About Newland School for Girls

Newland School for Girls has been rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s Progress 8 score of -0.13 is the most telling academic metric here: it means that, on average, pupils achieve slightly below the national expected progress across eight GCSE subjects. However, that figure looks much stronger when set against the local authority average of -0.44, placing Newland comfortably above most other secondary schools in Kingston upon Hull. In fact, the school ranks 6th out of 14 state secondaries in the area, putting it in the top half locally. The Attainment 8 score of 44.3 and the basics measure (62.2% achieving a grade 5 or above in English and maths) further underline solid, if not spectacular, academic performance. The school’s EBacc entry rate of 48% shows a reasonable push toward the full suite of academic subjects, though the EBacc average point score of 4.02 suggests room for further progress.
