Mr Scott has been Head of Newport Girls' High School since 2018. A keen linguist, he still enjoys teaching German and with a part degree in Music, he is a keen advocate of the role that co-curricular activities play (pardon the pun!) in enabling students to be most successful, especially as academic prowess alone may not be sufficient in today's diverse and exciting world.

Prior to joining NGHS, Mr Scott was a Deputy Head on the Wirral where he had oversight of the sixth form and the UCAS process. He has over 10 years experience supporting students with UCAS applications for universities both in the UK and abroad. He also teaches two groups of EPQ in the sixth form and believes the qualification is hugely beneficial for future study at university or in the world of work.

Mr Scott has oversight of the sixth form as Headteacher. He enjoys meeting and talking to prospective students and finding out more about their interests, passions and future goals. No request is too silly nor problem too small - do get in touch if you have any questions about the School and Mr Scott will be pleased to answer them.

Miss Webster joined NGHS in September 2021 and oversees all aspects of Year 11-13.

She works closely with students, families and our wider Pastoral Team to ensure all students not only have the skills to achieve, but also to look after themselves and each other in preparation for higher education.

Mr Pointon joined NGHS in 2018 and is our Sixth Form Achievement Coordinator.  Mr Pointon teaches Psychology to A-level.
