Who we are

Castle School is a specialist provision for children and young people with severe or profound and multiple learning difficulties.

At Castle School, we aim to:

Be a happy, safe, caring environment for all our pupils and staff.
Be a friendly and stimulating environment where learning is fun and interesting.
Provide a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum appropriate to the needs of each child or young person, taught and assessed through individual learning programmes.
Provide relevant opportunities and experiences out of the Academy to help our young people understand being part of a wider community.
Develop the self esteem, self awareness and confidence of each of our pupils.
Work in partnership with parents, carers and other professionals.

If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn."

It was lovely to welcome parents from our Semi-Formal pathway into school last half term, for an Easter-themed stay and play session.

Everyone enjoyed a range of sensory and craft activities.
