About Castle Newnham School

Welcome to Castle Newnham  proud to be the newest member of the Bedfordshire Schools Trust (BEST), having joined at the start of the 2024/25 academic year.

Castle Newnham is an all-through school where ambition and care for each of our pupils are at the heart of everything we do. Our school is well thought of in the community and both school sites are set relatively close to the centre of Bedford in a pleasant suburb.

The South site, for Nursery to Year 4 children, is situated in a listed Victorian building on Goldington Road. The North site, for Years 5 to Year 11, is located on Polhill Avenue. There is a separate self-contained primary block on this site which houses Years 5 and 6. 

Our CORE values of Community, Opportunity, Respect and Excellence  underpin our work across our whole school and help guide us in serving our children and families.

Being part of BEST also gives us access to a network of schools in a supportive trust. This allows for the sharing of best practice, resources and expertise, enhancing the quality of education and professional development for staff.

Find out more about BEST and the benefits of working for the trust.
