Welcome to Castleside Primary School

At Castleside Primary we pride ourselves in being a vibrant learning community where the individual is valued and achievement in its widest sense is celebrated.

We believe that learning should be enjoyable and believe that fun is an essential part of life at Castleside Primary. We want our pupils to leave with very happy memories of their time here, having achieved success and feeling motivated and enthusiastic about their future.

Castleside Primary is a special place - but don't just take our word for it. Come and see for yourself and feel the magic in this wonderful little school. We may be small, but we are mighty - and from small seeds, great things grow!

This Friday, 27th June - 3pm
All welcome to join us at our Summer Fair - with family fun, The Biking Vikings, Sponge the Headteacher, Police, Storey's Penalty Shoot Out, Refreshments and much more! 5 Likes

Photos from Castleside Primary School's post Well, the sun was out today and Class 4 decided to have a water fight. All started quite calmly, then Mrs Lightley decided to play dirty with the hosepipe. Behaviour like that deserves only one reaction - AMBUSH! You're going to have a soggy drive home, Miss! 15 Likes

Today on National Thank a Teacher Day, I'd like to give a shout out to the whole of our Castleside Team! They are valued everyday, not just today, and without them, my life would be so much harder. They are absolutely amazing, go above and beyond, and do it all with a smile!
If you'd like to thank a member of staff - please leave them a message below! I'll add all of your comments to our staff well-being board!
Thank you - Mrs Woodhall 5 Likes

Photos from Castleside Primary School's post Over the last 2 weeks, Year 4 and 5 have been continuing their Step into STEM project with Active Families North East CIC. Amy and Gary brought along the 3D printer to show the children how rapid prototyping could be used to develop and improve designs. The children tried out tinker CAD software on the touchscreen laptops. They created computer models of the electronics that are going to be put inside their finished project. We are looking forward to our last session and seeing their final product in action. 10 Likes

Photos from Castleside Primary School's post Class 3 enjoyed their double decker bus rides and a sunny walk around the old Consett Steelworks sites and memorials. We walked over 4 miles, enjoying lunch in the park bandstand and a stop into the Blackhill and Consett Park Lodge to see Laura Brenchley. Thank you Rob Moran for sharing the knowledge and archives of History of Consett Steelworks group with the children. 29 Likes
