THE HARDEST primary schools to get a place at in Newport have been revealed as parents across the city this week found out where their children will be taught come September.
Newport city council has released data from its application process, showing the number of children who have been refused places.
A total of 172 applications were refused, however this does not mean children have been left without places – just that their preferred choice has not been granted.
These are the most oversubscribed primary schools in Newport.
