History

Until the establishment of Newport Girls' High School and despite the long-established Adams' Grammar School providing boys' education, the town and its satellite villages had no publicly-funded secondary education for girls. The County Education Committee of Shropshire County Council approved the design of what remains as the street facade of the school in 1920. This was designed by the Committee's architect George Henry Bailey (1856 or 1857-1930) who had practiced in London before moving to Shropshire in 1910.[9] Its neo-Georgian front with white painted sash windows, stone window reveals and brick facing, alongside original wooden entrance doors and internal sky lantern in the main entrance hall, are comparable to other surviving commissions of this period, particularly surviving buildings at Wombridge Infants' School, Oakengates, Weston Rhyn Primary School (the brick later rendered), Maesbury Primary School (closed 2012), Walker Technical College (now residential) and Harlescott Junior School.[10] The main facade were built using Lilleshall common bricks, with cornices of Lilleshall seconds red, although there was criticism within the Committee during building that these bricks were of insufficient quality and the same as being used in local coal mines.[11] The builder A.H.Woodhouse of Hanwood, near Shrewsbury, was paid £12 000[12] and the building was first occupied in 1925.

Houses

The school originally had four houses; Bronte, Cavell, Curie and Keller, each named after a famous woman in history. Girls were assigned to houses based on their surname in alphabetical order. The school later changed these houses to 3 new houses, named Seacole, Roddam and Austen. Each house has a colour, Seacole (green), Roddam (yellow) and Austen (red) with a house captain from the sixth form assigned to each house. There are many events throughout the year in which the houses compete against each other to win the event, or in individual categories. These include competitions such as House Drama, House Bake Off, House Art/Photography, House Quiz, House Dance, House Board Games, House Charity and House Music, and also includes regular school events such as Sports Day. Students also participate in inter-house sports competitions, based on the half-term's focus. House captains are assigned to each house as well as sport captains; these are typically members of sixth form.

At the end of each academic year there is a house point cup for houses with the highest number of house points. House points are gained by effort and contribution.
