As you may know, over the past academic year we have been marking the school’s 150th birthday. The foundation stone for Castle Primary School was laid in 1875, and the school first opened its doors to pupils in 1876. This remarkable milestone is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our shared history and the important role the school continues to play in the local community.

We are delighted to invite you to join us for a very special event as part of these celebrations:
