About Castle Mead School

HeadteacherMrs Emma Larkham

Ofsted ratingGood (March 2023) 

Castle Mead School was built in 2014 as a new school for the Castle Mead estate. The school continues to grow in size and when full there will be two classes in each year group with over 400 children on roll. There is a Resource Base providing specialist support for children with a range of complex needs. The school has a strong community feel and staff pride themselves on supporting children to be effective citizens in school and wider society. The school offers an exceptional learning environment, including specialist music and technology rooms, and group learning rooms. The Early Years classes have access to enclosed outdoor play areas that can be used all year round. The school also has extensive grounds and a fantastic outdoor space, which now includes a trim trail. Children grow their own fruit and vegetables and have chickens as part of the school environment.

The school was delighted to be judged Good in all areas by Ofsted in its first inspection in June 2017, and again in March 2023.

“I feel that I am a valued member of the team at Castle Mead and love that there is a real camaraderie."
