 Well, what an exciting and intense couple of weeks we have had here at Castle Primary School. Firstly, our Year 6 Public Speaking team delivered their argument with passion, confidence and a sentiment that could not be ignored. Consequently, they won!!!! Well done team Ruby, Ava and Jess. You were amazing and we are all very proud of you. Secondly, we submitted entries into the Montacute writing competition earlier this term and we have  multiple children that have been shortlisted and invited to attend the awards evening next week. Over 200 stories were submitted and we are very proud to say that we submitted more than 50 of them! Good luck to all of our authors.  And thirdly, we had the opportunity to show off our school to our visitors from OFSTED at the same time as all of this was happening. Our children, families and staff all demonstrated all of the fantastic things that we do here and we gave it our all. Whilst we will not have a confirmed judgment until the end of the term, we are proud to say that they saw us do what we do every day and that the sense of school pride and support from our families and local community shone through.   Thank you all for your support.  Mr MortonCategories: 1 CategorySchool News

Another fabulous term here at Castle Primary School. As a school we have been focusing on the value of perseverance. It seemed like an appropriate value to reflect upon as this half term sees our Yr 2 and Yr 6 children participate in the national SATs tests. Cast your minds back to those heady days of being in school and sitting a test, yourself. “Ugh!!!” I hear you say. The children have been amazing. They demonstrated resilience, stamina and persevered until the final paper was completed. They all shone brightly and were able to demonstrate all of their hard work, understanding and educational prowess. We are very proud of them all.   This week our school again competed in the Trust Public Speaking Competition. Tennessee, Hebe and Lexi M all represented our school and spoke with passion and enthusiasm about the subject of ‘Equality and how children can make a difference’. In front of an audience of their peers, teachers and a panel of judges, the children gave their speech with confidence. It was inspiring to hear them quote famous activists who have been a force for change in our world and to share how we, as a community, can also make a difference. Powerful and wise words from such young minds. It was truly inspiring to hear them speak.   As half term approaches and we all start to blow the dust off of that box of summer clothes that we were beginning to think we would never see or need again, we wish you all a restful and hopefully sunny break from school and we look forward to welcoming you all back for our final half term’s exciting learning and events. I hope to see you all on Monday 29th at the May Fayre.  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News

It has been another exciting and rather jam packed half term of new experiences and educational adventures here at school. It is always a real privilege to be part of the learning journey that our children undertake each half term and I am always blown away by how they apply their skills and knowledge to find the answers and to make those connections that allow them to make sense of the wider world.  It is not just in school that we see our children flourish. Well done and thank you to all of the children who represented our school at the Trust Performing Arts day, held at The Brewhouse Theatre in Taunton. You sang your amazing hearts out and filled the theatre with music. I know that you all had a fantastic day and that the experience of standing on a stage in front of a live audience was equally as scary as it was memorable.  I hope you have noticed the new amazing reading shed that has appeared on our playground this week? Our reading champions have worked tirelessly to raise money to fund the project. The new shed was designed and generously built by Mr Hayne. I'm sure you will join us in thanking Mr Hayne for this amazing addition to the school. It has now offered even more opportunities for our children to connect with reading and to extreme read!  Please all have a safe, restful and joyous Easter break filled with family, celebrations and maybe some chocolate eggs! We look forward to welcoming you all back for our Summer Term on Tuesday 18th of April. Happy Easter everyone!    Steve Morton Executive Head of School  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
