Principal’s Welcome

You are warmly welcome to Castle Park

An unforgettable positive and enriching education is what your child will experience when they join us at Castle Park.  A highly qualified and well-experienced team provide an outstanding academic curriculum, coupled with specialist teaching in the Arts, PE, IT, Languages, Music and Sport.  A 25-metre pool, a full-sized modern sports hall and an Astro pitch complement the array of world-class facilities on offer.

Caring for the social and emotional aspects of education is highly important to us.  We commit to a positive and nurturing environment in line with what you would expect of a fee-paying independent education.  Our ethos of personal development is based on our founding motto “mens sana in corpore sano” (a sound mind in a healthy body), a motto which is still as relevant today as it was when it was first adopted back in 1904 when the School was founded.

Supplementing our academic and pastoral programme is an extensive daily programme of extra-curricular hobbies ranging from chess to swimming, basketball to sewing, and animation to junior gourmet.  In addition, we have a wonderful library and Learning Resource Centre that enhance opportunities to develop individual and collaborative learning skills.

I look forward to taking you on a personal tour of our wonderful school, where you will meet our impressive pupils and staff.
