure they are prepared for the study of Welsh language at secondary level. At Key Stage 3 all students receive 2 hours of specialist Welsh language teaching each fortnight. At Key Stage 4 the teaching of Welsh continues. It is our policy to enter all students for GCSE Short Course Welsh or GCSE Full Course Welsh. Some students may follow the OCR NVQ Welsh. Incidental Welsh is used throughout the school on a daily basis.
Religious Worship and Religious Studies
Assemblies are held daily. They are non-denominational and emphasise the development of moral and spiritual values. We also have a ‘Thought for the Week’, which enables students to reflect with their Tutor on a range of moral issues. All learners throughout the school receive lessons in Religious Studies. It is seldom that children are withdrawn from these lessons by parental request, although that right exists. Parents who wish to withdraw their children from either Religious Studies or collective worship, in whole or in part, should contact the Head of Key Stage or the Head of House. Students who are exempt will follow an alternative programme of study.
Music
All Key Stage 3 students receive a broad musical education focusing on the development of skills in performing, composing and appraising. Students can opt to take Music at both Key Stage 4 and at Post-16. Instrumental tuition can be arranged from peripatetic teachers on request.
Personal and Social Education (PSE)
Our PSE programme aims to support students through their physical, emotional, moral and spiritual development and enable them to make well-informed decisions about their lives.
Our PSE programme is delivered by Tutors at Key Stage 3 and through the Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification at Key Stage 4. Lessons make use of a range of teaching materials including booklets, drama activities, DVD materials, and contributions from specialist outside speakers. Parents have the right to withdraw a student from receiving sex and relationships education except when such education is part of the National Curriculum. Any parent who wishes to exercise this right should inform the Headteacher in writing. If parents need further information before making a decision they should discuss their concerns with the Head of Year.
Sex and Relationships Education
Our Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) programme aims to support and help students through their physical, emotional, moral and spiritual development. As well as learning about sex, sexuality and sexual health, students are taught the importance of making responsible and well-informed decisions about their lives. Our SRE programme teaches the importance of stable, loving relationships.
Careers Education & Advice
All students receive up to date careers information and advice as part of the PSE programme /Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification and are designed to promote the learning outcomes of the Careers and the World of Work Framework. Learners need to know where they are now and where they aspire to be in the future, to know what is available in the world of work, to be able to make and implement decisions and know where to seek information and access guidance about career planning.
Information is also available from our school-based Careers Adviser and from the Careers Section of the Learning Resource Centre.
Work Focused Experiences
The school offers a wide range of work-focused experiences in order to help prepare students effectively for adult and working life. These activities include enterprise days in Key Stage 3 and the Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification Enterprise and Employability skills challenge.
Extra-curricular provision
We believe it is important to offer a varied range of opportunities for students to participate in at the end of the school day. The up-to-date programme of extended day activities can be accessed on the school website but currently includes: Rugby, Football, Hockey, Netball, 5 x 60, Homework Club, Photography, Science, French and Maths workshops.
ICT
Students and staff have access to cutting-edge Information and Communication Technology (ICT). In the school’s teaching and learning spaces there are PCs and laptops for students to use and the classrooms have projectors and whiteboards which encourage students to get actively involved in the lessons. Other specialist facilities include multi-media suites, an Apple iMac suite, CAD-CAM resources, a drama studio and Science & Technology suites. Through the school’s Virtual Learning Environment, students can log on with their password and access learning resources and information from home or wherever there is Internet access. Students can, for example, download curriculum material and submit homework.
Pastoral Support and Well-being
If students are happy, safe and supported, they thrive at school and will achieve their personal best at the right time for them. Supporting students is our top priority, whether this is monitoring and keeping them on track with their learning or whether they need help to deal with personal, social or other issues. Every student at Newport High School is treated equally and fairly. We believe the needs of all learners are important and work hard to ensure that all are listened to and cared for. Newport High School is committed to equal opportunities.
Year 7 tutor groups are made up of students from around 3 feeder primary schools. To build good relationships with students before they start Year 7, Tutors visit primary feeders during the summer term, teaching, team- teaching and meeting parents. At Newport High School, Year 7 Tutors can spend just under half the timetable with their group. This helps to ensure students feel safe, happy and well-known. Our Pupil Admission Number (the maximum number of learners in each year group) is set by Newport City Council at 203.
Each year group consists of 7 Form Tutor groups. Looking after these tutor groups are Heads of Year, Assistant Heads of Year and Form Tutors, so no one feels lost in a big group and everyone gets personal attention with a feeling of belonging.
All aspects of learning, behaviour and welfare are taken care of by the Heads of Year, Assistant Heads of Year and Form Tutors to ensure that students feel safe, valued and cared for.
We take seriously any problems that might get in the way of learning so issues such as bullying are dealt with quickly.
Inclusion and Additional Needs
The school’s policy of inclusive education applies equally to all adults and children. A high level of support is available for students to help them meet their learning challenges. Students are supported by personalised learning programmes devised by the Inclusion Team. Students with Additional Learning Needs are supported by a comprehensive learning development team with Teaching Assistants led by the Additional Learning Needs Coordinator. We have a wide range of support structures in place, such as counsellors, Learning Coaches and a Child Protection Officer, as well as a range of external agencies to assist in specialised areas.
All of the school, its grounds and facilities are accessible to students who have a physical disability.
Throughout the year, we arrange parent consultation evenings with each year group providing parents with an opportunity to discuss the progress of their children with their Tutor in Year 7 and Year 8 and their class teachers in Years 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. Full details and dates are published at the start of the academic year. We value our partnerships with parents, if you wish to visit the school at any other time you are advised to make an appointment beforehand.
