Castle View Academy is a friendly and determined school at the heart of its community, using excellence in all we do to bring out the best in everyone and give every student the best chance to succeed. We serve the needs of 600 students, their families and the local community and we are a successful, vibrant, welcoming and inclusive 11-16 academy.
We provide an education with character, encompassing our core values which are central to our decision-making. We ensure that these values run through our policies, appointments and all our interactions with students, parents, staff and the community.
We aim to provide a better standard of education that sees each and every student outperform expectations in terms of their achievements in the classroom and aim to provide an environment which is inspiring and aspirational. This is encapsulated in our mission to bring out ‘the best in everyone’.

Teaching at Castle View Academy is utopia! It's a pleasure to work there - a reminder of why I went into teaching and a working environment we all yearn for.
Had a fantastic week working across all year groups on our '1 in 10' project. The young people are headstrong, creative and a pleasure to work with.
Being resident dance company at Castle View Academy was a unique and special experience that enabled mutual learning and skill sharing. It was wonderful to work with a Academy that celebrates and recognises the importance of performance and the arts within education and young people's development. I look forward to witnessing how the school continues to develop the next generation and hope that this is the start of a continuing relationship.
Loved every minute inspiring the year 11 students at Castle View Academy; the students were very enthusiastic and engaged throughout the 2 sessions, really impressed with their level of maturity and focus. I can't wait to see what they achieve over the summer; huge congratulations to the teachers too, because they are clearly doing something right.
My child is so happy at this school she is totally transformed
What I like most is the premise that simple is always best and I appreciate that is what you have achieved at Castle View in an incredibly short period of time. I cannot stress how impressed we all felt about the ethos of the school as we went from classroom to classroom
Finally a school that is passionate about every lesson, every day
I have high expectations of my schools, You will not be disappointed in Castle View
