Newport High School ({{lang-cy|Ysgol Uwchradd Casnewydd}}) is a co-educational secondary school in the Bettws district of the city of Newport, South Wales, UK for pupils aged 11–18 years.

Admissions

There are about 1,100 pupils from a catchment area to the north western side of Newport.{{citation needed|date=August 2016}}

History

The new school was built in front of the old Bettws Comprehensive School, built in 1970. The old school plot was sold to Barratt Homes for demolition and house building.

Academic performance

The school's most recent Estyn inspection took place in 2008. This report was in quick succession to an inspection during November 2007. The 2007 report noted the school's improvements, particularly in GCSE results, since the previous inspection in 2001, but recommended that significant further improvement was necessary.^[1] The 2008 report concluded that "significant improvement" had been made and the school was placed back into the standard inspection cycle.
