"Food cuisine"

I am FUMING at the food options within this school. They have tried a 'healthy' approach and its just ridiculous. I'm not eating that!!!!! The food is inhuman like and I would not recommend this to anyone!! Not even a homeless person. This has me raging as I am left hungry throughout the day. When i go home I'm snacking on everything in my fridge because of this.

"It is ok I guess"

I don’t understand why students are not allowed to wear plain black leggings.My daughter suffers terribly with her confidence and when I asked if she could wear leggings for it I got told no.I also too don’t understand as why badly behaved brutes are in my daughters set 1 and 2 classes.They distract her from her learning and make it hard to concentrate.They should be in the bottom sets or the bungalows as what my daughter as has told.I also do not understand the jewellery concern ,it is not a distraction from learning and it will never get lost or stolen as my daughter will always be wearing it.Now these detentions are ridiculous,my daughter got an hour detention for being exactly 2 minutes late.She was in the school but not in the assembly hall so since apparently assembly is a lesson to them she was late to a lesson so she got a detention.Sort this out as pardon my French but it is fucking ridiculous! Lots of love Susan 💋 xxx

"Thank you to everyone at castle view "

I believe this school is amazing the teachers are nice and you always get to have a good laugh with them. Even tho there is some strict rules i understand that they are there to help each and every one of us. The school has helped me so much with my behaviour and how I see things. This is just a big thanks to castle view.

"Highly Recommend "

For the 5 years i went to CastleView i grew so much as a person. I had countless opportunities which everyone was encouraged to join in. The teachers all wanted the best for every student and always put in so many extra hours, if you invest in the schools programmes you are destined for success. All my friends came out with amazing grades, my lowest being an A. I highly recommend CastleView to any student as there’s no other school which has teaching staff like it, they’ll support your child through academic life aswell as whatever’s going on at home, I highly recommend.
