History
Newcastle High School for Girls was formed by the merger of the predecessor single-sex girls' schools, Church High School and Central Newcastle High School, which have had a strong reputation in the North East education sector for many years, with good reputations in terms of academic performance and ethos. A previous entry to this site states that its ethos is one of providing the very best education for girls, and furthermore states that both were known equally for their academic excellence, pastoral care and support.
Central Newcastle High School GDST dates back to 1876 when the Girls’ Public Day School Trust founded Gateshead High School. The School moved to Newcastle in 1895, and it became known as Central Newcastle High School. The school grew rapidly over many years due to the reputation it had gained throughout its 138-year history.
In 1883, The Church Schools’ Company decided to open a private girls' school in the North East which focused on a church-based learning environment. A High School for Girls in Newcastle was established in 1885 and opened with 59 pupils. A new association was formed in 1925 and the School was renamed The Newcastle upon Tyne Church High School.
Rich in tradition and heritage, separately Central High and Church High were very much renowned for their academic excellence and extra-curricular success. Therefore, due to the separate heritage of both schools, many reacted to the merger as putting together two schools with very different ways of educating, and that both schools held a separate ethos (i.e. Church's previous religious focus). Others voice that the school is now able to offer more opportunities to pupils than before.
Curriculum
Newcastle High School for Girls has a strong academic record and regularly ranks in the top 5 independent schools in North East England and top 100 nationally.
