There’s no place like St. Andrew’s!

We truly believe that there’s no place at St. Andrew’s!

St. Andrew’s prides itself on being at the heart of its community; situated on the eastern side of Newport it is a large primary school (capacity for 740 pupils) that serves an area that is socially disadvantaged. At St. Andrew’s, one strength is the positive ethos and team spirit; we believe that diversity is a strength, to be respected and celebrated by all those who learn, teach and visit here. St. Andrew’s Primary School’s ethos and high‑quality inclusion for pupils with ALN are a significant strength of the school.
