Welcome to Our Website

Duffryn High School has been proud to

serve both the local and wider

community of Newport for over forty

years.The school first opened way

back in 1958 and since that time it

has grown considerably and expanded

in both buildings and specialist facilities

as well as student numbers.

Over the years students from Duffryn

High School have gone on to achieve

both national and international success

in careers such as Olympic medal

winning sport, consultancy in major

London hospitals, successful actors

for stage and television, teaching in

international schools and leading

highly successful businesses across

Europe. We pride ourselves on

being a culturally rich high school with

close links and well established

partnerships not only in Newport but

also internationally.

The scheme is proving a great success

with much more choice of meal options

and new canteen facilities. More and

more students are opting for our lunch

and break time menus and we even

have a thriving breakfast club. The Art

department have done a splendid job

in creating a mural to enhance the

newly decorated canteen in Building 1

and school dinners have never looked

or tasted so good!



Eco Award

As we all grow increasingly conscious

of the need to be global citizens the

Student Council and committed staff

team have joined the international ‘eco-

schools’ scheme and we are now

entering for an award to acknowledge

the growing body of work we do to raise

awareness of global issues to increase

recycling and to develop a more

environmentally friendly school

environment. If you can offer any help,

support or sponsorship let us know.
