Newcastle High School for Girls is an independent day school for girls aged 3 - 18 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The Junior School is at Sandyford Park and the Senior School is located in the neighbouring suburb of Jesmond.
The school was formed in September 2014 by the merger of Central Newcastle High School and Newcastle upon Tyne Church High School. It is operated by the Girls' Day School Trust, an organisation which ran the predecessor school, Central Newcastle High, pre-merger.
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.
