Community
As one of the oldest and well-known schools in the area, Rougemont School is proud of its links to the wider local community and the work it carries out as part of our responsibility to share good practice with other local schools and engage with businesses, groups and charities. Our strategic partners are key to how Rougemont School develops and grows for the future, not just for the benefit of our pupils, parents and alumni, but also for the wider local community. At Rougemont School, we invite you to join our growing community, whether you are an alumnus or a local business.
Alumni
Every pupil that passes through the gates at Rougemont becomes a special part of the school for the rest of their lives. Since its establishment at Clevedon Road in Newport in 1925 then into the Prep School at Nant Coch and the Senior School created at Stow Hill, the rich heritage of Rougemont continues to grow at its current site at Llantarnam Hall on Malpas Road.
At Rougemont School we feel very proud of the School’s history and of the achievements of our alumni. We consider our alumni to still be members of the school community and we are working to engage with and grow a living network of friends of the school.
Our Alumni form the foundation of what makes Rougemont an outstanding school today.
Our Alumni also serve as ambassadors of the School and their experiences and achievements become perfect examples of leadership, academic achievement, personal fulfilment and happiness to our current pupils who rely on the examples set by those who have gone before them.
As we head into a new chapter at Rougemont, our Alumni become an even more important part of the Rougemont story and we endeavour to hold more events to bring our alumni together over the next couple of years.
Our chief focus is upon the present and the future, ensuring the school gives the best possible opportunities to the young people of today.
The tangible help of the living network of Rougemont Alumni makes a very significant contribution towards the future of the School.
We always enjoy hearing about the successes of Rougemont Alumni. If you have any news you would like to share, please do let us know.
Similarly, If you are able to support the School in anyway, be it speaking at a careers convention, becoming a professional mentor to one or more of the sixth form students, please do contact us. We also have fundraising opportunities, be it contributing towards the school’s development programme, or in funding or part-funding a scholarship or bursary.

Friends of Rougemont
Friends of Rougemont exists to bring our Rougemont community together. Our School is often described as a one big family and we hope Friends of Rougemont continues to embody this ethos.
We define our friends as our pupils, parents, staff, alumni, governors, suppliers and supporters. Through a variety of events – both social and fundraising, we endeavour to bring our community together and embrace the values which make Rougemont such a special place.
Our preloved uniform shop will continue to operate under the umbrella of Friends of Rougemont with its main objectives as (1) raising funds for our School and (2) providing parents with a high quality, eco-friendly alternative to purchasing brand new uniform. Please see the Uniform Price List 2023.
