Newcastle High School For Girls Named Finalist In The Independent Schools Of The Year Awards

Issue 107

Newcastle High School for Girls has been named a Finalist in the Independent Schools of the Year Awards, after being shortlisted in July. These prestigious awards celebrate and recognise the exceptional achievements of independent schools across the country.

This recognition further underscores the outstanding quality of education at NHSG, which was also shortlisted for Independent Senior School of the Year at the TES Schools Awards earlier this year.

The school’s nomination highlights the remarkable educational journey that girls experience at NHSG—from their first tentative steps in nursery to confidently stepping out into the world after Sixth Form, ready to follow their chosen paths and realise their dreams which is so beautifully captured in their recent ‘Dream Making to Trailblazing’ campaign and which offers a glimpse into the unique educational experience at Newcastle High, one of the leading girls’ schools in the country.

Amanda Hardie, Head of Newcastle High School for Girls, said: “We are absolutely delighted that NHSG has been named as a finalist in the Independent Schools of the Year Awards. Last year, we launched our ‘Dream Making to Trailblazing’ campaign to showcase the ethos of our school and the value of an all-girl education. Through a series of films, we captured the experiences of individual pupils at each stage of their educational journey—from the very first days in nursery to their final steps in Sixth Form and beyond, as our alumnae go on to make their mark in the world.

The ‘Dream Making to Trailblazing’ campaign is a true reflection of what we deliver at NHSG every day. Through the medium of film the girls shared their own dreams and aspirations which were an authentic reflection of how, at NHSG, we empower every pupil to achieve their goals, becoming the leaders, trailblazers, and world-shapers of the future.”

“Newcastle High School for Girls is a vibrant learning community where every girl is celebrated as an individual and is encouraged to be the best version of herself—both academically and in her broader pursuits. It is a privilege to watch our pupils grow in confidence, character, and capability, as they head off to follow their dreams and shape the world for the better. The ‘Dream Making to Trailblazing’ campaign is a testament to the outstanding education we offer and the remarkable achievements of our pupils.”
