"Castle school cambridge"

I attend this school it is a wonderful and kind environment to have your children in. The school has a nursery from ages of 3 to 5 year olds and also have a lovely sixth form. I'm currently in year 11 and my time at castle school has been nothing but awesome. Everyday at castle school is a good day and the teachers and teaching assistants are really understanding and helpful and will listen to you no matter what.

"Room for Improvement"

We've been at Castle School for a couple of years now, and while it's a lovely community, we've experienced some inconsistencies in the quality of teaching and support. That said, the values of the school are excellent, and the staff are generally very supportive. With a bit more consistency and attention to detail, I'd be happy to give it 5 stars.

"A School That Truly Cares"

My daughter attended Castle School from reception to year 6, and we couldn't be more grateful for the experience. The values of confidence, kindness and creativity are truly embedded in the school's ethos, and I've seen her grow into a confident, empathetic and creative young person. The staff are dedicated and passionate, and the facilities are fantastic.
