"A Warm and Welcoming Community"

We were drawn to Newtown Primary School's commitment to fostering a sense of community and promoting positive relationships between children and staff. Our child has settled in well and enjoys the range of extracurricular activities on offer, including sports and music programs. The Headteacher, Mrs Roberts, is approachable and responsive to our needs as parents.

"Mixed Experience"

We had a mostly positive experience at Newtown Primary School, but there were some inconsistencies in the level of support provided by the staff. Our child enjoyed the school's emphasis on creativity and self-expression, but sometimes felt overwhelmed by the workload. Overall, we were happy with the school's values and community spirit.
