Highlights from Latest Inspection

Gaer Primary School is on the west side of the city of Newport. It opened in 2014 following the amalgamation of the infant and junior schools.

The school has 459 pupils between the ages of 3 and 11, including 63 part-time pupils in the nursery. There are 17 classes, including a resource base class in key stage 2 for pupils with a range of speech, behavioural and general learning difficulties. The average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals over the last three years is around 20%.

This is close to the national average of 19%. A few pupils are from a minority ethnic background. The school has identified 32% of its pupils as having additional learning needs, which is well above the national average of 21%, but... this includes the pupils in the resource base class.

A very few pupils have a statement of special educational needs. The headteacher took up his post in September 2014. This is the school's first inspection.
