Change in weather - It has been a very wintery and wet start to the new term, however our site team have been working hard to make sure both sites are safe in and around the schools. Please keep a check on the weather and ensure your child wears a warm coat into school otherwise they may not be allowed out at break and lunchtime.
Half Marathon for the ManMade Project - Miss Bagshaw (Rooksdown teacher) will be running the Hampton Court Palace Half Marathon on 15th March 2026 in aid of Castle Hill Primary School and ManMade 2026. She is hoping to raise £750 and the money raised will help fund the ManMade 2026 project, and allow children involved to receive a t-shirt to represent their dedication, success and resilience. Any additional funds will then be donated to the school to support PE and sporting engagement where needed. If you would like to kindly support Miss Bagshaw in her fundraising, the link is included below. There is absolutely no expectation to donate, but any support is greatly appreciated. Thank you - https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/miss-bagshaw?utm_medium=FA&utm_source=CL
