Mr Adam Jones became Headteacher of  NGHS in September 2024 following twelve successful years on the senior leadership team of another girls' grammar school. A graduate in Mathematics, Mr Jones has taught for more than twenty years in three outstanding schools including a previous stint at NGHS at the beginning of his career.

As Headteacher, Mr Jones is responsible for the strategic oversight and all that happens at NGHS and he leads a family of almost 900 students and 70 staff. His vision is to ensure academic and co-curricular success (in and outside the classroom) through high-quality teaching, outstanding results and, above all, exceptional pastoral care.

Outside of school Mr Jones is kept busy by his two young sons. He is also a keen runner, gardener and coach of his son's football team.

Miss Sophie Webster joined NGHS in September 2021 as Deputy Headteacher after a long tenure at a large multi-academy trust in Birmingham where she held a number of roles culminating in the post of Assistant Headteacher.

As Deputy Headteacher, Miss Webster's main role is to oversee the pastoral care and behaviour of students as well as leading the development of Teaching & Learning.

As a teacher of Geography and PSHE, Miss Webster looks forward to getting to know all our students in and outside the classroom. Outside of school, she is a keen runner and also enjoys travelling and yoga.

Mrs Hayley Birch is our Designated Safeguarding Lead across the whole school and oversees the pastoral care of students in Years 7-10. Mrs Birch also leads on PSHE, a subject which is considered vital at NGHS. An enthusiastic teacher of PE, Mrs Birch juggles her SLT responsibilities with fixtures, training and matches.

Mr Oliver Pointon joined NGHS in September 2018 as Teacher of Psychology and RE. In 2020, he was appointed to the new role of Sixth Form Achievement Coordinator, where he supported groups of students to improve their attainment and progress in Years 12-13. This role widened as a result of our Sixth Form expansion and Mr Pointon's keen eye for data earned him the role of Assistant Head during Mrs Birch's maternity leave. In this role, he focuses on leading Teaching & Learning, whole-school use of data and assessment and our House ethos.

Miss Ann-marie Davies is one of the school's longest serving colleagues and joined SLT officially in September 2018. She leads on the progress of students for whom the school receives additional funding as well as the GCSE options progress and is Chair of our Head of Faculty group, where she leads and supports middle leaders to communicate  the vision and evaluate the content of their curriculum area. A keen historian, Miss Davies teaches History throughout the school and specialises in the Early Modern Period at A-level.

Miss Davies has recently taken over responsibility for the school's IT Strategy and works closely with the Network Manager to ensure the school continues to embrace new technologies.

Having joined NGHS from the Civil Service about 12 years ago, Mrs Kathy Jones has held a number of responsibilities, culminating in her appointment to the senior leadership team at NGHS in 2020. Her keen interest in Data, Health & Safety and her eye for detail mean she is well-placed to manage day-to-day operations in school as well as ensuring important H&S documentation is up to date. Mrs Jones is our Educational Visits Coordinator, is responsible for School Admissions and liaises regularly with prospective parents and the local authority. She also coordinates our Entrance Test and oversees our dedicated team of Support Staff.
