"Best School Ever!"

I'm so impressed with the facilities and staff at Castle Primary. My son just loves attending Puddleducks Pre-School and the values they're teaching him are fantastic. We feel so welcome as a family and appreciate the attention to detail in every aspect of the school.

We moved to the area and were unsure about which school to choose, but we're so glad we chose Castle Primary. The staff are amazing and the facilities are top-notch. Our daughter loves attending school and we feel confident that she's getting the best possible education.

"Great School, but could be better"

I have fond memories of my children's time at Castle Primary. The staff are friendly and the facilities are excellent. However, I do think they could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about what's going on in the school.
