Castle Academy is in Conisbrough, within Doncaster, South Yorkshire, near Barnsley and Rotherham. We’re a small, welcoming school with seven classes for children aged 4 to 11.
We’re part of the Astrea Academy Trust, a group of schools that supports learning beyond the classroom. Astrea’s values of scholarship, curiosity, tenacity, aspiration and empathy guide everything we do and help children grow into thoughtful learners.
Astrea schools focus on each child’s development, encouraging both academic and personal growth. The Trust’s logo, a tree made of three figures reaching for a star, reflects this.
Astrea has been recognised for raising standards and increasing opportunities in areas that need them most. With support from the Department for Education’s Northern Sponsor Fund, it is helping schools across the north make lasting change.
Being part of this wider network brings real benefits to Castle. We stay true to who we are while learning and sharing with other schools. It’s a partnership that makes us all stronger.
