St Julian's Primary School pupils amazed at creativity

Two boys from St Julian's Primary School, located on Beaufort Road in Newport, were amazed at the creativity of the children at a partner school in Uganda, central Africa.

Mr Mansfield added, "so much of the work we had been doing with our Ugandan partner school really helped our children" to develop them as ethical and informed citizens, ready to be citizens of Wales and the world'.
