- **5/5** — Amazing: Really great school. They culture at the school is very supportive and all students are well looked after. The science teachers and Mr Clark are especially amazing but *(Jul 2024)*
- **2/5** — Review: The teachers here were casually racist to non-white pupils. I find this worrying, that educators can't wrap their heads around the fact that singling out someone because of their race, assuming they or their family can't speak English, is racism. A white pupil would never be subject to such treatment. The teachers here favour the 'popular' kids and make no effort to hide it, encouraging their bad behaviour. The receptionists are stony-faced and treat pupils with such disdain. They would rather s… *(May 2024)*
- **1/5** — Rubbish school: Islamaphobic,racist,unhygienic,pro Zionist school no joke. If you want to have 9/11 (ground 0) mentioned in an RE lesson being compared to going to Mekkah (pilgrimage) then go to Newlands(the teacher who said this you know who you are).They have double standards when raising money for Ukraine but putting you on the watch list for saying free Palestine!!! (Pro Zionist teachers) 0 funding aswell it went to he swimming pool instead! 🤔🤔😨!! Want for poisoning? Go the canteen and eat their food they r… *(Oct 2023)*
- **5/5** — Sarah: Newlands Girls school is no different 2 any teenage school, the hardest times of teenagers lives , I have just been 2 a production of The Addams family, at Newlands, which was absolutely AMAZING, these kids r passionate + the teachers r brill, upmost respect xxxx *(Jul 2023)*
- **1/5** — Disappointing experience and out come for both daughters.: Teachers are not equipped to teach in a modern setting. The school relys heavily on parent supplied home tutors to again good results. Pupils that progress and attain good results all ready have a natural tallent and may be held back by the poor quality of teaching. In my experience pupils who are neurally diverse will suffer at this school as the senior management have no understanding of how to make adjustments to support these pupils and choose not to support them, they would rather off roll … *(Jun 2023)*
- **3/5** — Newlands: Food is horrific. Students are awful and teachers do not seem excited to teach *(Apr 2023)*
- **2/5** — It’s a perfect school xxx: The school is poorly designed, not cleaned properly and has had many dodgy teachers. The cantine food is expensive and of low quality, often undercooked or cold. The medical team is under qualified and cannot help you with many of your injuries. The mental health focusing team completely is unqualified in psychology and do not help you in useful ways. Academically it is a great school. If you want your child to excel in school work but hate their school and everything about it then send them her… *(Oct 2022)*
- **1/5** — Terrible school: The school is just in shambles. The academic experience is appalling to say the least, the students are completely loose and the teachers are beyond useless. There have been countless complaints of bullying, harassment, abuse etc from multiple parents but the school does quite literally nothing about it. Had my daughter complain about being bullied for about 4 months to the point where she was getting threatened and was afraid to even enter the school buss. Had MULTIPLE arguments and conversatio… *(Jul 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional Education and Care: We've been thoroughly impressed with the education and care provided by Newlands Girls' School for our daughter. The 3Cs of Courage, Commitment, and Compassion really shine through in the way the teachers and staff support the girls. The facilities are also excellent, and our daughter loves participating in the school sports teams. *(Jun 2022)*
- **3/5** — Good but Room for Improvement: We've been pleased with the education our daughter is receiving at Newlands Girls' School, but there are a few areas where we feel the school could improve. The facilities are good, but we've had some issues with communication from the school when it comes to reporting and updates. Overall, we're happy, but we do think the school has potential to be even better. *(Apr 2022)*
