About Us

Welcome to St. Julian’s Primary School

St. Julian’s Primary School is a community primary school situated in the north east of the city of Newport.

The school opened in 2009, following the amalgamation of the infant and junior schools, which had been established in 1952. A purpose built nursery was constructed in the grounds in the 1970s. The school has a large site with a playing field, four playgrounds and a sports-cage. The school is one of the largest primary schools in Newport, with over 650 pupils on roll, from a socially diverse catchment area. Mr Mansfield, the Headteacher, leads a team of hard-working and dedicated staff who go above and beyond to help our learners succeed.

Due to the recognised good practice at the school, we host a range of workshops and development programmes for staff and teachers across the region on behalf of the Education Achievement Service. We are also a Welsh Government Professional Learning Pioneer School and Digital Pioneer School, and have played a key role in developing the new curriculum for schools in Wales.

What the Parents Say…

My son seems to have enjoyed his time at St. Julian’s school and I’m very happy with all the help he has received. He has become a lot happier and much more confident in himself. I’m very grateful to the school for everything they have done with my son.

Mrs Wilde

Parent of KS2 Pupil

Everything is good! Our child feels happy at the school. He has so many friends there as well.

Mrs Wu

Parent of pupil in KS2

My son has just moved to this school and I could not be happier with how welcome my he has been made to feel. I’m so impressed with the running of the school. Such great things happening for the children. So glad he is now a part of that. Many thanks!

Mrs Wigmore

Parent of pupil in KS2

I would like to comment on how supportive and encouraging the staff are. My daughter has excelled since September and wakes up every morning excited to go to school; which, for me is very reassuring. I am in no doubt that this will be the same throughout the school, which I will come to find as my daughters move classes. Thank you.

Mrs Garea Jennings

Fantastic School with fantastic teachers and head teacher. My daughter had her last day today and is going to High school in September. She will miss everyone so much! My little boy is going into year 2, so we will still have the pleasure of seeing all the lovely staff for many years to come!

Fantastic school! My son’s Christmas concert was yesterday and it was well presented, really enjoyed! Well done to all staff.

Mr Broom

Parent of FP and KS2 pupils

We were very impressed how much our children achieved since starting at St. Julian’s. My son’s development is significantly higher, they are enjoying school, learning much more, and have built solid friendships. We feel the school, staff, and environment are responsible for this.

Mrs Mullins

Parent of pupil in KS2

We couldn’t have asked for a better start to school for our daughter. She has thoroughly enjoyed her reception class, loves her teacher and has made huge progress particularly in her reading.

History of The St. Julian’s Area

St. Julians, a district in Newport, Wales, derives its name from Saint Julius of Caerleon, a Roman-era martyr. Historically, the area was notable for St. Julian’s House, established in 1480 by Sir George Herbert on the site of a former chapel dedicated to Saint Julius. This mansion remained with the Herbert family until the early 18th century and underwent various transformations before its demolition in 1980. Today, the legacy of the Herberts persists in local street names; the inter-war estate streets are named after members of the Firbank family, who owned the land from 1869 to 1926, while the post-war St. Julian’s estate features roads named after famous painters.