Our Food Court is open daily and offers students a range of healthy food options. Students stay on site for the day, including lunchtime and breaks, to ensure their safety while in our care and to keep their focus on learning. There is an all-day café for use by students in Year 12 and Year 13. Our school meal provision is managed by Alliance in Partnership. We operate a cashless card system and make use of Parent Pay as a means of allowing parents to make online payments for school meals.
Ethos
We ask four things of our students: • To care for and look after each other. As an inclusive, culturally diverse school, we value and respect each individual, and ask our students to do the same. We want everyone who works and learns in the Newport High School to feel comfortable. • To care for the environment around us. We are lucky enough to have one of the best schools in the country. Not only do we encourage the students to look after their school environment, but also the wider environment. • To be ambassadors for our school and community. We encourage our students to take pride in their school and play an active part in the development of the local community. • To do your best. We encourage our students to always do their best. We promote a learning culture where success is something students aspire to and we regularly reward achievements
We want our students to feel proud of their school and we believe a smart appearance, good behaviour, punctuality and good attendance are integral to this. We use a merit system which recognises high standards of effort and achievement. In addition, students can earn Extra Mile Awards for their contributions to the school community.
We have a Code of Conduct and a Home-School Agreement which sets out clearly the responsibilities the school, students and parents/carers have towards each other. The Home School Agreement is integral to our commitment to work together with families to achieve the best outcomes for every student. This contract is signed prior to admission to our school.
We believe student participation is essential for the future development of our school. We have a Student Council, which gives students a voice and the opportunity to share in the school’s progress.
Policies and protocols
Copies of all school policies including Admissions, Anti-Bullying, Additional Needs, Complaints and the Strategic Equalities Plan are available from the school on request, or can be accessed on the school website, www.newporthigh.co.uk. Parents wishing to express a concern should do so in the first instance to the appropriate Head of Year who will make every effort to resolve the matter.

• Additional Learning Needs The school has an Additional Learning Needs (ALN) Policy which details the framework of identification, assessment and provision for students with additional educational needs.
• Charging Policy Education is provided without compulsory charges to parents. The school finances most activities with funds received from the Local Authority. There are, however, some valuable educational activities which the school cannot provide without seeking some financial support from parents. The Governors have agreed a policy statement on Charging and Remissions, which is available for inspection at the school.
• Equal Opportunities The school has a Strategic Equalities Plan and is committed to taking positive steps to reduce any disadvantage experienced by individuals or groups.
• Health & Safety Our Health and Safety policy outlines how the school maintains safe and healthy working and learning conditions for all staff, students and visitors. Risk assessments are regularly completed and reviewed with any health and safety risks being resolved. Fire regulations are met and regular inspections undertaken together with fire drills. Staff are required to wear identity badges and visitors are required to report to reception where they are provided with identification badges.
• Home School Agreement The school has a written home-school agreement. It explains the school’s aims and values, its responsibilities towards its learners who are of compulsory school age, the responsibilities of parents and what the school expects of its students. The agreement provides a framework for the development of the school and parents working together in order to help students achieve. All parents, or if a child is in care, the local authority or voluntary association involved, are invited to sign the parental declaration
• Looked After Children At Newport High School we are committed to raising the educational aspirations and attainment of looked after (LAC) learners by implementing the principles and practice outlined in key government guidance and legislation, in particular, The Children Act 2004. The Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion is the member of staff responsible for promoting the educational achievements of Looked After Children (LAC) and works with close consideration of all current guidance and legislation.
Sporting Aims and Provision
All students in Years 7-11 are given equal opportunity to participate in a wide variety of sporting activities. Through sport, the school helps students develop their fitness, a sense of well-being, improved confidence and co-operation and an understanding of the importance of maintaining a healthy life-style. At school we know a healthy body and mind are vital for excellent learning. There is a wide range of sports activities undertaken during the year where students represent the school. These include football, rugby, hockey, cricket, netball, athletics and cross-country.
The Active Living Centre includes a 25m swimming pool, fully equipped fitness suite and a dance studio which is open to the public. In addition, there is a main sports hall, as well as an outdoor Astroturf pitch and playing fields. These facilities are available for community use after the school day. A wide variety of community groups make use of our specialist sporting provision.
Our Dragons Region Junior Rugby Academy is a joint initiative with the Welsh Rugby Union Rugby Development team with our 1st Xv rugby team playing in the WRU U18 College League. Newport RFC has also joined this partnership and supports the initiative by providing specialist coaching and conditioning support. The link with Newport RFC also creates a pathway for players with potential into the Welsh Premiership.
Partnership working
We place a high value on developing positive relationships and partnerships with all our stakeholders. Parents form a crucial part of this, and we want parents to be active partners in their children’s education. Our staff will liaise with parents on a range of areas including progress, welfare, behaviour, homework and Additional Needs.
We encourage parents to talk to their children regularly about life at school. We keep parents informed of their child’s progress and school events through regular newsletters, our website and parent consultation meetings. As well as having parent governors, we have a parents’ association – the Friends of Newport High School - to further support the school’s work and share in its successes.
The Friends of Newport High School has been formed to foster a close and friendly relationship between parents, staff and friends. It works closely with students and staff to ensure that funds are allocated to areas of need. The Friends of Newport High School are particularly keen to welcome the parents of new students and look forward to meeting with you at school events.
From local schools to universities, we continue to build on our partnerships with other educational organisations with whom we can share resources, experiences and expertise. We already benefit from our partnerships with other schools in the Newport Post-16 Collaboration and our links with the University of South Wales.
We also enjoy links with businesses, community groups, volunteer organisations and others to enrich our curriculum and extend the experiences of our learners.
