About Us

Bethabara Infant School has been a cornerstone of early childhood education in Newport, Manchester for over 130 years, proudly serving our community since 1893. Nestled in the heart of Manchester Parish, our school has remained steadfast in its commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where young minds flourish through the joy of discovery. Guided by our cherished motto "Play and Learn," we believe that children learn best when education feels like exploration and wonder. Our dedicated team of educators creates engaging, play-based learning experiences that build strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, creativity, and essential social skills. We understand that each child is unique, and our inclusive approach ensures that every student receives the individual attention they deserve to reach their full potential. Through our meaningful partnership with the Digicel Foundation, we've established a state-of-the-art sensory room and inclusive learning space that supports children with diverse learning needs. This commitment to accessibility and inclusion reflects our core belief that quality early education should be available to every child in our community. At Bethabara Infant School, we take pride in fostering strong partnerships between families, teachers, and the broader Newport community. Our programmes are designed to nurture confident, curious, and capable learners who are well-prepared for their next educational adventure, carrying with them the strong values and love of learning that define our school's legacy.
