About us
Welcome to Castlefield School. We are a large, vibrant, primary school offering high quality educational experiences to children aged between 2 and 11 years old. The pupils, staff and Governors are all very proud to be part of this highly successful school which sits at the heart of its local community.
Keeping the children at the centre of everything we do, we have undertaken many exciting changes over the past few years. These changes have significantly improved standards; ensuring all children make accelerated progress, leaving at the end of Year 6, in line with or above the National expectation and ready for their journey into the future.
As well as providing a high quality education and a wide range of stimulating and exciting opportunities, we also have high expectations in non-academic and extra-curricular areas. This ensures that each and every child can be a success and fulfil their potential.
The school welcomes applications from all communities, including those from BAME backgrounds, and would actively encourage all appropriately qualified candidates to apply - without hesitation.
