Newcastle High School for Girls

At NHSG, we give girls the freedom to find their own identity and to overcome the confidence gap that sees so many girls and women underestimating their own abilities. Most of all, we offer an outstanding academic education, always putting our girls first to make sure that every single girl is supported and grows into a bold and independent young woman, ready to take on the world – to be leaders, trailblazers and world-shapers.

To enable this, girls from the age of 3 to 18, enjoy a broad and varied curriculum alongside an exciting co-curriculum, all taught by staff who are specialists in the education of girls. Pastoral care is excellent and is given equal weight to the academic programme. The importance of equipping girls with the broader life skills and values that combine to make happy, healthy and fulfilling lives is a binding principle that runs throughout the school, and the sense of community is strong. All of this is delivered within outstanding facilities across the whole school, at both Junior and Senior schools, and the use of technology in teaching and learning sets NHSG apart in the range of opportunities created and offered.

Unique in the the North East, NHSG is one of the schools in the Girls’ Day School Trust family, the leading UK network of girls’ schools, which educates around 20,000 girls nationwide and is committed to a shared ethos of putting girls first. The expertise and forward-thinking approach to education of the Girls’ Day School Trust is shared throughout the GDST creating a wealth of possibilities for the girls which continue to open doors long into their adult life.
