Welcome to Summerfields Primary School

Welcome to our school website; I hope it will give you an insight into the many opportunities that we offer our children whilst also providing lots of helpful information about the school. Summerfields is a relatively small school tucked away in Newport; whilst being just a short walk from the town. The children benefit from fantastic grounds and lots of space!

Everyone here works as part of the Summerfields team and we are extremely proud of the friendly and welcoming feel of the school. We are also proud of the positive and active role the children have in school life and of the partnerships we enjoy with our parent community. We aspire to always "Be the best we can be".

As well as supporting our children to achieve their best academically, at Summerfields Primary School we aim to foster a spirit of belonging and caring for others. We believe it is equally important to help children to flourish as confident and happy young people, ready for life beyond the school gates.

If you would like to see Summerfields Primary in action or have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us; it is always a pleasure to welcome parents and visitors to our school.

Mrs Melanie Gartell, Headteacher

At Summerfields Primary School children come first and every child matters. We are inclusive and recognise that everyone has the right be heard and to be taught in a safe environment. Children and adults should never give up, team work enables us to overcome challenges so that we can all be the best we can be. There are three core values at Summerfields that are easy as ABC for the children to remember.
