At Newport Girls’ High School, we want every student to achieve highly, feel that they belong and make the most of the opportunities available to them. Our ethos is built around three simple values:
Being kind. Working hard. Having fun.
These values shape everyday life at NGHS and underpin our aims as a school.
Our aims
We strive to:
1. Provide an excellent education
Enabling every student to fulfil their academic potential and develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need for the future.
2. Create a kind, safe and inclusive community
Where everyone is valued, respected and celebrated, and where students feel a genuine sense of belonging.
3. Encourage everyone to contribute
Giving students opportunities to play an active part in our NGHS family and make a positive contribution to the wider community.
What this looks like at NGHS
We encourage everyone in our school community to:
- treat one another with kindness, dignity and respect
- respect each other’s right to learn
- take responsibility for their actions
- work hard and take pride in what they achieve
- show resilience when things are difficult
- reflect on their learning and respond positively to feedback
- celebrate diversity and value what makes each of us different
- welcome new members of our NGHS family
- get involved in House activities, clubs and wider school life
- support one another and contribute positively to our school and wider community.
Being kind. Working hard. Having fun.
These are simple words, but they capture what we want NGHS to be: a school where students are challenged to achieve their best, supported to become confident young people and encouraged to enjoy the opportunities and friendships that school brings.
