Newent: a caring and supportive school
Newent Community School and Sixth Form Centre is a caring and supportive 11 to 18 mixed comprehensive serving Newent, surrounding villages and, thanks to excellent transport links, Gloucester City, the Forest of Dean and Herefordshire. The school operates dedicated bus services for students living in the Gloucester City and Forest of Dean areas.
It is a high achieving school at the very heart of the community with a strong tradition of academic success within a positive and caring learning environment, based upon mutual trust and respect.
Newent continues to be a good school, as confirmed by Ofsted following their visit in March 2018, offering a high quality of education with recent observations recognising that its students are making strong progress in the majority of subjects. In addition it was rightly observed that students feel safe - and are safe - in school. This is achieved by the school’s culture of care and vigilance.
The report is a real vindication of our drive to develop confident, well-informed and caring young adults who have self-belief and fully participate in their local, national and international communities; the school provides a wealth of additional opportunities for students to achieve these aims.
Parents of prospective pupils can access a full virtual tour of the school from the comfort of their own home through the QR code on the advert on the back page of this magazine, and the school invites them to look at this resource. They can contact the school directly if they have any questions or wish to discuss options with senior leaders.
