What the school offers its staff
Castle Mead School was built in 2014 as a new school for the Castle Mead estate. The school continues to grow in size and when full there will be two classes in each year group with over 400 children on roll. There is a Resource Base providing specialist support for children with a range of complex needs. The school has a strong community feel and staff pride themselves on supporting children to be effective citizens in school and wider society. The school offers an exceptional learning environment, including specialist music and technology rooms, and group learning rooms. The Early Years classes have access to enclosed outdoor play areas that can be used all year round. The school also has extensive grounds and a fantastic outdoor space, which now includes a trim trail. Children grow their own fruit and vegetables and have chickens as part of the school environment.
The school was delighted to be judged Good in all areas by Ofsted in its first inspection in June 2017, and again in March 2023.

Commitment to safeguarding
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

However, amendments to the Exception Order 1975 (2013 & 2020) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’. These are not subject to disclosure to employers and cannot be taken into account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Ministry of Justice website.
