Welcome to Castor Church of England Primary School

Welcome to Castor Church of England Primary School! We are delighted to welcome you into our warm and inclusive school community, where we are committed to providing outstanding education and supporting every child in reaching their full potential.

At Castor, our vision 'let your light shine' underpins our ethos of celebrating individual achievements and creating a nurturing environment for all our students.
Nestled at the heart of our community, Castor School embodies a distinct Christian character and benefits from close ties with St. Kyneburgha's Church, fostering a learning environment grounded in Christian values.

With a rich tapestry of traditions and a strong sense of kinship, Castor School prides itself on its 'family' feel. Events such as May Day dancing and Easter egg rolling are cherished occasions that bring the entire school community together, forging lasting memories.
We are dedicated to offering engaging and purposeful learning experiences that extend beyond the curriculum. Reading is at the core of our educational approach, and we encourage a love for reading as a life-enhancing skill, seeking active involvement from families in this endeavour.

Our commitment to holistic learning is exemplified through a diverse array of extracurricular clubs and activities that complement classroom learning, aiming to nurture independent and inquisitive learners at Castor.

Central to our mission is instilling positive values of respect, empathy, and kindness in our students towards themselves and others, fostering a culture of inclusivity and understanding.

We take immense pride in the strong partnerships we cultivate between home and school, recognising the integral role families play in the educational journey of our children. We invite parents to actively engage in school events and workshops, fostering collaboration and shared success.

While our website provides a snapshot of the educational experience at Castor, we extend a warm invitation for you and your children to immerse yourselves in our school environment through a personalised tour. To arrange a visit, please contact our office.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family to Castor Church of England Primary School.

Kindest regards,
Mrs S Phillips
