Newcastle-under-Lyme School is a co-educational private day school in the town of Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire, England. It came about by a merger in 1981 of the old Newcastle High School (founded in 1874) [1] with the Orme Girls' School (founded in 1876). [1] Earlier predecessor boy's and girls schools date back over 400 years. [2]
The school nowadays consists of nursery and preparatory departments, a senior school and a sixth form. It takes boys and girls from the ages of 3–18. The current Headmaster is Michael Getty. [3]
The school belongs to the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC). It is one of the top 100 performing schools in England in terms of its A-level results, [4] and managed record GCSE pass levels in 2020. [5]
The school recently constructed a new sports hall [6] and was refused planning permission, [7] this refusal came after objection from the council and nearby homeowners. However the school won the appeal and the council was ordered to pay for the cost of the appeal. [8]
The cost of the facilities was provided by Denise Coates [9] who owns Bet365. Objections from pupils surrounding the school taking funding from a betting company were ignored by the school and governors. This led to protest and outrage from the media and students. [10]
