"Some positives, but room for improvement"

We've been pleased with the progress of our child at Castlefell School, but there are some areas that need improvement. The facilities are good, but sometimes the communication with parents can be a bit patchy. Overall, it's a decent school, but not outstanding.

"A life-changing experience"

My son attended Castlefell School for 3 years and it completely transformed his life. The school's approach to SEN education is truly innovative and the staff are experts in their field. We're so grateful for the opportunities he had there.
