Newport High School has been taken out of Estyn special measures. Inspectors said the school has made sufficient progress to no longer need the highest level of intervention from the inspectorate.
A report from inspectors highlighted improvements made and recommended further areas for improvement. Newport Council leader Jane Mudd said “great strides” have been made by the school and the decision by Estyn to remove it from special measures was down to the hard work and dedication of the head teacher, staff and governing body.
Head teacher Gill Lee said: “We are so pleased that Estyn has found that the school’s progress means it can be taken out of special measures. This is not just because of the work done by a few, it is an achievement by the whole school community and we are determined to get better and better.”
