I remember Mrs Evans! She was such a nice lady! I remember the swimming pool out the back was always freezing, but we all used to love it! Chocolate crunch and pink custard for lunch I now make this for my son with fond memories!

I went on to university and then became a Chartered Accountant, I now have my own Accountancy practice with 5 staff and over 300 clients, which is going from strength to strength. I’m a single mum to a beautiful 9 yr old boy who now goes to St Julians Primary School, which he loves! I’m still very close friends with some of the children I went to the primary school with!

I remember Mr Davies (all the mums fancied him!), Mrs Tamplin, Mrs Evans (now lives near me). I remember playing on ‘top yard’ – red rover game. I remember arguing with my teacher that she had spelt my brother’s name wrong for ages… (turned out she was correct)!

I’ve spent the last 20 years working in the passport office, been promoted four times. Love my job, dealing with fraud and overseas applications. Happily married with three children, aged 17, 12 and 6.

I will always remember French cricket with Mrs Coombs. This was the highlight of our week!

I am now a primary school teacher in Newport with two lovely boys, who now attend St. Julian’s Primary.

Being beaten up lots, but also making some amazing friends!

I went on to achieve a HND in Maritime studies at Falmouth and completed an interior design course at Nash college. Now, I have my own sign writing company.

I remember lovely teachers, PC Hopkins’ talks, Mr Drewitt, the summer spectacular where my dad always used to run the ‘soak a teacher’ stall!

I went on to Caerleon Comprehensive, then studied animal management in Usk college, worked at Summerhill Vets. Now currently working as a senior travel money advisor/trainer for a bank.

I am pleased to say that I have only fond memories of St Julian’s, many influenced by teachers and their love for singing and arts and crafts. My teachers were Mrs Evans (Year 3), Mrs Hollings (Year 4 and 6) and Mr Davies (Year 5). It was at St Julian’s that I found my love for singing. I was encouraged to join the local Gwent youth choir and perform with friends across Newport and even putting in a performance at The Royal Albert Hall as part of their Youth Proms. Singing is a hobby that I continue this day as a member of Allegra Ladies Choir with which I am able to perform for audiences at venues such as The Celtic Manor and later this year at Cardiff Arms Park. During my time at St Julian’s I recall my favourite lessons being art with Mrs Lewis. To this day, I still have a number of pieces I created, including a coal sketch of my boot, a painting of a Māori tribal mask; as well as a 2D Welsh lady which for many years held pride of place on our fridge.

After receiving AEN support myself during primary school and then later going back to St Julian’s Primary for work experience during 6th form for work experience; I found a love for teaching and supporting pupils who may need that extra support to reach their full potential. I went on to study for my ‘CACHE Supporting Teaching and Learning Level 3’ which I passed in July 2017. Without the support of St Julian’s Primary (that took me on again so that I could complete the work placement section of the course) I would not have qualified and gone on to register with a local teaching recruitment agency which in turn has enabled my to work in a number of schools in Newport. I love my job and at is all thanks to St Julian’s Primary.

I remember being part of the Welsh dance group both in the infants and with Mr Carter in years 5 & 6. I remember flapjacks being sold at break time for 20p.

After A levels I did a gap year to look for work, then went on a Foundation Diploma course in Art, Media and Design. Went into a BA Hons course for photographic art with UWN, Caerleon. Only did one year and dropped out. Took another gap year and went into a Foundation Degree in Photography with Coleg Gwent. I’m currently considering topping up to a BA Hons in September.

I have also tried setting up my own photography business and am a regular Welsh Dancer with Gwerinwyr Gwent who also run the Gwyl Plant which I was a part in while in school.

I have very fond memories of extra curriculum activities such as netball, swimming, Eisteddfods and my end of year 6 production of “Joseph and the technicolored dreamcoat”.

After graduating from university last summer, I began working as a Teaching Assistant in St Julian’s Primary School. In September I will be starting my Primary PGCE to become a qualified teacher! (I am very grateful for the school’s support as both a pupil and an employee).

I remember Mrs Tamplin, Mrs Christopher and Mrs Morgan. Fantastic teachers! The freezing cold outdoor pool and playing netball. I remember Mr Davies helping us make pottery.

I went on to gain a Law Degree, Postgraduate Diploma in Law and qualified as a Solicitor.
