Welcome to Newport Primary School, we are a busy and friendly school, with lots going on. We aim to give you a taster of the school, as well as providing up to date information for parents, children and the wider community. My name is Miss Wareham and I have the privilege of being the Headteacher here.
Newport Primary School seeks to serve the children in our community, recognising that we are all unique individuals. We want all to flourish and to foster a lifelong love of learning; by providing a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum that allows the children to live out our values 'we are kind, we are resilient, we can communicate, we are creative'.
