Newland School For Girls is a secondary school for girls aged 11– 16, situated in the Newland area of Kingston upon Hull, England.

History[]

Newland School was founded in 1907 to meet the growing demand for girls' education. It opened on the site of the former Central Secondary School in Brunswick Avenue.

A new building was constructed for the school on Cottingham Road, but was initially used as a World War I military hospital. ^[4] In 1920, the school moved to its new site in Cottingham Road and was renamed Newland High School. There were 480 girls on the roll in 1911, 598 in 1936, and 680 in 1963. ^[5]

In 2005, the Hull City Council proposed closing and consolidating Newland School with Hull Trinity House School, but after outcries from both schools, the plan was shelved, and plans for modernising the facilities were begun.^[6]

On 28 August 2007, the school celebrated its centenary. The School's unofficial song is "The City Of The Light", an old hymn which has been interpreted as an advanced metaphor for the unity needed to bring together a successful school.^{[by whom?]} The school's motto "Ad Lucem" ("to the light") is in keeping with this theme.

In 2009, Newland School was listed as part of a £400 million plan to modernise all Hull schools; Newland was said to require "extensive rebuilding work".^[7] While the building work was undertaken the school relocated to the Sir Henry Cooper School site on Thorpepark Road, Orchard Park Estate.^[8] The school relocated to its original site in September 2013.

Previously a community school administered by Hull City Council, in June 2017 Newland School for Girls converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Yorkshire and the Humber Co-operative Learning Trust.
