Welcome to Castor Church of England Primary School
We’re so pleased to welcome you to Castor Church of England Primary School—a place where every child is celebrated, nurtured, and encouraged to let their light shine. Our school is more than just a place of learning; it’s a close-knit family made up of dedicated staff, enthusiastic children, supportive parents, committed governors, and a wider community that truly cares.
At Castor, we believe every child is an individual with their own strengths, interests, and dreams. Our aim is to provide the very best education for all, ensuring each child feels valued, inspired, and supported to reach their full potential.
We’re proud to offer Forest School sessions that allow children to explore, play, and learn in the great outdoors. These experiences build confidence, resilience, and a deep connection with nature—something our children carry with them throughout their time at Castor.
From Key Stage 1, children begin learning languages, opening doors to new cultures and perspectives. Our curriculum is enriched with exciting trips and visits that bring learning to life, spark curiosity, and create unforgettable memories.
We offer a wide range of extracurricular clubs—from sports and music to art and drama—so every child can discover and develop their passions. Our wraparound care provides a safe, welcoming space before and after school, supporting busy families and ensuring children feel happy and secure throughout the day.
Our Christian ethos is woven into everything we do, with strong links to St. Kyneburgha’s Church and traditions like May Day dancing and Easter egg rolling that bring our community together in joyful celebration. We instil values of respect, empathy, and kindness, helping children grow into thoughtful, caring individuals.
We pride ourselves on our open-door policy and strong communication with families. Parents are always welcome, and we love sharing your child’s progress and achievements every step of the way. Whether it’s through workshops, events, or everyday conversations, we value your partnership and believe that together, we can achieve great things.
While our website offers a glimpse into life at Castor, nothing beats seeing it for yourself. We warmly invite you to visit us for a personalised tour—just contact our office to arrange a time.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family into our Castor community.
Warm wishes,
Suzie Phillips
Headteacher, Castor Church of England Primary School
