What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 November 2022
Newport Girls' High School pupils are enormously proud of their school. They feel happy and safe. Pupils know that they have exceptional opportunities to learn and to develop their interests and talents. They express great appreciation for the opportunities and experiences they are provided with to help them grow and develop into caring and responsible people. Pupils' attendance at school is excellent because they want to be there. Their behaviour is also excellent because they want to learn. Leaders and teachers have very high expectations of pupils' behaviour. They have created a caring and supportive environment. As a result, pupils thrive. Kindness is actively promoted by 'kindness ambassadors'. The community ethos is embodied by the comment from one pupil that, 'Just one kind word can change a person's day'. Bullying is rare. When it does occur, it is dealt with rapidly. Pupils say that bullying simply is not tolerated. All pupils know that they are expected to work hard, and they do so. They enjoy seeing their efforts rewarded and look forward to the next challenge. Pupils are keen to be successful but know they can ask for support whenever they need it and that it will be provided.
