Jo Giles, headteacher of St Andrew’s Primary School, said: “We have made sure that the surroundings are familiar to the children by transferring furniture, equipment and materials to their new home.
“I’m so proud of my staff, children and all those who have helped to make sure the transition was as smooth as possible.
“Obviously we hoped to be back on the St Andrew’s site as soon as possible but we recognise that safety is the priority. We are grateful to Newport Live for allowing us to occupy the Connect Centre as it meets our requirements, keeps the key stage two children together and means their education can continue uninterrupted for the next two years.”
