Introduction 

At The Costello School, every student is an individual and is important to us.

We recognise in today's society, the is an ever increasing need for robust support that is beyond the normal school day and school curriculum.

We have a strong pastoral system at The Costello School  that allows us to support our students in the best way we can with their day to day concerns, as well as looking at their longer term goals and aspirations.
