Newlands Girls' School

🎉 GCSE Results Day — and our Year 11s have done themselves proud!

We always knew what these young women were capable of, and this year they took an already strong school and made it stronger still. 9–7 grades in English and Maths almost doubled to 23% — brilliant in a year full of it. 💙

Bold, brilliant and heard — that’s a Newlands girl. 💪

Congratulations, Class of 2026! 💙

🎓 Year 13 Results Day 2026 — and our students have been extraordinary.

Today, three of our students opened envelopes containing straight A*s. Sixteen achieved three or more grades at A* or A. And across the whole cohort, students have been celebrating results that reflect years of graft, resilience and belief in themselves.

46% of our year group are heading to Russell Group universities, including Oxbridge — off to Cambridge, UCL, Durham, SOAS, Liverpool and Oxford Brookes to study International Relations, Geology, Nursing, Law and Mathematics. Others are starting apprenticeships with employers including Royal Caribbean.

The full picture:
✨ 54% of A Levels graded A*–B
✨ 27% of all grades at A* or A
✨ 97% of BTEC students achieving Merit, Distinction or Distinction*
✨ 46% progressing to Russell Group universities

Academic or vocational, A Level or BTEC, university or industry — there’s no single route to success here, and no single kind of student who thrives. Whatever your strength, you’ll find it, grow it and shine here.

🇩🇪 What an unforgettable few days on our Germany trip!

Our students explored the stunning town of Triberg in the Black Forest, home to Germany’s highest waterfalls, before visiting the beautiful city of Freiburg im Breisgau, where the region certainly lived up to its reputation as the sunniest in Germany! ☀️🌲 They also enjoyed a fantastic day discovering the charm and culture of Strasbourg.

The trip provided so many opportunities to bring language learning to life, experience different cultures, and create memories that will last a lifetime. We are incredibly proud of how brilliantly our students represented the school throughout the visit.
