At Castle Park Primary School we consider equal opportunities as central to the ethos and activities within the school. Adults and pupils who make up the school community should feel valued and free from discrimination. We believe that we should cater for the needs of all children in our community, regardless of race, culture, religion and ability. Extra-Curricular activities are seen as vital to the development of the whole child. At Castle Park Primary School we offer a wide range of activities, which increase self-esteem, broaden experience, build confidence and provide experiences where success is shared. We offer extra curricular activities such as Chess, Country Dancing, Cooking, Cycling, Art, Gardening, Reading, Craft and Sewing.

We take great pride in the behaviour of our pupils. The emphasis in the school is to praise positive behaviour, attitude and effort to increase children’s awareness of the need to make a positive contribution to their community.
