At the end of last half term, students from our Formal Pathway shared some Christmas stories with students in our Pre-Formal Pathway. The readers were a bit nervous to begin with but then felt able to read with fantastic expression, there were some fantastic shared interactions.
Welcome all staff and students! Are we all ready to take on this year with determination and positivity? We can't wait to see what amazing things everybody achieves this term.

A big thank you to Bay Uke for bringing the festive cheer to Castle School this week.
It was wonderful to listen and sing along with the Christmas Songs. Both pupils and staff truly enjoyed getting into the Christmas spirit.🎄
This week, the Pre-Formal Pathway pupils had a wonderful time wrapping up the term with a visit to Santa in his grotto. During the trip, they explored various sensory spaces and received a special gift from Santa himself. The experience was thoroughly enjoyed by all the pupils!🎄
