Red 3 had a great outing to Alnwick Castle, following their history focus on castles. They followed "The Dragon's Quest", watched a performance and then explored the inside of the castle and outside grounds, including the cannons and the ramparts.
We have had some great Rebound Therapy sessions this half term! It is wonderful to see our pupils growing in confidence and making progress.
Blue 1 have visited the Alan Shearer Centre every Tuesday morning. They have enjoyed exploring the sensory rooms and playing in the park outside when the weather has been dry.
Our pupils in Green 2 have thoroughly enjoyed taking their learning out into the local community this half term. We’ve had the pleasure of visiting local garden centres, shops, taking walks in the park, and even making a trip to Starbucks.
We would be grateful if you could choose to support Castle School through Cashpot for Kids on the Asda Rewards App. Thank you
Well done students at Duke's Secondary!
