Dear Parents,
As we open our doors to another school year, it is with great excitement and anticipation that we welcome you back to our vibrant learning community. We are delighted to have our pupils return for another year of adventure, discovery, and growth.
I would like to warmly welcome all the new pupils and their families joining the Castle Park community this year. Transitioning to a new school can be both an exciting and nervous time, but rest assured, you are in a nurturing and supportive environment. Our teachers and staff are here to ensure that you quickly find your place and feel right at home
You will be glad to hear that the children are quickly settling into their daily routines It's lovely to see how they've quickly adapted to the school environment, schedules, and expectations This ease of adjustment provides a solid base for a successful academic year ahead
