Castle View Primary School

A little bit about Castle View Primary School... 

Our school is in the town of Matlock, on the edge of the Peak District overlooking the impressive Riber Castle. The main school building dates back to the late 1800s but has had many alterations and additions since then. We are an extensive site, with our own separate hall, dining kitchen, playing field and Key Stage 1 and 2 buildings, as well as a purpose built nursery. We host a daily breakfast club and afterschool club. 

Castle View Primary School is an inclusive, caring school where every child matters, we recognise that all children have talents and abilities to celebrate, and a part of our role is to help them discover and develop these. We encourage a strong community spirit, where we show consideration and respect for each other; understand differences, and uphold kind, well-mannered behaviour. 

Our school value ‘Exceeding Expectations, Raising Aspirations’ embodies our whole school ethos. We want our children to have high aspirations and to believe in themselves. We will ensure that all our children learn effectively, not only so they achieve as well as they can right across the curriculum, but also so they learn about themselves and others. We will do all we can to ensure our pupils are confident, aspirational and empowered to participate successfully at an academic, social and emotional level in a rapidly changing world.
