Our goal at Castle Court school is to provide an outstanding day education for boys and girls aged 3 to 13. We want our children to achieve the very best academic results of which they are capable and to discover all their talents, whatever they may be.
We want our children to feel cared for and valued and, in turn, to care for and value others. Our values are Christian values: these underpin everything we do. We want all the children here to feel really good about themselves because we know that happy, confident children will both do the best they can, and be the best they can.
The aim of these pages is to give you an holistic view of life with us.
