About the School

Castle Newnham provides all-through education for children aged 4 to 16 in the heart of Bedford.
As part of the Bedfordshire Schools Trust (BEST), Castle Newnham offers a broad and balanced curriculum designed to foster academic achievement, creativity, physical development, and global citizenship.
Our supportive, highly inclusive school community provides rich opportunities for every child to excel and flourish.
We share the CORE values of Community, Opportunity, Respect and Excellence, guiding us in nurturing the "whole child" – academically, socially and emotionally. We believe strong partnerships between school and home are crucial.
We provide a supportive and challenging learning environment and foster a culture that encourages young people to become thoughtful, capable, and responsible citizens. We have high expectations of all, and we regard our pupils as individuals, with differing strengths and interests; we are committed to identifying and nurturing the abilities, efforts and talents of every learner and to ensure that everyone has the chance to shine.
