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.
We were incredibly impressed today with the engagement and intellect of the top set Y9's, and were hugely impressed with the atmosphere around the school.
This school has very good techniques of learning.
This is a well led school, and I appreciate everything they do for my child. It's easy to have a great relationship between me and the school.
This school is amazing now some massive changes have been made. Thank you.
A great learning environment which has improved immensely over the past few months.
This school has greatly improved I am very happy with my child’s progress.
My child has settled well at CVA and is really happy.
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.
The school is very well organised and I would totally recommend this to other parents.
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.
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.
From refusing to come to school, my son now has almost 100% attendance!
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
