Castle Wood School  

Castle Wood is a large broad spectrum special primary school (4-11 years) with 156  plus 2 over commissioned pupils.  

We were formed in April 2008, as the result of the amalgamation of two special schools and moved to a new site and purpose-built premises in September 2010, co-located with Moat House Primary School.

In September 2019 we increased our school by 1 class and in January 2020 we have increased our school size by 1 more class. The school has been carefully planned to enable access for all pupils and we have purpose built facilities, such as; a hydrotherapy pool, soft play, forest school and outdoor learning spaces. 

Castle Wood admits pupils with a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities (cognition and learning). We have pupils with profound and multiple needs, severe and moderate learning difficulties. We also admit pupils with autistic spectrum condition (communication and interaction) and additional learning difficulties.
