Students
Welcome to the Student Zone at Castle Community College.
I am the Key Stage Learning Manager for Years 7, 8 and 9. My role is to ensure that students settle into Year 7 quickly and achieve their potential in their early years in the College. I visit all students in Year 6 who have decided to join us, to explain how we work in secondary schools and I continue to work with and monitor the students until they choose their options and move into Year 10. I work with Mr. Partridge the Key Stage Pastoral Manager, who helps me to check on attendance and other issues. In Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11) Mrs. Ellcock and Mr. Partridge are the Key Stage Learning and Pastoral Managers respectively.
We believe at Castle Community College that students should feel happy and supported in school and we work really hard to make sure that this happens. We work hard but we have fun too.
Apart from all the sports activities and fixtures, each year group goes on a social trip at least once a year. Year 7 and Year 8 go bowling in the Autumn terms, for example. At the end of Term four we are going to a theme park and that is a whole school trip, so anyone can take part. You can start saving for these trips at the start of September, if you wish, by bringing in some of your pocket money a little at a time. It’s good to start learning to budget early in life!
School life is good, if you involve yourself as much as possible. You could join the School Council, become a Peer Mentor, join the Wellbeing Committee, take part in assemblies or help to run various charity events or campaigns. We need you to make a difference to your school.
I hope you enjoy reading your section of the school website and that you will contribute to these pages and to the life of the school.
