Newtown High School, Powys

Work was undertaken in the late 1990s to add disabled access to many of the first floor areas, with lifts and ramps.

A revised school logo and new motto ('Perthyn Credu Llwydo', meaning 'Belong Believe Achieve') was introduced in September 2017.

The school ethos of CYFLE (meaning 'Opportunity', and standing for 'Caring Yields a Flourishing Learning Environment') remains in place.

In February 2018 the school was placed in Special Measures after an Estyn inspection raised a number of concerns with results and pupils' attendance.

On Friday, September 18 2020, the school went into lockdown after threats of a shooting were posted on social media.

Further panic was set by social media users claiming there was a man with a firearm outside the school.
