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.
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.
I have high expectations of my schools You will not be disappointed in Castle View
Absolutely stunning group of students, a pure delight to be in their company! Loved it!
