School Description

Pupils are happy and kept safe at Castlebar School. Pupils flourish here because relationships are highly positive. Consistent routines, a calm atmosphere and familiar adults provide stability, enabling pupils to access learning and school life with ease. As a result, behaviour is strong in lessons and around the site. The development of pupils’ communication and socialisation is prioritised. Specialist training, knowledge and support underpin the curriculum, meaning pupils typically achieve well from their different starting points. However, in some subjects, for pupils who are ready to access the national curriculum, learning is not as well designed. Pupils benefit from a wide range of experiences that enrich the curriculum and prepare them well for their future education and life outside of school. For example, all classes use the on-site swimming pool, reducing any fear of water that might exist and providing a valuable life skill. Many pupils told the inspectors that swimming was one of their favourite activities.
