Values and Ethos

Castle Primary School

DEVELOPING LEARNING FOR LIFE

At Castle Primary and Nursery School we believe in creating an inclusive culture of learning where all children will be challenged in their thinking, to achieve the best of their abilities and strive to become lifelong learners.

We will empower our children to become respected citizens thus enabling them to make valuable contributions both locally and globally and to contribute to our world’s sustainable future.

This we believe can be done most effectively when all staff, parents and children understand their responsibilities and work together towards the same goals.

Our school publicly supports diversity and actively promotes good personal and community relations. Diversity is recognised as having a positive role to play within the school. Our school opposes all forms of racism, harassment, prejudice and discrimination. Our staff foster a positive atmosphere of mutual respect and trust among pupils from all groups.
