About Us

What We Do

The Castle School Education Trust (CSET) began in March 2013, when The Castle School converted to an Academy. Since then, several schools have joined the group and CSET now also includes Marlwood, Downend and Mangotsfield secondary schools as well as Charfield, Severn Beach and Lyde Green primary schools.

Each of the schools has its own unique identity within the values and ethos of CSET. The Headteachers are genuinely the Headteacher of their own school and are responsible for the school and accountable for outcomes. Being part of a group of schools brings with it robust challenge and support as well as opportunities to share provision and central costs.

Our aim is to provide quality education in a caring environment. We have a deep rooted and continued commitment to inclusive education and a 'rounded' education. Our curriculum promotes achievement for all and excellent outcomes for the students. 

We share a strong belief that working collaboratively and in partnership with others strengthens all, sharing a collective responsibility for the success of children in our community.
