Thank you for your interest in our advertised vacancies.

On behalf of the children, staff, and governors of the school I would like to extend a very warm welcome to you. Our school is situated in the small village of Castleside on the outskirts of Consett, an area with a rich historical heritage. We're in a stunning location - with far stretching views of the moors, while still in easy reach of major towns and cities. 

At Castleside Primary we pride ourselves in being a vibrant learning community where individuals are valued and achievement in its widest sense is celebrated. As the African proverb says, 'it takes a village to raise to a child' and we are supported by the strong relationships we have with the Trust, our parents, families and the local community - they support us to develop confident, resilient and ambitious children - ready to take the next steps on their learning journey.

We believe that learning should be enjoyable and believe that fun is an essential part of life at Castleside Primary. We want our pupils to leave with very happy memories of their time here, having achieved success and feeling motivated and enthusiastic about their future.

Castleside Primary is a special place - but don't just take my word for it. Come and see for yourself and feel the magic in this wonderful little school. We may be small, but we are mighty -  and from small seeds, great things grow!

I would be delighted to show you around and talk to you about our ambitious vision.....and who knows, you could be part of our future developments!
