New Hall’s ‘Diamond’ Model for Academic Success

New Hall’s rare ‘diamond’ model structure enables boys and girls to be taught separately for five years, until the end of the GCSE courses. Principal, Katherine Jeffrey, said: “From the outset the initiative to educate senior boys and yet to continue the tradition of single-sex teaching met with overwhelming support. The move has enhanced the school in so many ways, with a continuing emphasis on academic excellence.”

New Hall was the first girls’ schools nationally to expand by establishing a Boys’ Division for students aged 11-16, as well as a large co-educational Sixth Form. A decision was taken in 2005 to open the doors of the former girls’ convent school to senior boys. Two boys’ boarding houses have now been successfully established, in addition to the two girls’ houses.

Last week, New Hall students celebrated continued A Level success. 74% of A Level grades were at A*-B and 45% at A*/A grades.
