FAQs
What is an inset day in Newport schools?
An inset day is a teacher training day where pupils do not attend. Each school decides its own dates – contact your school directly.
Are training days the same as school holidays?
No – inset days are not holidays. Schools are closed for staff training, not for a public or seasonal break.
Where can I find a printable Newport school calendar?
Newport Council website has PDFs. We also recommend saving this page or printing the tables above.
Do Newport schools follow the same term dates as Cardiff?
Not always – nearby local authorities can differ. Always check “Newport school holidays” not just “Wales term dates.”
