You may have noticed something a little different about our social media page in recent months. Back in the summer term, we made the decision to stop sharing photos and videos showing children's faces. While schools regularly feature pupil faces online, with the rapid rise of AI technology, publicly sharing children's faces and school uniforms creates privacy and safety risks we are simply not willing to take. Safeguarding our young people will always be an active, everyday commitment for us. We still love celebrating everything happening across our school! You'll continue to see plenty of hands-on learning, key updates, rehearsals, artwork, projects, and sports - focusing on our pupils' achievements and effort, rather than their faces. Thank you for supporting us in keeping our children safe, protected, and respected online #TeamCastle

From practice with Year 5 & 6 to a Monday night match with Year 8. The future of girls' football at Castle Newnham is bright! Swipe to see the action!

We are absolutely delighted to share a major update on one of our most exciting projects this year: our brand-new School Library on North Site interior design is officially on track for completion ahead of half term, and possibly even in time for our Open Evening on 12th October! We are thrilled to share with you the final designs for what is going to be the most fabulous, inspiring area in our school. Once officially opened, this incredible space will be available every day: Before School (from 8:00 AM): Open every morning for quiet reading, homework, or simply a safe, calm space to start the day. Break & Lunchtime: Dedicated clubs, reading sessions, and quiet activities. After School (3:15 PM – 4:30 PM): Fully accessible for study, homework support, and reading. This is going to be such a hugely positive development for our entire school community, and we really cannot wait for the grand opening. We will share the full details of the official launch shortly. Please take a look at the final design - we hope you are as excited as we are!

This week we held our first SEND information event. It was a great opportunity for families to find out more about what provision we offer to support pupils with additional needs.
