A group of students in our Formal Pathway are now accessing @NCEADukes fitness suite once a week. The students demonstrated a fantastic understanding of the safety rules for how to use the equipment. The levels of engagement and enjoyment was brilliant to see!

1/2 Castle School has certainly had a lively few weeks, and from the looks of the photos, it seems the students have thoroughly enjoyed themselves. A big thank you goes out to the committed staff team who, even after a long term, have made the recent weeks particularly special.
