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.
Amazing school. Absolutely can’t fault it and my child is in year 4. They are always doing activities for parents and children to do. For example: pancake making where a parent got to come in and bake with their children. A cake bake off.
Family quiz nights and family bbqs. They are doing a talent show soon where most children participate in and parents can go and watch. Mr Mansfield attends everything and gets involved if he can. He is an incredible headteacher that always puts the heart of the children first. It’s personally one of the best schools around. You have nothing to worry about your child will make friends no problem. If you are worried raise it with the teacher and they will buddy them up with a friend.

My daughter went there for 7 years (moved to Secondary this year) and she loved every minute! The staff are really caring and look after the ‘whole child,’ not just the educational side of things. They put on lots of family events and activities too, so that’ll help you all settle in.
If you have any concerns, there is a family support member of staff who will help you. Just give the school a ring or pop in.

My children were also home educated before starting there. Started in year 2 a couple of years ago. All in all it has been a very positive experience, despite all my fears. Mr Mansfield runs the school very child-centred, so even if you encounter a problem, you can raise it with them and find a resolution.

Amazing school, Mr Mansfield the head teacher is the best, and knows all the children’s names.
My daughter stated in year 2 and my son is year 6. My daughter has select mutism and autism and I was a bit worried as we went from a small Church of England school to one class per year, to 3 classes per year. But she settled so well the teachers are amazing and I couldn’t have wished for a better class / school. The children are my daughter’s mouth piece and all look out for her. She is now in year 6 and I will be sad she is leaving as she is my “baby” as such.

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!

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.
St. Julians, a district in Newport, Wales, is named after 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.
