Newcastle-under-Lyme School is an independent school in the town of Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire, England. It is the product of an amalgamation between the old Newcastle High School (formed 1874)[1] and the Orme Girls' School (formed 1876).[1] Today, the school consists of a nursery, a preparatory department, the senior school and the sixth form. It takes both boys and girls from 3-18 and provides them with a high level of education. The sixth form is known for its performance at A-level.

It is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC), an association of the head teachers of the leading day and boarding independent schools in the United Kingdom. Membership of the HMC is often considered as what defines a school as a public school in England or Wales, placing it amongst the more prestigious private schools. Some years ago, it was one of the top performing schools in England in terms of A-level results.[2]
