Newport High School was originally sited at Queens Hill near the centre of Newport. In 1967 a competition was held for architects to design a new school to be constructed on a large site at Bettws, outside the town. The winning design, from 165 entries, was built in 1972 only to be demolished in 2009 after a new school was built on the site.
This photo comes from a report in the Design magazine, no. 292, April 1973. See the links below to more photographs and the full text.
Design magazine photo description:
School from the south, showing classrooms and stepped section. The architects appear to have been inspired by the monolithic terraced housing in many Welsh towns.
