After the <a href="/wiki/Education_Act_1944" title="Education Act 1944">Education Act 1944</a>, Newtown had three secondary schools: a Grammar School, in the former County Intermediate School opposite the railway station; a Secondary Modern School which had taken over much of Penygloddfa Primary School, and a County Technical School which had moved from old buildings in Penygloddfa into the army huts along Dolfor Road.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was this site that was chosen for Newtown High School, which opened in 1957 as a comprehensive school, replacing the existing grammar schools. It became co-educational in 1964. </p><p>The school expanded over time, with additional buildings added in its first fifty years of use. This included the Art/Welsh block, Girls' Gym, Humanities (formerly English) block, Music (formerly History) block, Canolfan Cyfle (formerly Biology) block, Home Economics block, Sixth Form block and the Technology block. Work was undertaken in the late 1990s to add disabled access to many of the first floor areas, with lifts and ramps. An outdoor classroom/canopy was installed in 2015 on the site of the old demountable buildings. Further lifts and improved disabled access were installed in 2016. </p><p>The school also managed <a href="/wiki/John_Beddoes_School" title="John Beddoes School">John Beddoes School</a> in Presteigne in 2013/14, and on 10 April 2014, John Beddoes School was closed, and reopened as a campus of Newtown High School,<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> named the John Beddoes Campus. The Newtown site became the Newtown Campus of Newtown High School.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In April 2014, the school was expanded to a two-site model, as it incorporated John Beddoes School in Presteigne. The school now consists of the 'Newtown Campus' and 'John Beddoes Campus' of Newtown High School. </p><p>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. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Performance">Performance</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Newtown_High_School,_Powys&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Performance"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>With the combination of the two campuses, there are approximately 1100 pupils on roll.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The school reached Band 1 in the Welsh Government banding system in 2012,<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and reached band 3 in 2013.
