Castle Wood Academy was opened in September 2015 and has gradually grown over the years to the point where we have had three year six cohorts leave us. It is in an impressive, new, light and spacious building with two playgrounds, ample outdoor space and an outdoor learning area. There are housing developments wrapping around the school and so it is anticipated that this will increase numbers from our current NOR of 280 with 11 classes.

At the moment, the school operates a mixture of one and two from entry single year groups but the hope is that we will be a full capacity two-form entry school in the future.
