Castle View Academy, located in the north of Portsmouth, is a rapidly expanding non-selective secondary school serving pupils aged 11-16. We are proud of the education and training we provide to both pupils and staff in our purpose-built facilities. Excellence lies at the heart of everything we do, and we are eager to welcome like-minded colleagues who share this vision.

We believe in respect, ambition, and determination, values we aim to instil in our pupils through the example set by our staff.

One of the five principles of United Learning’s approach to running excellent schools is the development of Education with Character. Just as we want pupils to leave us with excellent qualifications, we also want them to become confident, ambitious young adults with a strong understanding of the world around them.

Alongside our unwavering focus on standards and academic excellence, we recognise that pupils benefit from a broad range of opportunities and experiences. We therefore offer a wide variety of activities and opportunities designed to broaden horizons, develop life skills, and help pupils grow into well-rounded, resilient young people. 

The academy is part of United Learning’s cluster in Paulsgrove, working closely with neighbouring schools Beacon View Academy and The Victory Primary School. This collaboration allows us to share expertise, access to joint services, and enrich the educational experience for all.

Our staff are happy, dedicated, and hardworking. We offer bespoke CPD programs tailored for PGCEs, NQTs, Teach First, School Direct and qualified staff, and actively encourage engagement with a wide range of CPD opportunities available through United Learning.

Castle View Academy is conveniently located with excellent access to public transport and local amenities. We offer high-quality facilities including fully equipped science labs, creative arts spaces, and technology-enhanced learning environments. Staff also benefit from comfortable workspace and on-site amenities.

Built in 2018, the academy’s modern facilities provide an inspiring environment for teaching and learning, supporting high-quality provision across the arts, sport, technology and performance.

The school is within easy reach of the vibrant university city of Portsmouth, with its Historic Dockyard, ferry ports and Royal Naval Base, as well as excellent rail links to London and easy access to the Isle of Wight & France.
