What the school offers its staff

At Casterton Primary Academy, we aim to provide an environment where all children are inspired to learn and achieve to the very best of their ability. Our children love coming to school. They feel safe, develop strong friendships, have fun in their learning and their play, and have the confidence to explore new challenges. We have excellent relationships with parents whom we work closely with.

Our core values are based on our vision that every child will SHINE: they will be Safe, Here, Inspired, Neighbourly and Excellent in everything they set out to achieve. These values are embedded in everything we do throughout school.

The curriculum at Casterton Primary Academy is learner-centred and has been developed internally to reflect the needs of our children and community over a 2 year rolling programme. We offer a fully inclusive curriculum which enables all children, regardless of their individual starting points, to thrive and succeed. Being active and developing fundamental movement skills that can be applied throughout life is an important part of our curriculum. We have an active role within Burnley Sports Partnership giving the children a wide range of opportunities.

One of our many strengths lies in the mixed catchment that we draw from which mirrors the local community of Burnley. We have approx. 290 children on roll from a range of backgrounds, a large proportion of whom speak English as an additional language.

By joining Casterton Primary Academy, you will become part of a supportive and ambitious team. We collaborate with our colleagues at Pendle Primary Academy and Castercliff Primary Academy, as well as the two secondary academies in the Pendle Education Trust family, and benefit from the support of the Trust’s core team for functions such as Finance, Facilities, Human Resources, Health and Safety, IT, Marketing and Governance.
