Newent Community School and Sixth Form Centre was converted to an academy in September 2012. The layout of the school is dominated by the spacious Main Hall, which is equipped with stage lighting and a sound system. There is a continuous programme of refurbishment and improvement to ensure up-to-date facilities in specialist areas.

Ofsted report
“The good sixth form prepares students well for their futures. Many students leave to study at very good universities, while others take up apprenticeships. Teaching is mainly good with some that is outstanding, especially in art and drama. Relationships between staff and students are excellent and the behaviour around school and in lessons is good. Students say they feel safe and well cared for. The school responds well to relevant issues regarding the personal safety of students as a focus for assemblies and lessons.”
