Newland School For Girls, a "Mathematics and Computing College" is a single sex school situated in Kingston upon Hull. On 28 August 2007, the school celebrated its centenary. The School's unofficial song is "The City Of The Light", an old hymn which has been interpreted as an advanced metaphor for the unity needed to bring together a successful school. The school's motto "Ad Lucem" ("to the light"), is in keeping with this theme. The current headmistress of Newland, Angela Martinson, has done much to improve the school, including improving the school canteen, now called "Cafe-Licious", which was named by a pupil at the school.

In 2005, the Hull City Council proposed closing and consolidating Newland School with Hull Trinity House School, but after outcries from both schools, the plan was shelved, and plans for modernising the facilities were begun.[3] In 2009, Newland School was listed as part of a £400m plan to modernize all Hull schools; Newland was said to require "extensive rebuilding work".[4]
