Castle Wood School Connections
Castle Wood Visit
Castle Wood Visit: On Monday 16th March 2026, our Year 2 School Councillors visited Castle Wood to help pupils there create colourful bookmarks to sell in the local community. The children used finger‑printing techniques and added details with felt‑tip pens, producing wonderfully realistic fish, bumblebees, flowers and rainbows. Everyone had a fantastic afternoon working together, and it was lovely to spend time with our next‑door neighbours.
Castle Wood Visit: On Monday 31st March 2025, we welcomed some of our Castle Wood neighbours here at Moat House to discuss the good work that our two schools have been doing recently. This included our joint fundraiser for Myton Hospices – between both schools, we managed to raise almost £300 – thanks to everyone who contributed. To finish the afternoon, we had some fun and enjoyed an Easter hunt – everyone enjoyed the afternoon and all went home with a chocolate treat!
Castle Wood Visit: On Monday 25th November 2024, representatives from the School Council visited our neighbours, Castle Wood to discuss ideas for working together this academic year. One of our ideas is to jointly raise money for Myton Hospice nurses, who do a wonderful job of looking after people who are very poorly. We will further discuss this with the rest of the School Council and let you know of our future plans.
School Council Visit to Castle Wood: On Monday 24th June, our Key Stage 2 School Councillors visited Castle Wood to discuss the impact of the work that they have done over this year. They were all surprised with the amount of things that they have achieved, including fundraising for local (as well as national) charities and the purchase of bins on the shared site to improve the cleanliness of the environment.
School Council: On Monday 11th March, our Key Stage 1 School Council members visited Castle Wood, where they shared the work they have been doing on improving waste collection on the shared school site. They all represented Moat House brilliantly and were treated to an Easter egg hunt, as a reward for their excellent work!
