Welcome to Castle Primary School and Nursery

Castle Primary School is member of The Learning Partnership, a new multi-academy trust that was formed on 1st September 2023 as a merger between The Learning Alliance and The Learning for Life Partnership. The trust consists of fifteen schools, nine of which are primary schools and six are secondary schools, all based across east Cheshire and North Staffordshire.

Our CEO is Mr D Thomas.

The trust believes in allowing each school to retain its distinctive and successful ethos whilst also being able to support the ambition of individual schools, help children to reach their potential and benefit from the greater resources that partnership within the trust brings.

Our Vision

Our vision is to transform education, delivering teaching and learning which fully equips all our young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to become positive, engaged, successful members of society.

Our Values

PEOPLE - PASSION - PERFORMANCE

To build an educational organisation staffed with the exceptional people, driven by a passion for education which inspires and motivates staff, pupils, and communities to strive together to be their best, and in so doing enables the trust, its schools, and its pupils, to perform to their best.

By working together and sharing all of our expertise it is envisaged that our family of schools will continue to grow and develop providing exceptional learning opportunities for all of our pupils. Castle Primary School is a feeder for Congleton High School.

As Head Teacher I am extremely proud to be leading Castle Primary School through these exciting changes supported by hardworking and committed staff. Our school offers children high quality learning experiences in a semi-rural setting, encouraging them to develop new skills and knowledge both in the classroom and the outdoors. We are also adept at offering all our children opportunities within performing arts, producing concerts throughout the year.

Our school has continued to grow over the last year whilst maintaining the values and community feeling of a small school. We enjoy good success with our results at both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Our Early Years children also achieved a good level of development. Our recent Ofsted Inspection in June 2023 graded us as 'Good'.

Children attend residential visits to various local centres and all ages are also able to participate in numerous after school activities. We operate a Before and After School Club run by school staff.

Our school is adept at supporting children with special educational needs and parents wishing to discuss the needs of their child should contact our SENDCO Miss J Mason who is also our Mental Health lead on 01782 433218 or email jillmason@castleprimary.co.uk.

Our Nursery has a curriculum that covers all aspects of learning through play to encourage physical, intellectual, emotional, social and language development. Our qualified staff are well trained and have many years of experience in childcare. We have staff trained in developing physical skills to our youngest pupils.

Our lessons are taught by subject specialists throughout each day. After each session the children are actively engaged in moving to another classroom with a different member of staff. 

We are able to offer our children Forest School sessions on site which take place all year round. 

Please contact the school on 01782 433218 if you would like to arrange a visit to look round.
