We are proud of our pupils and the inclusive primary education we provide.

Our new school motto is ‘Thrive & Learn’. This simply states two of our aims: to ensure all our children thrive and learn every day.

We focus on our three School Values (below) – these were chosen following discussions with children, parents, staff and governors.

• Value Ourselves
• Value Learning 
• Value Others

Our school site has expanded in recent years and we continue to develop it to support learning across the curriculum. At the beginning of 2019, we ‘moved in’ to our new modern building with four classrooms and a second school hall. We now have the capacity to grow to a two-form entry school in the future.

We joined The Bath & Mendip Partnership Trust in July 2019 and became part of their family of primary and special schools working in partnership to improve all children’s education.

‘It takes families and schools, working together, to educate children properly.’

‘Thrive & Learn’

Our Vision

Our vision is to be the very best school for our community, where children thrive and learn. We will do this by putting our pupils at the centre of all we do and by investing in our staff, our curriculum and the school environment to offer the best possible primary school experience.

We aim to achieve this by:

• Having high expectations of all children in their learning
• Promoting self-esteem, self-efficacy and self-regulation in every child
• Promoting high standards of behaviour (Castle Behaviour) & the school values
• Placing a strong focus on attendance and punctuality
• Developing children’s vocabulary & communication skills
• Instilling a love of Reading alongside fluency and comprehension
• Offering a broad curriculum, within and beyond the classroom, which equips children with the knowledge, skills and understanding to succeed in the world (cultural capital)
• Ensure that our pupils are educated about the causes of climate change and actions required to address this
• Enabling healthy lifestyles (including physical, mental and emotional well-being, exercise and sport, balanced diet, positive relationships, appropriate use of technology/e-safety)
• Celebrating diversity and valuing difference within the context of fundamental British values
• Providing opportunities for supportive parental partnerships & involvement

Our School Values

At Castle School, we focus on three values. We…

Value Learning

• by using our mistakes to learn
• by rising to challenges
• by learning about climate change and action we can take

Value Others

• by showing we care
• by valuing difference
• by caring for our planet for future generations

Value Ourselves

• by looking after ourselves (including on the internet)
• by taking responsibility for our behaviour
• by taking action to reduce our impact on the natural world
