Here at The Castle School, situated in the leafy suburbs of Thornbury, we are proud of our strong track record of academic achievement and pastoral care for our students. We are passionate about teaching and learning; our students' experience of education has a long-lasting impact and prepares them for life beyond school.

At the heart of what we do is our vision to be an exceptional school at the heart of the community where every student has the curiosity, skills and confidence to make the world a better place. We value kindness, fairness and aspiration for all, and expect that our students and staff will work hard, will be kind and will be respectful to one another.

We're proud of our vibrant, thriving Sixth Form that continues to demonstrate and sustain academic and vocational success.

Following our latest Ofsted inspection in November 2021, we remain a 'Good' school. The report said of the Headteacher and Senior Leaders: 'together they have ensured high standards in pupils' behaviour. They have gained the confidence of the staff.'
