TWELVE Newport schools have had their banding changed in the school rankings for the past year.

The one improvement of note was that of Maesglas Primary and Nursery which was rated as Red in 2018. In the last year the school has leapfrogged the Amber category and now ranks as Yellow.

However, the opposite was true for Malpas Church in Wales Primary School which has fallen into Red from Yellow.
