What the data says
Of the 86 pupils who finished Year 11 at Newport Girls' High School Academy in 2023, 87% stayed on in Newport Girls' High School Academy’s own sixth form (Telford and Wrekin average 29%), 5% went to a further education college and none started an apprenticeship.
Among the 103 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 77% went to university (Telford and Wrekin 35%, England 37%), and 60% of level 3 students progressed to one of the most selective universities, against 19% nationally.
GCSE results in 2025 were well above the national picture: Attainment 8 of 75.3 against 46.1 across England and 44.2 in Telford and Wrekin, with 97% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%) — as a selective grammar school, Newport Girls' High School Academy admits pupils by test at 11, which drives these figures.
